Immediate Opening For Staff Engineering

Job description

Digiclarity | Chennai, India (hybrid) | Full-time

We are building the system of record for dermatology in the United States, and we are looking for the founding engineering leader who will build it with us in Chennai. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who builds at the front and leads from the front: an engineer who has spent years shipping, has recently rebuilt how their team works using AI, and is ready to own a product and grow a team around it. This is not a maintenance seat or an internal-tooling seat. You will own the product our customers run their businesses on.

The opportunity

Digiclarity does revenue cycle management for 200+ dermatology practices, and we are transforming from a services company into a product company. Today our clients run their practices on third-party practice-management software. Our mission is to replace it with our own, AI-native platform. That work is underway and it is the centre of this role:

• An event-sourced claims engine becoming the system of record for the practices we serve, a ground-up rebuild of how medical claims are created, validated, submitted, and reconciled.
• A modern patient payments platform built on Stripe Connect.
• AI-native operations, where large language models and agents are a first-class part of how the product and the company run, not a feature bolted on.

You will own building this, and the team that builds it.

What you'll own

• The product roadmap and its execution. Take high-level business goals and turn them into shipped product. Decide what to build and why, not just how. Own delivery end to end.
• Hands-on building, early and often. In the early days you will architect and write code yourself. You stay close to the work as the team grows, and you set the bar by example.
• The team. Partner with talent acquisition to source, interview, and hire your core squad. Mentor engineers, raise the bar across the company, and build a culture of velocity, experimentation, and ownership.
• AI as a multiplier. Put AI into the build-test-ship loop and into the product itself. Use it to make a small team operate like a much larger one.

Who you are

• A builder who became a leader. You came up hands-on, you have led technical initiatives and a team (formally or informally), and you want more leadership and ownership now. We care about the trait, not the title or years managed.
• AI-native, for real. You have personally and recently used AI to change how your team builds: agentic workflows, AI in the development loop, internal tools you made yourself, models you put into production. You can talk concretely about what you built and what it changed.
• Scrappy. You have built without the safety net of a large, resourced organization: a startup, a founding-engineer seat, a bootstrapped team. You reach for initiative over process. You do not wait for permission or perfect requirements to start.
• Product-minded. You think in terms of customers, business value, and what to ship, not just systems and architecture.
• Driven. You are energized to build this now. Your energy is part of the job, because it sets the culture and recruits the team behind you.

What you'll bring

• Deep hands-on engineering: strong system design and real expertise in a modern stack (Python, Go, Java, or similar), with solid grasp of microservices and building customer-facing products at scale.
• Practical AI/ML in production: LLM frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar), agentic patterns, vector databases, and putting models into real products.
• Cloud-native fluency (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Nice to have, not the centre of the role: experience with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and developer platforms. Useful, but this is a product-building role, not a platform/DevOps role.
• The founder mentality: comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities, and able to explain complex technical choices to non-technical stakeholders with clarity and conviction.

Why this role

• A blank canvas. You build the product and the team the way you think it should be done.
• Real impact. What you build is the product, the thing clients use and pay for, not internal plumbing.
• Startup speed, real stability. The agility of a founding-team role, backed by a profitable, fast-growing company (ranked among the nation's fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine three years running, with more than $1B in revenue under management).

Based in Chennai, hybrid, with genuine flexibility for an exceptional candidate elsewhere in India.
