Engineering Tech Lead

The healthcare industry overspends on its supply chain by over $25B each year, the result of fragmented data, inefficient workflows, and wasted supplies. Clarium is fixing that. Our AI-powered platform, Astra OS, gives hospitals end-to-end visibility into their supply chain operations, automating workflows and surfacing actionable insights so supply chain teams can focus on what matters most: patient care. We're trusted by some of the world's leading health systems, including Yale New Haven Health, Stanford, Geisinger, and Kaiser Permanente.

Founded in 2020, Clarium has raised $43M in total funding. Our Series A was led by Northzone, with participation from General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.

Clarium is scaling Astra OS across more of the country's leading health systems, and the technical decisions we make today shape how well that scaling goes. We're looking for a Tech Lead to raise the bar on architecture, code quality, and technical execution across the team — someone who leads through influence and hands-on craftsmanship rather than formal management.

In this role, you'll be the technical backbone of your team: driving system design, setting engineering standards, and unblocking your teammates on the hardest problems — all while staying deep in the code yourself. You'll partner closely with the Director of Engineering and Product counterparts to make sure technical decisions serve both the immediate roadmap and the long-term health of the codebase.

This role is ideal for someone who wants maximum technical scope and influence without taking on people management — someone who leads by example, mentors through code review and pairing, and is energized by solving the hardest engineering problems on the team.

In This Role You Will

• Drive system design, architecture, and technical direction for your team's projects

• Write production code and set the technical bar through hands-on contribution, not just review

• Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance — without formal management responsibility

• Partner with Product to translate roadmap priorities into sound technical plans

• Identify and resolve technical risk, tech debt, and cross-team dependencies before they become blockers

• Establish and evolve engineering best practices, standards, and tooling across the team

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, including experience leading technical direction on a team

• Deep hands-on experience with our core stack: Python, React, and TypeScript, including shipping production code

• A track record of making sound architecture and system design decisions in a fast-moving environment

• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team through example and code review

• Strong collaborator who can align technical decisions with product and business goals

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to explain technical tradeoffs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

• Experience in healthcare, supply chain, or another complex regulated domain

• Experience scaling systems or engineering practices in an early-stage startup environment

• Need to Know: Python · React · TypeScript

• Nice to Know: AWS · SQL · Data pipeline / ETL workflows
