About the role Why Lamar Health?

What do we do: We take care of shitty paperwork for very expensive drugs.

Location

On-site/Remote in San Francisco, CA

Type: Employee (Full-Time)

Compensation

Competitive + mission-driven impact

Our CEO worked on the AI model for the COVID Pfizer vaccine. We’re a good fit for someone that needs to have this level of impact.

About Lamar Health

Lamar Health is building modern infrastructure for healthcare delivery — helping care teams, clinics, and patients connect seamlessly through intelligent software. Our mission is to bring speed, clarity, and coordination to a space that’s too often fragmented and slow.

We work with leading healthcare organizations to reimagine how technology supports care delivery — from data integration to patient experience. Every deployment matters because it directly affects how real people access care.

About the Role

As a Head of Engineering (HOE) at Lamar Health , you’ll bridge the gap between our core platform and the real-world needs of our customers — health systems, clinics, and care teams. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our CEO, sales, engineers and customers to understand their workflows, design solutions that streamline operations, and ensure that our technology drives measurable impact in patient outcomes and care efficiency.

We are looking for a player-coach type personality that loves to live in the code and build process, teams and systems to help scale for our next phase of growth.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to develop the roadmap based on real-world customer needs.
• Help ensure reliability, scalability and extendibility of our core product offering.
• Help decide what we DO NOT do.
• Manage the engineering team and set up systems and processes for growth and development
• Be a hands on player-coach for the team, 50% of the time in the code and 50% managing

Who You Are

• You have 4-7 years of experience building and shipping software in production (Python, TypeScript, or similar).
• You’re excited about the intersection of technology, healthcare, and product thinking .
• You’re comfortable in ambiguity — prioritizing impact over perfection.
• You value outcome based engineering.
• You value empathy and communication as much as technical skill.
• You want to see your work directly improve healthcare delivery and patient experience.

Bonus Points

• Projects you’ve worked on and can share
• Comfort working in regulated or privacy-sensitive environments (HIPAA, SOC2).

Why You’ll Love Working at Lamar Health

Impact: Your work will touch real clinics, doctors, and patients — every deployment matters.

Ownership: You’ll shape how our platform is used in the field and help define our product direction.

Growth: Work cross-functionally with engineers, clinicians, and product leaders solving complex, meaningful problems.

Mission: Join a team genuinely driven to make healthcare more human, efficient, and connected.

Team: People that move the ball with you to get shit done.
