Engineering Manager - Agentic AI

About the role

Heartflow is a medical technology company advancing the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease, the #1 cause of death worldwide, using cutting-edge technology. The flagship product—an AI-driven, non-invasive cardiac test supported by the ACC/AHA Chest Pain Guidelines called the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis—provides a color-coded, 3D model of a patient’s coronary arteries indicating the impact blockages have on blood flow to the heart. Heartflow is the first AI-driven non-invasive integrated heart care solution across the CCTA pathway that helps clinicians identify stenoses in the coronary arteries (RoadMap™Analysis), assess coronary blood flow (FFRCT Analysis), and characterize and quantify coronary atherosclerosis (Plaque Analysis). Our pipeline of products is growing and so is our team; join us in helping to revolutionize precision heartcare.

Heartflow is a publicly traded company (HTFL) that has received international recognition for exceptional strides in healthcare innovation, is supported by medical societies around the world, cleared for use in the US, UK, Europe, Japan and Canada, and has been used for more than 750,000 patients worldwide.

About the role

To accelerate this mission, we are seeking an Engineering Manager to build and lead our new Agentic AI initiatives team.

This is a unique "player-coach" opportunity. You will start in a deeply hands-on capacity - acting as the lead architect and foundational engineer to set up the core ecosystem that allows autonomous, intelligent agents to execute multi-step medical reasoning securely and at scale. As the foundation is laid and the product gains momentum, your role will transition into a full Engineering Manager capacity. You will be responsible for scaling a world-class team of engineers, guiding their execution, and shaping the long-term technical strategy of the platform.

You will have a true blank-canvas opportunity to design production-grade agentic systems from scratch, directly translating our decade-plus of clinical AI success into the next generation of autonomous medical technology.

Job Responsibilities

- Initial Hands-On Execution: Design, architect, and write code for a robust, secure, and scalable Agentic AI platform, establishing standard patterns for multi-agent orchestration, state management, tool usage, and memory.

- Team Building & Leadership: Transition from an individual contributor/architect role into a dedicated management role as the team scales.

- Technical Strategy: Drive the technical execution of brand-new, agent-driven product features from initial ideation to production deployment. Build systems to parse requirements, map software modules, and auto-generate test cases.

- Safety & Compliance: Implement advanced guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and reasoning validation loops to ensure agent behaviors are safe, deterministic, highly accurate, and meet the compliance rigor required for FDA-cleared software.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, clinical experts, and data scientists to translate clinical needs into technical AI agent architectures and viable product roadmaps.
