Healthcare Tech: 10 roles with comp, work setup, and what you’d actually build

Healthcare tech is brutally real. When you ship, it matters. This week’s list includes 10 healthcare-focused roles across engineering, sales engineering, implementation, and leadership, with compensation and work setup included so you can self-select quickly.

Who this is for

This post is for you if you’re:

• An engineer, sales engineer, implementation lead, or GTM professional who wants work tied to real-world healthcare outcomes

• Comfortable operating in environments where accuracy, trust, privacy, and reliability matter

• Able to show proof of execution (shipped product, closed deals, successful implementations, or systems you owned)

• Clear about your constraints: location, work authorization, and work setup preference (remote/hybrid/on-site)

How to express interest

Email us with:

• The role number(s) you want (example: “1, 4, 9”)

• Your resume (PDF preferred)

• Your LinkedIn

• Your location + work authorization

• Optional but helpful: a one-liner on your healthcare exposure (EHRs, payers, claims, provider operations, HIPAA environments, etc.)

What teams are screening for right now

Healthcare teams are filtering for people who can ship without breaking trust:

• Execution under constraints: you can move fast without creating compliance, privacy, or reliability problems.

• Proof of ownership: you’ve owned a system, a deal, or an implementation end-to-end.

• Reliability mindset: you think about failure modes, edge cases, monitoring, and operational realities.

• Communication: you can explain tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Domain comfort (nice-to-have, not always required): familiarity with healthcare workflows (providers, payers, claims, clinical documentation) helps, but strong builders can ramp fast.
