Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output.

Ensure your team operates effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment while maintaining high standards for reliability and quality. WHAT YOU’LL BRING - 3+ years of engineering management experience in rapidly growing organizations. - Experience leading and growing teams of engineers, including hiring and performance management. - Strong execution mindset with the ability to scope work, prioritize effectively, and deliver results. - Comfortable working hands-on with technical systems, including architecture and design discussions. - Experience working across platform domains such as cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and CI/CD systems. - Familiarity with production systems in public cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or similar). - Experience with containerized environments, Kubernetes, and modern infrastructure tooling (e.g., ArgoCD, Istio, Atmos). - Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools and workflows to improve team productivity, development velocity, and operational efficiency. - Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams and functions, including security as a key partner. - Passion for building high-performing teams and delivering impactful infrastructure. - Genuine passion for Abridge’s mission to improve healthcare in America and across the world.
