About Abridge

Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI-powered platform was purpose-built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients.

Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we are setting the industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care make more sense. We have offices located in the Mission District in San Francisco, the SoHo neighborhood of New York, and East Liberty in Pittsburgh.

The Role

Abridge’s services and engineering teams are in hyperscale mode, and multiplying rapidly with our customer base and new product launches. We are looking for a seasoned leader who can harness this growth across cloud infrastructure, site reliability, developer platform, and cloud security. You’ll lead and build an extremely fast growing organization, iteratively scope and execute a developer platform, and be responsible for core direct-to-customer infrastructure experiencing extraordinary growth and scaling challenges.

This is a rapidly expanding role that sits at the intersection of AI, platform, security, and healthcare.

What You’ll Do

• Visionary leadership: Scope, resource, evangelize, and execute developer platform and cloud infrastructure solutions across environments and clouds, real-time streaming infrastructure under immense scale, compute as well as AI -at-edge infrastructure, and the most ambitious cloud security roadmap in the entire tech industry. Collaborate with department heads across product engineering, security, product management, commercial, and more to develop, align, and execute an extremely ambitious strategic roadmap.

• Gifted tactician: We have an extremely diverse set of challenges all happening at the same time. We don’t expect you to code, but we expect you to be able to work at the level of small tiger teams to unblock, enable, and drive execution and solutioning.. You’ll need to be creative on multiple dimensions and juggle several ambiguous and tricky problems at a time, at any given time.

• Recruiter extraordinaire: You’ll have all the resources you need at your disposal to scale out your team to meet this roadmap - both ICs and managers. You’ll need to be able to attract top talent and hire quickly while maintaining a consistently high bar. You’ll iterate on the hiring process along with other leaders, improve diversity and equity, retain and maximize the effectiveness of an extremely senior team, and make strategic bets on the people that will take us to the next level.

• Mentor to the mentors : The engineering team you’ll be managing, and all the teams you’ll be partnering with, are quite senior-heavy. You’ll be working to develop their careers, create top-of-ladder development opportunities, and continuously raise the bar for your staff as well as your peers and leaders in their abilities and awareness. You’ll need to earn their trust, lead by example, be a doctor rather than a judge for organizational and people challenges, and help establish and maintain a hivemind de-siloed culture across all engineering pods.

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years as a manager in rapidly growing organizations including at least 1 year as a manager of managers.

• Seeking an extremely challenging role that will push you beyond your limits, where failures are inevitable and not to be feared.

• Seeking a senior leadership role to develop people, environments, and impact - not ego, accolades, or ladder climbing.

• Able to ask for help, fail fast and admit defeat; get yourself and others out of their comfort zone.

• Track record of working across developer platform (internal customers), cloud infrastructure (external customers), site reliability, and application reliability. Some background with full-stack development.

• Experience running production workloads in more than one cloud provider (at a time, or across your experience).

• Experience managing workloads across containerized solutions, Kubernetes, and CNCF-approved tooling such as Argo, istio, OTel, and more.

• Thought leader in platform building, with a strong desire to represent Abridge as a platform building leader in the tech industry.

• Genuine passion for Abridge’s mission to improve healthcare in America and across the world.
