Engineering Team Lead

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly skilled Engineering Lead with 8+ years of experience to own and scale our healthcare platform across India, the Middle East, Latin America, and the US.

You will architect scalable systems, lead a distributed engineering team, and remain hands-on with key technical decisions and code.

This is not a framework-focused role — it requires deep Python fundamentals, strong API and data architecture skills, and an understanding of healthcare interoperability (HL7, FHIR).

You’ll also guide Angular-based frontend architecture, ensuring performance, security, and compliance across multiple regions.

If you thrive in complex, regulated environments and love building mission-critical systems, this role offers both impact and growth.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Own end-to-end platform architecture for EMR/HMS systems serving multiple geographies with 99.9%+ uptime.
• Design and develop Python-based APIs, data processing pipelines, and healthcare integrations (HL7/FHIR).
• Architect and optimize AI/ML inference pipelines for clinical intelligence systems.
• Review and guide Angular frontend architecture, component design, and performance optimization.
• Design and manage clinical data models, longitudinal patient records, and legacy EMR migration strategies.
• Oversee multi-region infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and ensure compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and ABDM regulations.

Team & Delivery

• Manage and mentor backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps engineers across distributed teams.
• Translate product requirements into scalable, compliant technical solutions.
• Establish an engineering culture centered on ownership, reliability, quality, and clinical safety.
• Lead technical due diligence and architecture planning for new market entries.
• Coordinate deployments across multiple time zones and regulatory environments.

Hands-On Contribution

• Write and review production code for critical backend and frontend components.
• Debug complex production issues in healthcare environments.
• Make architecture-level decisions and unblock teams when required.

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 8+ years in software development with deep Python expertise (API design, systems architecture, not just frameworks).
• Hands-on Angular + TypeScript experience for frontend architecture and team guidance.
• 3+ years building healthcare IT systems (HL7/FHIR, EMR/HMS, or clinical data platforms).
• 3+ years of technical leadership managing distributed engineering teams.
• Proven experience deploying AI/ML systems in regulated healthcare environments.
• Strong background in cloud-native architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), microservices, and databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis).
• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines for multi-environment deployments.
• Demonstrated ability to maintain 99.9%+ uptime for business-critical systems.

Technical Skills

• Expert-level Python for healthcare integrations, data processing, and automation.
• Production-level Angular experience (state management, component architecture, performance tuning).
• Deep understanding of healthcare interoperability standards, compliance frameworks, and data security.
• Experience architecting for LATAM, Middle East, or other emerging-market infrastructure constraints.

Leadership Qualities

• Strong communicator — able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage teams across multiple time zones.
• Problem-solving mindset grounded in clinical safety and reliability.
• Balances technical debt, feature delivery, and platform stability with sound judgment.
