Platform Director (100% Remote-friendly, Spain)

TLDR

Lead the global platform team through a major architectural shift, modernizing technology and embracing AI-native engineering to enhance healthcare delivery across multiple countries.

We're building the infrastructure that helps doctors and patients across 8 countries connect, communicate, and deliver better healthcare. 90M+ sessions a month. Marketplace, SaaS, apps, AI products. All of it running on a platform you'll own.

We're looking for someone who's done this before. At scale. And wants to do it again, better.

What this is

This is not a maintenance role. We're in the middle of a major architectural shift: modernizing our stack, consolidating legacy systems, going AI-native across engineering, and scaling a platform that needs to support a product that's changing fast. You'll lead the global platform team and set the technical direction for how we build, deploy, and operate everything.

Why this is a rare opportunity

AI-native engineering is not a feature we're adding. It's the foundation we're building. Platform is where that either works or doesn't. The person who figures out how to make a large engineering organization dramatically more productive through AI tooling, agents, and infrastructure is solving a problem nobody has fully solved yet. You'd be doing it here, at a real scale, with real stakes.

We're also genuinely committed to simplicity. There's a growing backlash against complexity for its own sake, and we're part of it. We believe simplicity is a strategy, not a compromise. We're open to bold ideas. Running on our own hardware instead of renting AWS forever, or going all-in on cloud-native. A well-crafted monorepo instead of a distributed mess. Radical simplicity over architectural fashion.

And the domain matters. We're helping people live longer and healthier lives. Decisions here affect patient outcomes and doctor productivity across 8 countries. If you're bored of ad-tech or fintech, this is different.

Why now

Our foundations are being rebuilt. AI is being woven into how we develop, not just what we ship. The person who leads Platform right now will shape how this company operates for the next decade.

If you've solved these problems at a larger scale and want to apply that to a company with real mission and real momentum, we'd love to meet you.

What we're looking for

You've led platform engineering at a high-traffic scale (100M+ sessions, multi-region, cloud-native). You know what good looks like in distributed systems, microservices, and developer experience. You've taken teams through major architectural transitions without losing speed or burning people out.

You're genuinely excited about AI, not as a buzzword but as infrastructure. You've shipped AI/ML in production and you understand what it takes to do it safely and at scale.

You set the bar on reliability. 99.9%+ uptime isn't a target you chase, it's a floor you defend.

You've built developer platforms that made engineers dramatically more productive. You think about internal tooling, CI/CD, observability, and standards as products in their own right.

You're a partner to product and experience teams, not a bottleneck. You understand that this platform exists to make everyone else faster.

You've attracted, developed, and retained exceptional engineering talent. You know that the team you build is the product.

You've operated across multiple regions and markets. You understand the complexity of compliance, data residency, and localization at scale.
