Who We Are :

We are a remote team that improves online medical education and teaches healthcare professionals domestically and abroad how to save lives.

Our Mission is to provide free advanced healthcare education to underserved populations in the US and around the world.

Our Goal is to empower 10 million people by 2025.

Our Values :

• Dedication to “CANI” culture : Constant and Never-Ending Improvement mentality.
• Positive Focus / Resourceful / Gritty / Perseverance : A self-starter who isn’t held back by a lack of direction or detailed instruction.
• Impeccable Ball Handling Skills : Responsibility, Accountability, Ownership.
• Unwavering Integrity : We Always do the Right Thing.

Who we’re looking for :

We seek an executive-level technology leader who is visionary, strategic, and passionate about innovation - without needing to be hands-on in coding. As a CTO / Head of Engineering , you will guide our tech and product strategy, ensuring alignment with business goals and fostering a culture of growth and servant leadership. This is a hybrid role combining strategic leadership with hands-on involvement. Approximately 25–30% of the time will be dedicated to implementation and debugging, while the remaining focus will be on system architecture, technical direction, and guiding internal teams. Work directly with external vendors and partners to align on expectations and drive outcomes—this role does not involve formal vendor management but requires effective collaboration to ensure delivery meets our standards.

Why this role is unique :

We are transitioning from in-house backend development to a third-party tech provider to enhance scalability, security, and performance while reducing bugs and maintenance overhead. This is a strategic shift that allows us to focus on front-end improvements, marketing experiments, and product innovation. We need a leader excited about this transformation - someone who can refine product strategy, guide teams, and drive innovation rather than push for in-house backend development.
