Job Description
About Us
At Sully.ai http://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 enable our customers to staff 30% of their workforce with AI by creating a shared agent architecture for scale and efficiency. All powered by our own patented, 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 http://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.
Nice-to-have:
- 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.
