Technical Lead, Patient Experience

What you'll do

• Lead the technical direction for our mobile development strategy and patient-facing apps, shaping how tens of thousands of patients experience Pomelo
• Rapidly prototype and ship features in our patient mobile and web apps alongside design and product, using AI tools to move fast and test ideas that meaningfully improve engagement and retention
• Help steer product direction for how we support and retain patients in their critical first month with Pomelo, when the window to affect outcomes is widest
• Talk directly to patients and partner with product, design, and clinical teams to turn real needs into real features
• Mentor and grow junior engineers, raising the bar for the whole team
• Set the technical standards, architecture patterns, and development practices that our patient-facing products are built on

Problems You'll Dig Into

• How do we get patients proactively engaged in their own care?
• How do we personalize the patient experience to specific needs and interests while meaningfully moving outcomes?
• How do we build habits so that patients check in with us first when problems come up during their pregnancy?
• How do we keep patients engaged without always requiring direct clinical intervention?
