About the company

Our client is a fast-growing healthcare technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Act as the technical lead for customer implementations, working directly with client stakeholders from early demonstrations through go-live and beyond. The work blends software development, solution design and executive-level communication, with plenty of room for independent judgment.

What you'll do

- Take charge of large client projects across their full lifecycle, from initial demos and discovery to build, integration, rollout and support.

- Design and develop production software that connects to complex client systems while respecting privacy and regulatory obligations.

- Facilitate working sessions and present recommendations to senior leaders at client organizations.

- Decide on architecture and tooling on your own, frequently as the sole engineer present, defining integration scope and resolving issues as they arise.

- Bring insights from client work back to the product organization and create reusable building blocks that make later rollouts faster.

- Travel to clients for roughly 10-15% of your time.


Requirements

What we're looking for

- About 5 to 15 years of hands-on engineering, including running real production systems from design through operation rather than only prototypes.

- Skill at planning complete system designs and communicating them through clear diagrams.

- Background in healthcare or life sciences, ideally touching insurance, patient-facing services, clinical workflows or regulatory compliance.

- A record of leading technical work for external customers across the sales process, scoping and implementation.

- Experience delivering customer-facing software in a solutions engineering, solutions architecture, consulting or similar engineering role.

- Strong command of Python and TypeScript, plus cloud platform experience.

- Experience building data pipelines and machine learning workflows.

- Polished communication and presence with executives as well as technical and non-technical audiences.

- A founder-style mindset: high ownership, accountability for significant client outcomes and comfort making calls under pressure.

Bonus points

- Time spent in an early-stage or high-growth startup engineering environment, or as a founder or technical lead.

- Hands-on work with LLM-powered applications or AI agents.

- Formal machine learning or data science exposure on healthcare projects.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
