You will be a driver of our AI-powered product development transformation working directly with code teams and the wider Engineering community to fundamentally reimagine how we build patient-facing software. This role is for someone who thrives on being deeply technical while driving organizational change through example influence and results as we reinvent the very nature of coding itself.
