Director of Engineering, Backend and Product Engineering

ABOUT THE COMPANY: Redesign Health https://www.redesignhealth.com/ is a global venture and applied technology firm focused on building next-generation healthcare companies. We manage venture capital and venture buyout strategies, each powered by an AI operating system and a team of leading technologists, entrepreneurs, and investors drawn from the most consequential healthcare, AI, and software institutions in the world. Since 2018, Redesign and our portfolio companies have touched the lives of more than 15 million patients, raised over $1.5 billion from premier institutional, sovereign, and strategic investors, and built distinctive partnerships with marquee healthcare organizations and senior leaders around the world. We are headquartered in New York, with offices in Bengaluru, Los Angeles, and Riyadh. ABOUT THE TEAM: Redesign's technology practice combines a frontier applied AI lab with deep healthtech investing expertise. Members of the practice have founded companies worth more than two billion dollars and built systems that serve hundreds of millions of patients, providers, and expert users, and run inside NASA, CIA, and 90% of the Fortune 500. The practice is responsible for Redesign's technical investments, supports founders with architect-level guidance and more than a million dollars in AI and cloud credits, and builds the agentic operating system at the core of our business. Just as importantly, we help every team at Redesign use that system to become more technical, more creative, and more self-sufficient. We believe everyone is a builder, and that AI can let exceptional operators turn their expertise into software at the speed of thought. We are a team of founders and researchers, musicians and astrophysicists, caregivers and friends. We prize analytical rigor, intellectual humility, and a drive to learn, build, and teach. We have been working on language models since before they were large, but we still reinvent ourselves every day as technology changes how we work and collaborate. We believe that AI will do more good for humanity in healthcare than anywhere else. We know the most impactful member of our team will be someone we have not yet met, and we cannot wait to learn from them. ABOUT THE JOB: We're hiring a Director of Engineering to own the backend and internal platform layer between Redesign’s infrastructure and its applied AI products. This is the technology that makes our data, tools, and development patterns usable by engineers, agents, and the domain experts building software across the firm. One distinctive feature of Redesign is that every person at the company is, in some meaningful sense, a software engineer. Building for that audience is a new and special craft: the platform has to be powerful enough for senior engineers, legible enough for nontraditional builders, and structured enough for agents to use safely. You will report to a VP of Technology, and join a global technology practice built around senior individual contributors with unusually broad ownership. In this role, you will own a full technical domain between infrastructure and applied AI, and build it around agentic principles. WHAT YOU'LL DO: At Redesign, everyone builds. Experienced engineers ship more complexity than ever before, domain experts turn judgment into working systems, and agents participate in the path from idea to production. That changes what backend engineering means. The backend is the shared layer of data, access, tools, and conventions that lets many kinds of builders create safely. This role owns that layer between infrastructure and applied AI. - Build the backend platform behind Redesign’s operating system. You will own the APIs, databases, services, resource models, migrations, and access patterns that back our core AI operating system. Your job is to make the primitives behind Redesign’s work easy to discover, safe to extend, and hard to misuse, so applications, agents, and builders can consume trusted data w
