In this role, you'll lead from the front: pairing with engineers, architecting systems, and setting a high bar for technical excellence and curiosity across the team.

Strong technical judgment, with a track record of making sound tradeoffs around experimentation, technical debt, and long-term scalability.
Experience operating in high-growth, high-urgency environments, with a bias toward action, iteration, and forward momentum.

Pelago has scaled to helping hundreds of employers and health plans and has already helped more than 750,000 members better manage their substance use.
If you're passionate about AI and making an impact on the health of others, join us and make it happen!
Shift the team from output to outcomes, framing ambiguous problem spaces, running fast learning loops, and ensuring work is measured by real member and business impact.
