Healthcare providers go into medicine to care for people, but end up losing valuable time each day to admin work and other workplace challenges. Time that could otherwise be spent helping patients. And patients end up suffering as a result. At Commure, we build solutions that simplify providers' lives and keep them connected to their patients so they can focus on doing what matters most: providing care. 

Our innovative suite of software and hardware – augmented by advanced LLM AI, RTLS, and healthcare workflow automations – boosts efficiency across every domain of healthcare, freeing up healthcare providers to spend more of their time caring for patients. Our growing suite of technologies include staff duress alerting, asset tracking, patient elopement, revenue cycle management, clinical documentation and intake, provider copilots, patient engagement and communication, home health, remote patient monitoring, and more.

Today, we support over 250,000 clinicians across hundreds of care sites around the country. And we’re only just getting started: Healthcare’s watershed moment for AI-powered transformation is here – so join us in creating the technology to power healthcare!

About the Role

Commure + Athelas is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead the development of Air, our next-generation Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform. This platform is the operating system for our practices and serves as the foundational layer for many of our most impactful products, spanning clinical documentation, patient engagement, RCM, AI copilots, and more.

You will lead and grow a 25-person engineering org made up of multiple sub-teams, overseeing technical strategy, roadmap execution, and operational excellence for our core EHR platform. You’ll partner closely with senior leaders across Product, Design, RCM, and AI to deliver a high-impact, end-to-end experience for physicians, staff, and patients.

This is a high-leverage, high-visibility leadership role that demands a blend of strategic thinking, strong product sense, and technical depth. You’ll set the bar for execution, scalability, and quality while fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and high performance.

What You’ll Do

• Own the technical direction, people strategy, and delivery excellence for the Air Engineering org — currently ~25 engineers across multiple pods.

• Manage and grow a team of engineering leaders, providing coaching, structure, and support as they scale their teams and scope.

• Set the long-term architectural vision for the Air platform in partnership with senior engineers and architects, ensuring performance, reliability, extensibility, and security at scale.

• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Design, AI, RCM, and other stakeholders to define and deliver a cohesive roadmap aligned with customer needs and business goals.

• Drive execution excellence by establishing and continuously improving processes for execution, planning, prioritization, incident management, quality assurance, and feedback loops.

• Mentor senior ICs and help grow a culture of strong engineering judgment, healthy technical debate, and thoughtful decision-making.

• Champion a culture of operational rigor, code quality, and respectful, in-person collaboration.

• Represent engineering at the senior leadership level, contributing to company-wide planning, headcount forecasting, and strategic trade-offs.

What You Have

Required

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical contributions across multiple complex systems.

• 5+ years of engineering management experience, including managing other managers and building high-performing orgs of 15+ engineers.

• Proven success scaling engineering organizations in high-growth environments while maintaining strong execution and culture.

• Strong architectural and systems thinking, with the ability to guide technical strategy and trade-offs for a large product surface area.

• Track record of cross-functional collaboration, especially with Product, Design, and Ops teams, to build and ship products that solve real-world problems.

• Product-oriented mindset — you care about the “why,” not just the “how,” and can balance technical depth with user and business context.

• Excellent communication and leadership presence, with the ability to influence across levels and functions.

• Deep empathy for healthcare end users and a desire to help fix the broken operational systems behind the care journey.

Preferred

• Experience working on EHRs or clinical software and familiarity with healthcare regulations (e.g. HIPAA, SOC 2).

• Background leading full-stack engineering teams across web, API, and data layers (React, Python, PostgreSQL, GraphQL/REST).

• Experience with AI-integrated product development or working closely with ML/AI teams.

If you're excited about building the future of healthcare and leading a team of engineers dedicated to making a real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you!
