This role is for someone who wants to own a piece of something meaningful, not someone looking for a monthly pay cheque. If you are comfortable building on equity and believe in the mission of transforming healthcare access across Africa, we want to hear from you.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The Vice President of Engineering is a full-time, remote, sweat-equity leadership role responsible for overseeing the end-to-end engineering function at CareNesu Healthcare. This role leads distributed engineering teams, defines technical strategy, and ensures the delivery of secure, scalable, and reliable digital health products powered by NesuMind AI.
Day-to-day responsibilities include setting engineering standards, managing execution across multiple projects, partnering with product and design on roadmap planning, and driving continuous improvement in development, testing, and deployment practices.
The Vice President of Engineering will collaborate closely with executive leadership, including the Founder & CEO, who currently holds the CTO function to align technology initiatives with business goals, uphold security and compliance requirements, and foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and inclusive teamwork.
This role also involves mentoring engineering leaders, managing vendor and partner relationships, and supporting long-term platform architecture and infrastructure decisions.
While listed as full-time in commitment level, this role begins as a sweat-equity arrangement. Transition to a formal salaried position with benefits will occur upon the company closing seed funding.
