## About the role

Clinical AI is only worth deploying if someone can demonstrate that it works. Our agents have supported millions of patient encounters, which means we’re held to a clinical standard and trust is earned from clinicians, regulators, and academic reviewers. As Head of Research, you’ll own that case.

## What they're looking for

- A track record of running research programs—not just contributing to them. You have owned scope, people, timelines, and the decision to stop
- A background in AI for health at a research lab or an equivalent setting. Work on systems like Google DeepMind's AMIE, or leading health research efforts at a major lab, is the shape we have in mind
- A public record of rigorous work: publications, evaluation studies, benchmarks, or systems other researchers use
- Fluency in clinical evaluation, including study design, what counts as evidence in medicine, and why a benchmark result is not a clinical claim
- Experience hiring and developing researchers, and building the practices a research function runs on
- Comfort in policy and regulatory conversations, and the judgment to communicate limitations clearly
