What are the responsibilities and job description for the VP of Engineering position at Simbie AI?
SIMBIE AI — VP of Engineering
NYC
There are never enough staff in a medical practice, physician or non-clinical, to handle all the work to be done — from reviewing patients’ test results, to calling patients to discuss them, to answering patient calls about scheduling and clinical questions, to calling patients to check if they’re taking meds rights. Simbie is the clinically intelligent AI voice agent that automates and expands all of this work, saving practices time and money while adding patient touchpoints that save lives, but that practices can’t afford human staff for. We're the first platform executing AI workflows requiring real clinical judgment, directly in the EHR.
We're YC-backed, distribution is proven, and we're signing customers faster than we can currently bring them live. That's the problem we need you to solve.
The Role
You'll own the full technical vision and be genuinely hands-on — architecture decisions in the morning, code review in the afternoon. You'll partner directly with a physician and a clinical operator who've already proven distribution. Not a figurehead: you build, you ship, you talk to customers.
We've done the hardest thing in healthcare: proven distribution. You bring the technical vision. Together we own the between-visit clinical data layer—and build the product that changes how medicine is practiced.

- Builder first. You sketch the MVP while the physician is still describing the workflow. Fast, demo-driven, unafraid.
- Customer-close. You feel physicians' pain directly and translate it into product. Strategy and code — both.
- Humble and collaborative. Strong conviction, no ego. You thrive partnering with a medical team that's already winning.
- Engineering team — hire and lead from scratch, set the culture
- Data strategy — build the first between-visit clinical data layer; use it to improve models over time
- EHR integrations — repeatable framework across EHRs; strategic calls on prioritization and TAM
- Technical roadmap — architecture, AI/ML strategy, infrastructure
- 7 years engineering, 3 in technical leadership; startup experience essential
- Deep AI/ML: LLMs, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, vector databases
- Python primary; React / TypeScript a plus
- EHR integrations (FHIR, HL7) and healthcare data — strongly preferred
- Shipped production AI systems; comfortable with cloud infra and MLOps
- Bonus: voice AI, multi-modal models, prior founder/founding engineer experience
- Founding team equity competitive salary
- Full ownership of technical decisions
- Hands-on build of core product to scale
- Ownership over building out and leading the technical team
- Small, high-trust team; latest AI tools and compute power
