Head of Technology, North America
Heidi · San Francisco
Who We Are
Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible.
We're a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.
In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals, supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.
Backed by significant venture funding, we're growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health.
What You'll Do
Own product and engineering strategy and execution for North America, with particular depth on regionalizing our platform across the US and Canadian markets, two complex systems that require deep understanding in order to simplify.
Lead our forward-deployed product motion end to end: shaping the custom AI workflow solutions we build for larger midmarket and enterprise customers, turning bespoke, one-off requests into a repeatable, scalable product line, and owning the engineering build that ships it.
Build and run a single, accountable technology organization for North America spanning product management and engineering, rather than splitting ownership across two functions.
Advocate for NA priorities with globally distributed product and engineering teams in Australia, and hold the line on regional nuance in both the roadmap and the technical architecture.
Build and scale the NA technology organization, starting with two squads (each with embedded product and engineering) and growing headcount and structure in step with revenue.
Serve as the single technology voice for North America in global leadership discussions, balancing local urgency against global platform coherence.
Report directly to Jessie Young (President, North America) and work in close collaboration with the global Head of Product and Head of Engineering based in Australia.
What We're Looking For
A technology leader who gets genuinely obsessed with market complexity rather than resenting it. Someone who wants to understand why a Canadian clinical director's workflow differs from a US one, and who can turn that understanding into both a roadmap and working software.
Health tech or clinical technology experience strongly preferred; regulated-industry experience is a baseline requirement, across both product and engineering.
Proven experience standing up or scaling a forward-deployed or custom-solutions motion for mid-market/enterprise customers, spanning both the product definition and the engineering build. You know how to find the repeatable pattern inside a pile of "special" customer requests, and how to staff the team that ships it.
Strong organizational leadership across both disciplines: you've built and run product and engineering teams, not just contributed to one, and you know how to hire and develop product managers and engineers in a fast-scaling environment.
Comfortable maintaining (and constantly revising) a roadmap in a startup where priorities shift under you, while staying close enough to the engineering org to know what's actually shippable. You plan in a way that survives contact with reality.
The ability to communicate fluently with both technical and commercial leadership, and to earn trust with a leadership team based on the other side of the globe.
A bias for velocity paired with the discipline enterprise healthcare demands, and enough technical depth to make architecture and build-vs-buy calls yourself.
Other Things to Know
This role is in-office in San Francisco. We believe in the energy and focus of being in the room together.
You'll be working with our product and engineering teams in Australia.
You'll work in a true partnership model with the Head of Engineering, NA. This office runs on that pairing.
This team starts at two squads; expect the scope and headcount to grow as NA revenue does.
The Way We Work
Live Forever: We build for healthcare's next decade, not next quarter. We set outrageous targets, lead healthcare forward, and follow the evidence, even when it's uncomfortable.
Practice Ownership: Everyone here carries the company. We raise the bar on hiring and excellence, own the outcome end-to-end, and focus on what matters over process.
Move Fast, Fix Faster: The more we do, the more we learn. We ship atoms daily, learn from every release, and stay precise at pace.
Get Better: The best clinicians teach. So do we. We live in clinicians' reality, bring warmth to the work, and choose clarity, not cleverness.
