Quarterly in-person visits expected and financially covered.   🔍 https://emojipedia.org/magnifying-glass-tilted-left The Opportunity: We built the first version of Eliza — our AI Enquiry Handler for care providers — and she's live. In 50 pilot care homes, she's already reduced missed calls from 53% to 0%. The concept is proven. Now we need someone to really build her. We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader to own the Eliza product line from here — taking a live prototype and turning it into a category-defining AI product. You'll own the technical roadmap, build and lead a small team of product engineers, and work at the intersection of product and engineering. You'll report to the CPTO with a dotted line to the GM for product direction. There's a live product and real users, which means real learnings and real pressure to get things right. But this is still very much a founding role — the foundation is there, and almost everything else is still to be built: deeper integrations with Found, live chat, email, observability at scale, and more. You'll be shaping what Eliza becomes.   💻 What does this role involve? - Owning the technical roadmap for Eliza and our AI agen
