Director, Engineering - Clinical Products

Overview

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 FFR CT 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 (RoadMapAnalysis), assess coronary blood flow (FFR CT 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 400,000 patients worldwide.

The Director, Engineering - Clinical Products will lead the engineering teams building sophisticated cloud applications supporting HeartFlow FFRct, Roadmap, Plaque, and other new products. These tools empower clinicians with advanced insights, data, and visualizations derived from CCTA images through intuitive and interactive user experiences.

This role is responsible for leading through engineering managers, scaling high-performing teams, and driving both the strategic direction and operational execution of our clinical products.
