Job Description

Why Clipboard Health Exists:

We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. We dramatically improve lives, by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time and ambition into career growth and financial opportunity. We achieve this with our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals, allowing healthcare professionals to book on-demand shifts and healthcare facilities to access on-demand talent. Our mission is to enable healthcare professionals to work when and where they want, and to enable healthcare facilities to meet their talent needs.

About Clipboard Health:

Clipboard Health is a post-Series C, extremely fast-growing tech startup with classic two-sided network effects, revolutionizing the market for healthcare talent. We are a diverse and inclusive company with a global, remote team. We’ve been featured on YC’s Top Companies and grown 20x+ since January 2021. There has never been a more exciting time to join our growing team and help us serve even more healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities, who can then better serve patients. To learn more about working at Clipboard Health, take a look at our Careers page and how we work.

We are a globally distributed team with folks from the United States, Canada, Chile, Mongolia, Turkey, India, Madagascar, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia… and more. Our values center around customer centricity, urgency, curiosity, and ownership. We are all empowered to fix the problems we see, there are no “toes” to be stepped on. A team went off and created a new SaaS product, another team rewrote a core service under a new architecture. We believe in our collective mission and do what it takes to move the needle on that goal.

  • You will be responsible for your team’s process, delivery, and execution. Ensuring that the team can work optimally and with high quality.
  • You will partner with product managers, and our customers, to create your team’s roadmap.
  • You will be a core member of your team, setting pace and leading by example through the contributions you make.

  • Hold retrospectives to reflect on team execution and derive actionable insights.
  • Document and scrutinize Project Plans, ensuring structured delivery of customer value.

  • Manage operational excellence, including monitoring, alerts, and on-call rotations.
  • Balance product development with technical debt, ensuring high-quality technical investments.
  • Every individual at Clipboard Health has an impact on the business. As a Team Lead, we will look to you for input on streamlining our engineering processes, helping craft our goals, and raising the bar for the technical teams at the company. At Clipboard Health we say “We don’t have any toes to step on”. If you see a problem, you fix it.
  • We give constant feedback and highly value transparency. You’ll have a lot of conversations in open forums, and as a curious team that values “first-principles thinking”, you can expect questions and feedback on these conversations.

  • A deep appreciation for customers and the ability to navigate ambiguous customer problems and translate them into actionable solutions.
  • Excellent writing and communication skills.
  • Able to break down problems and solutions into their component parts and explain each component to fellow engineers and non-technical stakeholders rather than relying on reasoning by proxy or relying on best practices

  • Ability to work equally well with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why Clipboard Health?

  • 100% remote, flexible working hours.
  • Unlimited PTO
