About the role
- Leap is entering a phase where engineering becomes a core source of company leverage.
- This is Leap's first engineering leadership role.
- Leap sits at a rare intersection in healthcare: employer membership, claims data, drug-level economics, clinical workflows, provider networks, procurement pathways, and direct patient and prescriber touchpoints.
Responsibilities
- Building the Team
- Own hiring end to end - set ambitious targets, build the pipeline, and close engineers who clear a high bar
- Build the structure and culture a fast-moving team needs as it scales
- The Roadmap You'll Own
- Own and sequence the technical roadmap, making the prioritization and build-vs-buy calls that hold up as Leap scales
- Build the intervention engine and AI workflows - at-risk prediction, prior authorization, formulary and site-of-care optimization - that turn analysis into action
- Set the standard for how Leap builds: AI-native, fast, and correct by default
- Unblock the team, own the hard technical calls, and dive in when it matters
Requirements
- Early-stage experience as a founder, founding engineer, or first engineering leader
- You've built and scaled an engineering team from a handful of people into a high-performing org - you've owned hiring, set the bar, and closed exceptional engineers.
Nice to have
- You've operated at a high bar at organizations known for exceptional engineering - your track record speaks for itself.
Compensation
- Competitive salary
Benefits
- Eligibility for equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Access to 401(k) retirement plan
- Build the cross-benefit drug identity layer that resolves one specialty therapy across NDC and HCPCS/J-codes as biosimilars multiply
- Flexible remote work
