Full Job Description

Who we are: Nitra's mission is to build a more efficient healthcare system and the technology that makes it possible. Our goal is to provide an ecosystem of fintech and software solutions that help doctors better manage their practices, so they can have time back to focus on what matters to them most.

We operate with urgency, intensity, and ambition. The bar is high because the opportunity is massive. We expect excellence, ownership, and intellectual rigor from every team member. We move fast, make bold decisions, and hold ourselves accountable to results. At the same time, we believe great companies are built on trust and respect. Every voice matters. Every contribution counts. When we win, we win together.

We are scaling rapidly and on a clear trajectory toward becoming a unicorn this year — and beyond. Our growth is not accidental; it’s the result of disciplined execution, relentless focus, and a team that refuses to settle. We are building a category-defining company, and we’re looking for people who want to do the most meaningful work of their careers.

If you want comfort, this isn’t the place.

If you want impact, ownership, and the chance to help build a generational fintech company, welcome. Nitra was created by unicorn founders who have successfully scaled to thousands of customers and exited $1B+ public offerings. They are joined by an ambitious and experienced team from American Express, Citi, PayPal, Capsule, Plaid, Bloomberg, Meta, Facebook, and Mastercard. The team is backed by some of the world’s leading VCs (Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, etc.) and is supported by an expert group of advisors including the cofounders of Square and Xendit, executives from Intuit, former Governors, White House senior staffers, and a co-founder of CityMD.

Nitra maintains a hybrid work policy, with team members working from the office four days per week and Wednesdays designated as a work-from-home day.

We're looking for:

A Director of Engineering who will lead and scale Nitra's engineering organization as we build the AI-native operating system for healthcare finance and operations. This is a senior leadership role for a high-output operator who thrives in fast-moving environments, knows how to build and develop world-class engineering teams, and can bridge our US and Taipei engineering operations seamlessly.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading and scaling a distributed engineering team across the US East Coast and Taipei, fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture across time zones
Setting technical direction and engineering standards across the organization, ensuring Nitra's platform is built for scale, reliability, and speed
Partnering closely with Product and Design to define roadmap priorities and translate them into executable engineering plans
Owning end-to-end delivery of engineering projects — from architecture decisions to shipping production-grade features
Recruiting, developing, and retaining top engineering talent, with a particular focus on building depth in the Taipei engineering hub
Establishing engineering processes, sprint cadences, and communication rhythms that keep a distributed team aligned and moving fast
Working directly with executive leadership to communicate engineering capacity, risks, and technical strategy
Driving a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization

You have:

8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an engineering leadership or management role
Proven track record of building, managing, and scaling engineering teams in a high-growth, VC-backed startup environment
Full professional fluency in Mandarin — you can lead meetings, give feedback, and build relationships natively with our Taipei team
Demonstrated comfort operating across US and Taiwan time zones, with willingness to split time between the US East Coast and Taipei as needed
Deep experience with modern software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and building scalable platforms in production
Strong product instincts — you understand how engineering decisions translate into customer outcomes and business results
Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Design, and business stakeholders at a senior level
A track record of hiring and developing strong engineering talent, including building distributed and international teams
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both English and Mandarin
High standards for code quality, system reliability, and engineering craft — and the ability to hold a team to those standards without slowing it down

We offer:

Equity - Everyone at Nitra is an owner. When the company wins, you win.
Competitive Salary - You’re the best of the best, and your salary will reflect your experience and reward your contributions to Nitra.
Nitra maintains a hybrid work policy, with team members working from the office four days per week and Wednesdays designated as a work-from-home day.

The base salary range for this full-time position is $225,000 – $275,000 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please note that the compensation details listed reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.

Nitra values diversity. We are committed to equal opportunities and creating an inclusive environment for all our employees. We welcome applicants regardless of ethnicity, national origin or ancestry, gender, race, religious beliefs, disability, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, genetic information, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law.
