Who We Are   Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible. We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients. In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals, supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.

What We’re Looking For   A technically credible engineering leader who can recruit and lead a high-performing distributed team and still get into the weeds when it matters. You are still a working technical contributor. You do architecture reviews, set standards directly, and can tell a sound technical decision from a brittle one without needing your team to brief you first Proven experience with forward-deployed or professional services engineering in a regulated enterprise environment; healthcare or clinical technology experience is a strong plus.

You’ll have strong influence over the global product roadmap for North America. The Way We Work   Live Forever : We build for healthcare’s next decade, not next quarter. We set outrageous targets, lead healthcare forward, and follow the evidence, even when it’s uncomfortable. Practice Ownership : Everyone here carries the company. We raise the bar on hiring and excellence, own the outcome end-to-end, and focus on what matters over process. Move Fast, Fix Faster : The more we do, the more we learn. We ship atoms daily, learn from every release, and stay precise at pace. Get Better : The best clinicians teach. So do we.
