Head of Engineering

the team: reviewing architecture decisions, unblocking engineers, experimenting with new tooling, prototyping systems, and helping the organization adopt the newest AI-enabled development workflows. You should have strong instincts for how modern engineering organizations operate in an AI-native world — where lean, highly-leveraged teams can execute roadmaps that previously required significantly larger organizations. Evvy is a primarily in-person team based in NYC. Given the cross-functional nature of this role, our ideal candidate is located in NYC.

What You'll Do Technical Vision & AI-Native Execution Translate Evvy’s company and product vision into a scalable technical roadmap across engineering, AI, and data infrastructure Define architecture and technical strategy that enables a lean team to move exceptionally quickly without sacrificing reliability or scalability Identify and deploy modern AI-enabled engineering workflows, tooling, and infrastructure that increase developer leverage and execution speed Stay deeply hands-on with architecture, implementation details, debugging, and technical problem-solving Establish best practices around architecture, code quality, security, scalability, and AI-assisted development workflows Partner closely with ML and research teams to bring AI-powered systems and algorithms into production Engineering Leadership & Culture Lead, mentor, and grow Evvy’s engineering organization Build a culture of ownership, urgency, product thinking, and technical excellence Create an engineering organization that embraces modern tooling, rapid iteration, and continuous learning Balance short-term product velocity with thoughtful infrastructure investments and long-term maintainability Partner closely with the CEO on hiring, org design, and long-term technical strategy Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Clinical, Operations, CX, Marketing, and Growth teams to build systems that solve real user problems Ensure engineering decisions are grounded in user value, business impact, and operational scalability Help shape roadmap prioritization, technical tradeoffs, and execution planning across the company Serve as the voice of engineering across all levels of the organization Security, Privacy & Infrastructure Own Evvy’s vision for platform security, privacy, and technical trust Manage internal systems access and compliance processes related to sensitive healthcare and patient data Evaluate new vendors, tools, and infrastructure through both technical and compliance lenses Help ensure Evvy remains best-in-class in data privacy and responsible healthcare infrastructure

What We're Looking For You are: Deeply product-minded and obsessed with building systems that create real user value Intensely hands-on and excited to work directly alongside engineers in the weeds AI-native by default — constantly exploring how new technologies can accelerate development and increase leverage Energized by building lean, high-output engineering teams that can execute ambitious roadmaps quickly Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making thoughtful decisions with imperfect information A strong technical leader who can balance speed, quality, scalability, and pragmatism Passionate about building strong engineering cultures and mentoring high-performing teams An exceptional communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders You have: 10+ years of engineering experience, including 4+ years in engineering leadership roles Experience leading engineering organizations through high-growth startup stages (Series B and beyond) Experience building and scaling consumer-facing platforms, internal systems, or data-intensive products Strong architectural instincts across modern web infrastructure and AI-enabled systems Experience deploying modern AI tooling and workflows across software development processes Experience hiring, mentoring, and managing engineers while remaining highly technical yourself Familiarity with modern engineering stacks similar to Evvy’s (Python/Django, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Snowflake, etc.) Helpful but not required: Experience in healthtech or other regulated industries Experience productionizing ML/AI systems Experience with HIPAA, security certifications, or privacy-sensitive infrastructure Experience supporting diagnostics, ecommerce, or patient-facing healthcare platforms Working at Evvy Evvy is a primarily in-person team based in New York, NY with a strong culture of collaboration and connection.
