Company DescriptionWelcome to the good side of tech
You might have heard about us, but with a different name: Doctoralia. It all started more than 10 years ago, when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and we empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visit. We then provided doctors with the technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could devote themselves to what they always wanted: treating patients. Now Docplanner is creating a healthcare ecosystem that seamlessly connects patients with doctors while integrating smart tools to provide quicker, more precise diagnoses and treatments. And today is the day in which we ask you: wanna join us in the next step of helping people live longer, healthier lives?
Docplanner at scale
We are leaders in 13 countries so far, and more than 50 million patients trust us every month. 300,000+ specialists, 2+ mln bookings per month believe in us and our product, and so do leading venture capital funds such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and One Peak Partners. And yet, employing over 2,500 people all over the globe, we managed to keep the startup‐mindset we started with over 10 years ago.
How does Docplanner Tech fit here?
At Docplanner Tech we are a diverse group of over 300 people working in Engineering, Data, and Product teams. We are responsible for building the product for all locations. Many of us have been here for over 5 years, yet we still welcome each new person with great joy and excitement.
We could tell you about us, but we will let our reviews on Glassdoor speak for themselves. In case you'd like to see how it feels to be 100% yourself at work, here's a video of us.
And why should you join us?Because it feels good to tell your family and your friends how you made the world a little bit better. You go to bed knowing that what you do matters, and that your talents align with your beliefs.
We want to help people live longer, healthier lives, and that starts with you being you. We believe that taking the diversity of human experience into account makes a better healthcare experience for all. We're not just different: we embrace diversity. We will encourage you to come to work your whole self, and that includes not coming to the office at all if you prefer not to, as we're 100% remote friendly.
Job DescriptionDocplanner is fostering the reinvention of product development, specifically transforming how we approach coding with AI. We are looking for an Engineering Director who will lead this transformation from the front lines, while owning the Patient Engagement area.
This isn't a traditional management role. It's designed for a leader who remains deeply hands‐on in the code and pioneers AI‐enabled development practices, with the role intentionally weighted toward Lead Through Code (≈75%) and Drive Transformation & Technical Leadership (≈25%).
You will be a driver of our AI‐powered product development transformation, working directly with code, teams, and the wider Engineering community to fundamentally reimagine how we build patient‐facing software. This role is for someone who thrives on being deeply technical while driving organizational change through example, influence, and results, as we reinvent the very nature of coding itself.
The scope is meaningful: Patient Engagement initiatives that directly impact how people interact with their healthcare, focusing on engagement, retention, and continuity of care. These aren't just features; they're tools that help real people better manage their health.
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
Your teams operate in a new AI‐enabled development paradigm, with measurably faster delivery and higher quality
You've established unified AI‐enabled development workflows that are being adopted beyond your direct area
Patient Engagement teams are delivering tangible improvements in engagement, retention, and continuity
Team engagement is demonstrably higher, with clear, measurable improvements in development velocity, quality, and impact
You are recognized as a trusted technical partner in shaping how AI‐enabled development works in practice
But the real indicator of success? Other teams start knocking on your door. They want to understand your workflows, adopt your practices, and replicate your results — not in theory, but in ways that actually ship better user experiences, faster.
What You'll DoLead Through Code (≈75% hands‐on)
Solve real patient engagement and continuity challenges through hands‐on coding, using cutting‐edge AI development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to demonstrate new possibilities
Prototype and build solutions that showcase AI‐enabled development practices in patient‐facing products
Work directly in your teams' codebases, not just reviewing, but implementing features and architectural changes
Experiment with and establish AI‐powered development workflows, then teach others through direct, hands‐on demonstration
Drive Transformation & Technical Leadership (≈25%)
Pioneer new AI‐enabled development cycles and practices within the Patient Engagement area, then scale successful approaches across engineering
Influence developers and the wider Engineering community through results and partnership, enabling teams to adapt to AI‐enabled ways of working and better leverage their skills
Partner closely with Product and Design to solve real patient problems end to end
Measure and communicate the impact of new approaches using concrete metrics (delivery speed, quality, developer satisfaction, product impact)
QualificationsIn a sentence: someone who can code the future while being passionate about delivering real impact to users (patients in this case) and inspiring others to follow.
You bring solid hands‐on experience using AI to accelerate software development, improving how code is written, reviewed, and refactored, with strong judgment on when to rely on AI versus traditional approaches.
You've been in the trenches of complex software delivery, including regulated environments where quality and reliability matter
People naturally follow your technical lead because you consistently deliver results and raise the bar for those around you
You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy being the first to try something new, figure out what works, and help others navigate the same path
You genuinely enjoy teaching and mentoring, whether through pairing, retrospectives, or helping others level up
You measure what matters and iterate relentlessly, focused on building software that is faster, better, and more impactful
Bonus points if you've worked at scale, but we care more about how you think, the impact you drive, and your focus on meaningful user outcomes than the size of your previous company.
