Head of Engineering
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 11, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 8, 2026.
You want the decisions you make to matter, and in healthcare they do. You're ready to set the direction for an engineering team, bring in new ways of working, and prove they work with results. You see AI as a chance to rethink how engineering gets done, not a feature to add on.
About Evaro
Evaro is a fully licensed and regulated healthcare platform that combines AI-assisted consultations with clinical oversight from qualified healthcare professionals. We provide instant medical access, diagnosis, and next-day prescription delivery for a wide range of primary care conditions, making quality healthcare faster and more accessible for everyone.
Why engineering at Evaro
We're aiming to reach 1 million patients a month by 2030, and that takes a step change in reliability, security and speed. The way we get there is by evolving how engineering works and using the best technologies available. It's a real challenge: the core platform, regulated and non-regulated work that each need their own level of rigour, and a team spread across Europe. But everything you decide will matter to a patient, and you'll have the room to change things.
About the role
You'll lead around 20 engineers, employees and contractors, working remotely across Europe. Your job is to make that team far more effective, with AI at the centre: choosing the tools, measuring performance, dropping what doesn't work, and getting agents doing real work safely. You'll own security, reliable delivery and the architecture, reporting to our Chief Patient Experience Officer, and work as a peer to our Head of Product. You'll be in our Norwich office at least three days a week, which will bring great overall, and engineering leadership presence here.
Requirements
Essential
You are a hands-on engineering leader, with the technical confidence and competence needed to deliver
You lead engineering teams through other leaders, and you build the trust that makes honest, direct conversations easy, including with senior people

You've led a team into AI-driven development, and you can show what changed and what you learned

You take ownership of security and reliability, and you put the right safeguards in place before anything goes wrong
You're technically credible: you can review an architecture with confidence and explain the trade-offs to people outside engineering
You're based in Norwich, or able to be, and excited to be in the office three days a week
Desired
Experience in a regulated sector such as healthcare, finance or insurance
Leading dispersed, international teams and working well with contractors
