VP of Engineering - Impact Care

Job Announcement:

Founding VP of Engineering

Amid clinical workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs and ongoing concerns about inequity, IMPaCT unlocks the power of the grassroots community health workforce.

Here at IMPaCT Care (https://impactcarehq.com/), we get out of bed every day to remake the American health workforce. We find, train and enable Community Health Workers: caring people who keep their communities healthy. We have built the largest and most scientifically-proven Community Health Worker platform in the country, used across 20 states by 50 organizations like Kaiser Permanente, the Veterans Affairs Administration and United Way. Across multiple randomized controlled trials (https://impactcarehq.com/published-research/) IMPaCT has achieved outcomes frequently believed to be out of reach, including $2,500 annual savings per patient, improved mental health and a Net Promoter Score of 94. We're making waves: on CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/10/opinions/community-health-workers-opinion-kangovi-gee-blumenthal/index.html), in WaPo (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/03/community-health-workers-are-essential-this-crisis-we-need-more-them/), at the Fed (https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/events/regional_outreach/2023/0623-2023)…there is even a new Medicare billing code (https://www.cms.gov/medicare/payment/fee-schedules/physician) for Community Health Workers that is modeled after IMPaCT.

We're changing the game, but also know the importance of enjoying the journey. That's why we have made sure that IMPaCT Care is the place to be! We provide competitive compensation and equity grants, comprehensive benefits and plenty of opportunities for team-building and fun. Plus you get to work from home.

Who you are:

You are a hungry, hands-on technical leader who is excited about powering a growing tech-enabled healthcare services startup. You want to leave your fingerprints on how we build, not just what we build. You're excited to set the engineering culture and technical standards from the ground up. You are the ultimate scale-shifter: hands on coding at one moment, and leading company tech strategy the next. You are excited to oversee an on/offshore team who builds and maintains the IMPaCT software application: the secret ingredient to CHW magic at scale. You have successfully navigated the thorny process of EHR integration. You have a strong security mindset. You know where the AI puck is going and can leverage it to create transformative efficiencies.

What you'll do:

• Inherit a capable team of 10 engineers and solid foundation, then raise the ceiling by driving both technical quality and team growth as we scale.
• Define our engineering hiring bar, onboarding approach, and technical culture as we grow. You're not just filling a seat on the org chart; you're helping write the playbook.
