About Us

At Sully.ai, We’re Building the Most Impactful Healthcare Company on Earth

We believe that access to a great doctor is a basic human right. Today, that’s not a reality. Delays, misdiagnoses, administrative chaos, and burnout plague the system.

Our Mission: One Human, One Doctor. We build AI teammates that augment clinicians — scribes, nurses, receptionists, translators — all powered by our own world‑class models and deployed in real‑world care.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Head of Engineering, Platform to own and scale the Platform domain with full technical and execution ownership for its surface area.

Key Responsibilities

• End‑to‑end engineering execution: architecture → roadmap → delivery → reliability.
• Step‑function performance improvements — targeting 50%+ latency cuts across AI workflows.
• Observability, metrics, and model‑selection systems that hold up at scale.
• Engineering rituals that keep teams shipping: standups, backlog ownership (Linear), cross‑functional coordination.
• Translating product goals into clear plans, timelines, and unblocked teams.
• Continuous quality pipelines: accuracy, completeness, reliability of every output.
• Engineering bar across the stack: code quality, reviews, on‑call, operational rigor.

Hard Requirements

• You’ve built something from zero and shipped it: founder, founding engineer, or first technical hire at a company that actually mattered to you.
• You’ve led people (even a small team) and made them better, not just managed them.
• You thrive in high‑intensity, early‑stage environments, YC, seed‑stage, zero‑to‑one — where speed and judgment are the whole game.
• Ambiguity is your operating system. Incomplete direction → clear technical plan → shipped product. No heavy process needed.
• You default to leverage and simplicity: durable solutions, sharp instinct for when to optimize vs. when to ship.
• You still write code. This is a player‑coach role, not a meetings role.

Key Results (First 90 Days)

• Take full ownership of the Platform engineering domain.
• Ensure end‑to‑end observability and alerting for core workflows.
• Define the domain’s key performance, reliability, and quality metrics.
• Identify and ship at least one high‑impact improvement.
• Establish execution cadence, priorities, and quality standards.
