Who you'll join

A Series C edtech company opening accessible pathways into healthcare careers, serving students from entry-level medical assistant programs all the way through to nursing degrees. The platform is fully in-house, growing fast from 40 to 115 people in a year, and now moving into B2B partnerships with major healthcare systems including HCA, Amazon Health, and Mount Sinai.

4. Partner with Product, Design, and Data to shape what gets built and when.
5. Contribute roughly 20% of your time through code reviews, architecture, and individual contributions.

Who you are

1. Bring five or more years of engineering experience, with two to five years managing teams.
2. Stay technically capable enough to do a system design interview and get hands-on when needed.
3. Connect what your team builds to measurable outcomes, not just PM satisfaction.
4. Have worked in a startup or fast-moving environment where priorities shift mid-quarter.
5. Partner closely with product and design rather than waiting to receive requirements.
6. Communicate with clarity and some genuine presence, you will be leading people, not just shipping code.
7. Bonus: experience with adaptive learning platforms, LLM tooling, or ranking and matching algorithms.
