Company Overview:

This organization is one of the most trusted learning platforms for doctors, operating at a scale few education companies ever reach millions of learners, petabytes of high- quality learning data, and over 500 million hours of video streamed through a system as complex and secure as leading global streaming platforms.

The biggest opportunity still lies ahead.

No one has fully transformed this scale of data into an intelligent learning brain a system that deeply understands how doctors learn, where they struggle, and what they should do next.

We are looking for a senior engineering leader who has built and scaled consumer platforms, shipped AI- driven systems into production, and now wants to define a category rather than simply operate within one.

This role sits at the intersection of product, platform, data, and AI, with a potential path to CTO within 2 years.

The company is incubated by PlugScale and backed by a global healthcare leader based in Tokyo, trusted by millions of doctors across multiple countries. Since a strategic partnership formed in 2019, the platform has scaled to address challenges comparable to leading global technology platforms.

Role Overview:

As the Senior Vice President of Engineering, based in Bangalore, you will be responsible for leading and scaling our engineering organization, driving innovation, and ensuring the delivery of high- quality, scalable, and secure solutions for our clients. You will work closely with the executive leadership team, client stakeholders, and engineering teams to define the technology strategy, architecture, and roadmap. This role has a significant impact on our clients' success by enabling them to leverage the latest technologies to achieve their business goals.
