Head of Engineering, UAE

About the Company

At Sully.ai, we are building the most impactful healthcare company on Earth. We believe that access to a great doctor is a basic human right. Today, that is not a reality. Delays, misdiagnoses, administrative chaos, and burnout plague the system.

Our Mission: One Human, One Doctor. We build AI teammates that augment clinicians — scribes, nurses, receptionists, translators — all powered by our own world-class models and deployed in real-world care.

We are hiring a Head of Engineering to own and scale Sully.ai’s core product efforts in the UAE, with full responsibility for architecture, execution, reliability, and performance across region-specific healthcare workflows, integrations, and regulatory requirements.

Why Join Sully.ai?

We are revolutionizing the antiquated $800B+ Healthcare market. 50%+ of us are ex-founders. We hire A-players, not passengers. Speed matters - we operate with urgency, autonomy, and ownership. You’ll work on real, first-of-their-kind problems at the edge of AI and medicine. Your work helps doctors reclaim their time - and patients get better, faster care.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end engineering execution for your domain, from architecture and roadmap through delivery and reliability. Drive step-function latency reductions, targeting at least 50 percent improvements across note generation and decision-support workflows where applicable. Design and operate robust observability, metrics, and model-selection systems to ensure consistent performance at scale. Lead domain-specific execution rituals including daily and weekly standups, backlog ownership in Linear, and tight cross-functional coordination. Translate product goals into clear dependencies, timelines, and deliverables to keep teams unblocked and shipping. Operationalize continuous quality evaluation pipelines to improve accuracy, completeness, and reliability of outputs. Set and enforce engineering best practices across your stack, including code quality, reviews, on-call standards, and operational rigor. Take full ownership of the assigned engineering domain. Ensure end-to-end observability and alerting for core workflows. Define the domain's key performance, reliability, and quality metrics. Identify and ship at least one high-impact improvement. Establish execution cadence, priorities, and quality standards.

Requirements

Founder-level ownership mindset. Senior, hands-on engineering ability. Experience in high-intensity environments such as YC-backed startups, early-stage companies, or zero-to-one teams where speed and judgment matter. Comfort with ambiguity. Bias toward leverage and simplicity.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with FHIR/HL7 or EHR systems. Background in real-time or near-real-time streaming, diarization, or structured-output pipelines. Experience supporting front-end or extension-based integrations (web, mobile, browser extension).
