Director Of Technical Program Management Jobs for OPT Students

Who we are: Founded in 2016, K Health's mission is to deliver accessible, high-quality healthcare at scale. As a leading clinical AI company in primary care, K Health has developed a suite of clinical AI agents that enhance provider efficiency and improve patient outcomes. K Health's virtual primary care platform is enhanced by an AI copilot to complete the initial patient intake, summarizing relevant history from the EMR, and generating “the perfect note” to reduce the time providers spend on basic data collection and non-clinical tasks. Unlike other virtual medicine companies, K Health delivers comprehensive, longitudinal primary care in a virtual setting, enabling our clinicians to be true primary care providers without sacrificing scope of practice or continuity of care. As a venture-backed startup trusted with nearly $400 million in funding and a $900 million valuation as of July 2024, K Health is well-positioned for sustained future growth. We are expanding our partnerships with major health systems (Cedars-Sinai, Hackensack Meridian Health, Hartford HealthCare), enhancing accessibility and quality of care by pairing people with technology. Our providers are credentialed at these renowned academic health systems and adhere to their clinical guidelines, ensuring patient-first, evidence-based care. Fully integrated into Epic, our AI platform enables K Health to operate as an extension of existing healthcare systems, benefiting from a built-in network of specialists and social services to seamlessly serve patients within those communities. Our unique care delivery model enables our providers to deliver the same high-quality, accessible care to a mixed-payer population, including those with commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Join us in our mission to deliver smarter, simpler healthcare of the future - today!

About the role We are seeking an engineering leader who will drive K's AI-driven core Provider and Ops platform into the future of Primary Care. This critical role sits at the intersection of deep integrations and cutting-edge Generative AI, focusing on creating intelligent automation that radically simplifies complex workflows. You will own the technical strategy, development, and execution of a mission-critical product portfolio, designing transformative AI co-pilots and ambient automation solutions that fundamentally improve provider efficiency and ultimately elevate patient care, all while enabling deep integrations with foundational EMR systems like Epic.

• Oversee the creation and successful embedding of ambient AI capabilities and deep automations within core Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, specifically Epic.
• Lead the development of agentic voice and text based AI systems designed to autonomously execute complex operational and administrative workflows, leveraging technologies such as Google ADT, LangFuse, LangGraph, and LangChain, and orchestrating a hybrid model stack that includes OpenAI and Google Gemini alongside self-hosted and fine-tuned smaller LLMs like Gemma and Llama.
• Ensure robust, compliant, and deep integration strategies with EMR platforms (e.g., Epic) to deliver seamless and reliable experiences for both providers and patients. This includes a combination of HL7, Smart on FHIR, Open FHIR APIs and proprietary Epic APIs where relevant.
• Foster a culture of technical excellence, focusing on highly scalable architecture, security, and velocity to deliver transformative results.

• 3+ years of experience in Engineering Management, successfully leading and scaling high-performing teams.
• 7+ years of experience in hands-on Software Engineering roles, preferably with experience building complex, distributed systems.
• Strong architectural, design, and security acumen, ideally within the highly regulated landscape of healthcare or a healthcare-adjacent field.
• Proven ability to evaluate and synthesize multiple architectural approaches to stitch together integrated solutions that are performant, compliant, scalable, and highly reliable.
• Deep experience building, evolving, and operating distributed microservices architectures in TypeScript and Kotlin, including API design, service orchestration, and production-grade observability and resilience.
• Exceptional ability to lead complex discussions across diverse technical and non-technical, internal and external audiences to achieve common goals.
• Demonstrated expertise in communicating highly complex ideas and influencing stakeholders to achieve optimal business and technical outcomes.
