Requirements
  • You've grown an engineering organisation: 10+ direct reports, real headcount growth, real process ownership with a passion for staying hands on and close to the code because you love it.
  • You've built production AI/ML systems: agentic pipelines, LLM inference, real-time natural language processing or speech.
  • You've done Seed to Series A+ at least once: you know what scaling engineering from 5 to 30+ actually looks like.
  • You still write code: player-coach, not meetings-coach.
  • Ambiguity is your operating system: incomplete direction to clear technical plan, to shipped product; no hand-holding needed.
  • Healthcare, clinical AI, or voice/speech AI background is a strong signal
Responsibilities
  • End-to-end engineering execution: architecture, roadmap, delivery, reliability
  • Drive function performance improvements: targeting 50%+ latency cuts across AI inference workflows
  • Observability, alerting, and model-selection systems that give you real signal at scale
  • The execution cadence your team needs to stay unblocked: OKRs, standups, backlog ownership, cross-functional alignment
  • Quality pipelines: for accuracy, completeness, and reliability of every AI output
  • Engineering bar across the stack: code quality, reviews, on-call, operational rigor
  • Full ownership of your engineering domain in the first 90 days: no ramp needed
  • End-to-end observability and alerting for core workflows
  • Define your domain's key performance, reliability, and quality metrics
  • Ship at least one high-impact improvement
  • Establish the execution cadence and quality bar your team runs on

Sully.ai builds a system of autonomous AI agents that handle hospital operations by running in the background to automate daily workflows. Its team of agents—resembling roles such as receptionists, medical consultants, triage nurses, scribes, and coders—collaborates to complete tasks across the hospital, effectively replacing a large amount of manual labor. The product works by coordinating these agents to execute end-to-end workflows, from patient intake and triage to documentation and coding, across departments. Unlike other tools that focus on a single function, Sully.ai provides an integrated set of autonomous agents that work together to manage the entire hospital operation. The goal is to reduce the roughly $800B of labor currently spent on manual hospital work by enabling health systems to run more efficiently with AI-driven automation.
