Job description
About Us At Sully.ai, We’re Building the Most Impactful Healthcare Company on Earth
We believe that access to a great doctor is a basic human right. Today, that’s not a reality. Delays, misdiagnoses, administrative chaos, and burnout plague the system.
Our Mission: One Human, One Doctor. We build AI teammates that augment clinicians — scribes, nurses, receptionists, translators — all powered by our own world-class models and deployed in real-world care.
About the Role
- We’re hiring a Head of Engineering to own and scale Sully.ai’s core product efforts in the UAE, with full responsibility for architecture, execution, reliability, and performance across region-specific healthcare workflows, integrations, and regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities
-
Own end-to-end engineering execution for your domain, from architecture and roadmap through delivery and reliability.
-
Drive step-function latency reductions, targeting at least 50 percent improvements across note generation and decision-support workflows where applicable.
-
Design and operate robust observability, metrics, and model-selection systems to ensure consistent performance at scale.
-
Lead domain-specific execution rituals including daily and weekly standups, backlog ownership in Linear, and tight cross-functional coordination.
-
Translate product goals into clear dependencies, timelines, and deliverables to keep teams unblocked and shipping.
-
Operationalize continuous quality evaluation pipelines to improve accuracy, completeness, and reliability of outputs.
-
Set and enforce engineering best practices across your stack, including code quality, reviews, on-call standards, and operational rigor.
Hard Requirements
-
Founder-level ownership mindset. You operate like the business depends on your decisions and execution.
-
Senior, hands-on engineering ability. You actively design systems, write and review production code, and set the technical bar by example.
-
Experience in high-intensity environments such as YC-backed startups, early-stage companies, or zero-to-one teams where speed and judgment matter.
-
Comfort with ambiguity. You turn incomplete product direction into clear technical plans and ship without heavy process.
-
Bias toward leverage and simplicity. You choose durable solutions and know when to optimize versus when to ship.
-
Experience with FHIR/HL7 or EHR systems.
-
Background in real-time or near-real-time streaming, diarization, or structured-output pipelines.
-
Experience supporting front-end or extension-based integrations (web, mobile, browser extension).
Key Results (First 90 Days)
-
Take full ownership of the assigned engineering domain.
-
Ensure end-to-end observability and alerting for core workflows.
-
Define the domain's key performance, reliability, and quality metrics.
-
Identify and ship at least one high-impact improvement.
-
Establish execution cadence, priorities, and quality standards.
