About Pair Team
At Pair Team, we’re an innovative, mission-driven company reimagining how Medicaid serves the most underserved populations. As a tech-enabled medical group, we deliver whole-person care—clinical, behavioral, and social—by partnering with organizations deeply connected to the communities we serve.
We’re building a powerful care management platform that leverages AI and automation to scale meaningful, human-centered care. Our work is driven by top talent across clinical care, technology, product, and operations—working together to improve access and outcomes for all our patients.
We’re one of the largest Enhanced Care Management providers in California and are on track to build the nation’s largest clinically integrated network supporting high-need Medicaid members. Our model has demonstrated real impact, including a 58% reduction in emergency department visits and a 29% reduction in hospital admissions.
At Pair Team, we’re not just delivering care—we’re building the future of a more equitable, community-rooted Medicaid system.

In this role, you will:
- Lead the development of end-to-end product features, with a focus on long-term scalability, performance, and impact
- Set technical direction and architectural standards across projects and pods
- Identify and solve high-leverage technical problems, balancing speed with thoughtful design
- Collaborate closely with product, design, clinical, and operations teams to deliver cohesive, patient-centered solutions
- Serve as a technical mentor and multiplier—uplifting the team’s capabilities and contributing to our engineering culture
- Drive alignment between technical execution and business goals, ensuring measurable outcomes
This is a high-impact opportunity for someone excited to blend deep technical leadership with mission-driven product work—building systems that improve access to care for underserved communities.
Who You Are
- Leadership & Influence: A recognized leader, respected for technical ability, direction-setting, and ability to navigate ambiguity. Leads cross-team initiatives and influences without authority across engineering, product, operations, and medical.
- Technical Expertise: recognized as an expert in their domain area but able to operate effectively in other domains when needed
- Execution & Ownership: Owns high-impact, cross-system projects. Drives progress across a domain and ensures delivery on both technical and business outcomes.

- Communication & Alignment: Communicates clearly across technical and non-technical audiences. Aligns stakeholders even when goals and definitions are evolving; creates clarity from chaos.
- Systems Thinking: Designs scalable solutions with a deep understanding of interconnected systems. Anticipates downstream effects and communicates complex dynamics clearly.
- Business Impact: Deeply understands business and operational goals. Connects them to day-to-day technical work, ensuring alignment and measurable outcomes.
- Player & Coach: Seamlessly shifts between strategy and execution — no problem too big or small. Equally effective leading execution (e.g., as a pod lead) or through deep technical contributions.
- Analytical & Data-Driven: Extracts and analyzes data independently. Synthesizes KPIs and qualitative insights to inform decisions and improve products.
- Growth-Oriented: Continuously seeks new challenges and growth. Acts as a multiplier for the team’s impact and helps shape the technical culture.
- Bias for Action: Delivers value iteratively, avoiding over-engineering. Breaks down complex problems into shippable steps and balances planning with execution.

- Deeply mission-aligned—motivated to build technology that serves individuals facing complex needs such as homelessness, severe mental illness, and substance use disorder
Our Values
- Lead with integrity: We keep our commitments and take responsibility for our actions. We are dependable and choose authenticity over perfection.
- Embrace challenges: We leave our egos at the door and step forward into discomfort instead of back into safety. We help each other to learn and provide feedback using candor and kindness.
- Break through walls: We go the extra mile for our patients, partners and one another, and we run toward hard things. We are resilient in our push for consistent improvement and challenge the status quo.
- Act beyond yourself: We build each other up and respect boundaries. We seek first to understand and assume positive intent.
- Care comes first: We hold ourselves to the highest standards for our patients. We are relentless in the pursuit of our mission, and ensure that we are taking care of ourselves in order to care for others.
