Engineering Tech Lead

About Clarium

Clarium is addressing the $25B annual overspend in the healthcare supply chain caused by fragmented data, inefficient workflows, and wasted supplies. Our AI-powered platform, Astra OS, provides hospitals with end-to-end visibility into their supply chain operations, automating workflows and delivering actionable insights so teams can focus on patient care. Trusted by leading health systems like Yale New Haven Health, Stanford, Geisinger, and Kaiser Permanente, Clarium was founded in 2020 and has raised $43M in funding, with a Series A led by Northzone and participation from General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.

About the Role

As Clarium scales Astra OS across top health systems, the technical decisions made today will shape our success. We’re seeking a Tech Lead to elevate architecture, code quality, and technical execution—someone who leads through influence and hands-on craftsmanship rather than formal management. In this role, you’ll serve as the technical backbone of your team, driving system design, setting engineering standards, and unblocking teammates on the hardest problems while staying deeply involved in the code. You’ll collaborate closely with the Director of Engineering and Product partners to ensure technical decisions align with both immediate roadmap goals and long-term codebase health. This role is ideal for someone who wants maximum technical scope and influence without people management responsibilities, leading by example, mentoring through code review and pairing, and tackling the team’s most challenging engineering problems.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, supply chain, or another complex regulated domain
• Experience scaling systems or engineering practices in an early-stage startup environment

Skills & Tools

Need to Know: Python, React, TypeScript

Nice to Know: AWS, SQL, Data pipeline / ETL workflows

Benefits

• Fully remote, with a NYC co-working space available; distributed team across multiple time zones with opportunities for in-person time
• Unlimited PTO
• Top-tier health, vision, and dental benefits
• 401K
• The opportunity to build on a strong foundational team with deep data and engineering roots at a stage where your work genuinely shapes the product
• A fast-paced, high-growth environment where we move quickly to solve critical healthcare challenges
• The chance to empower frontline healthcare workers by automating administrative friction
• Collaborative work alongside a high-caliber team of clinicians, engineers, and revenue leaders
• A commitment to diversity, actively seeking out voices and backgrounds underrepresented in healthtech
• A culture built on camaraderie, direct feedback, and celebrating collective wins
