Engineering Director
Our Mission
Calibrate’s mission is to change the way the world treats weight.
Our Method
Calibrate is on a mission to change the way the world treats weight. We are the modern, medical approach to metabolic health. Calibrate members are paired with a doctor and a coach, who support them during their customized year-long program to lose 10% of their body weight and reset their metabolic system. We personalize treatment with medications and behavior coaching, using content and connected devices to help change the way members eat, exercise, sleep, and manage their emotional health.
About The Role
We are looking for a Engineering Director to join as our first engineering hire. As the first senior member of the engineering team you will have the opportunity to drive the architecture behind Calibrate’s digital experience and build the team to execute the company’s vision. You will work closely with the head of product and the founding team to not just lay the foundation for engineering but will help develop the company culture overall around building effective, awesome products.
The ideal candidate is as passionate about creating seamless customer experiences as they are about solving complex infrastructure problems with elegant solutions. They are also well versed in building proof of concepts from scratch, taking these POCs to production and scale, and recruiting and mentoring a technical team. They would expect to lead a team of 6-10 software engineers within a year - and are excited to build that team themselves.
Who We Are:
- A passionate, people-minded and mission-driven group of product, technical and medical professionals from companies like One Medical, Oscar Health, Capsule, Rent the Runway and more.
- Solution-oriented and motivated by complex challenges that have a deep impact.
Products you will build and work on:
- Consumer facing application (mobile and web) to engage and change behaviors to improve weight health.
- AI telehealth communication platform (chat, video, phone) between patients and providers.
- Doctor and coaching internal platform that helps our team efficiently deliver the right care to the right members at the right time.
- Growth product and infrastructure to drive sales from initial ad campaigns through conversion.
- Robust internal framework that connects to external healthcare and non-healthcare data sources.
Responsibilities:
- As the first engineer on the team, take ownership of custom applications, set the technical direction for the company, and grow and manage the engineering organization.
- Partner with the Head of Product to design and build our first scalable, consumer and internal platforms to launch and grow a brand new healthcare company.
- Lead recruitment of their engineering team and help with the recruitment of product and design
- Develop and scale the internal and externally facing product.
- This can either be a senior level individual contributor or have a management track, depending on your experience and interest!
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of engineering experience, at least 2 of which spent leading other engineers
- Broad experience with frontend and backend programming (Python/JavaScript/CSS/HTML for languages, and Django / React for frameworks)
- Experience with relational databases, like PostgreSQL
- Experience working on applications from scratch through multiple iterations, embedded with a product and design team
- Deep understanding of the "behind-the-scenes" of consumer facing web applications.
- Deep understanding of core modern web service concepts such as API design and data modelling.
- Driven to translate business problems and user requirements and into robust solutions alongside product and design.
- Collaborative and eager to work with product, and non-technical members of the team.
- Experience working with greenfield projects is a plus!
