Zaya Care is a venture-backed startup on a mission to establish a new standard of preventive and restorative health. Zaya changes that by giving practices the infrastructure to focus on care while we handle everything else, building toward a world where preventive and restorative care is coordinated, measurable, and accessible. At Zaya, our team is action-oriented, egoless, and highly communicative, with a deep commitment to our mission and our customers.

As the Engineering Lead at Zaya, you will own the company’s codebase and technical infrastructure. You’ll be accountable for the architecture, quality, reliability, and long-term maintainability of the systems our practices depend on every day. This is a hands-on engineering role.

You’ll write code, make core architectural and technical decisions, and review the work of other engineers. You’ll lead the engineering team and establish the standards and development practices that allow the team to move quickly without compromising the quality of the system. You’ll work closely with company leadership and partners across product, RCM, operations, sales, and customer support to translate business and product requirements into technical systems that can scale.

You’ll own technical execution from design through production, including delivery timelines, system reliability, and the technical tradeoffs required along the way. We expect the Engineering Lead to have robust technical judgment, to understand the systems they own in depth, and to use modern engineering tools—including AI-assisted development tools—where they materially improve engineering velocity and quality. Own the long-term technical vision and roadmap, setting technical direction, evolving the architecture, and making the tradeoffs needed to balance near-term delivery with scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability as the company grows Set the standard for how Engineering operates, establishing strong engineering practices, processes,



and technical standards that enable the team to move quickly while maintaining quality and reliability Run delivery end to end, breaking down scope, setting realistic timelines, and keeping projects on schedule Stay hands-on in the codebase, writing and reviewing code Partner with product, RCM, operations, sales, and support to turn business needs into technical plans 6+ years building software, including 2+ years leading or managing engineers ~ You design and build systems end to end, from React/Next.js to backend services, APIs, databases, and integrations, and still take pride in shipping production code.

You have hands-on DevOps experience, including CI/CD, deployments, monitoring, and production operations. Production AWS and healthcare-grade security: Hands-on experience architecting, securing, and operating production systems on AWS (VPC, ECS/EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch). You build secure, scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure and own production reliability - monitoring, incident response, DR/backups, and performance.

Experience running healthcare systems with PHI (HIPAA, SOC 2, encryption, access controls, audit logging) is essential. ~ People-first and AI-native: You give direct feedback, measure yourself by how much your engineers grow, and have a real point of view on where AI tooling helps and where it doesn’t. ~ You move easily between architecture, code review, and stakeholder conversations, bridging strategy and execution, and explain technical trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-technical partners alike. ~ Front-end: React, NextJs, Typescript ~ AWS Competitive salary, equity and growth opportunities Hybrid work and paid travel to NYC for company onsites Unlimited PTO and a company-wide winter holiday week Early-stage impact: join at Seed and help shape the company from the ground up They create long-term clarity, consistency, and impact.
