Director of Product Engineering - Remote

Position Summary

Blackbird Health is looking to hire a Director of Product Engineering to join our growing Technology Leadership team. This role will own the end-to-end delivery of our core full-stack applications—from patient-facing mobile experiences to provider-facing clinical experiences. You will lead multiple product engineering areas, defining the architectural vision for our platform while fostering a high-performance culture of rapid execution (e.g., ship in a few days on occasions) and rigorous reliability (e.g., 99.9% availability, 95% code coverage). You will serve as a bridge between our cutting-edge AI research and our production software, ensuring our systems are scalable, secure, and intuitive.

What makes you, you

• High Standards: You strive for high standards within constraints in code and user experiences, constantly raising the bar for the organization.
• Clarity of Thought: You can translate complex technical concepts into clear strategies for non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Empathy & Integrity: You lead with heart, caring deeply about the growth of your technical and clinical colleagues and the well-being of the patients we serve.
• Big Tech DNA: You understand the operational rigor of world-class engineering organizations (like Microsoft, Meta, Google) and can right-size those practices for a growth-stage company.
• Product-Minded: You don't just build to spec; you will own the spec as product engineering. You understand the business context and use data to drive engineering decisions.
• Growth Mindset: You view failures as learning opportunities and foster a psychologically safe environment where innovation can thrive.

How you'll make an impact

• Technical Strategy: Define and execute the architectural roadmap for our web and mobile platforms, transitioning to a scalable, service-oriented architecture.
• Platform Engineering: Architect the application layer that integrates our foundational services like the EHR that houses our clinical workflows with our novel services, ensuring low latency and high reliability.
• Delivery Excellence: Adopt a move fast delivery cadence to break down complex problems into iterative releases.
