Platform Director (100% Remote-friendly, Spain)

Welcome to the good side of tech 👋

You might have heard about us, but with a different name: Doctoralia. It all started more than 10 years ago, when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and we empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visit. We then provided doctors with the technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could devote themselves to what they always wanted: treating patients.Now Docplanner is creating a healthcare ecosystem that seamlessly connects patients with doctors while integrating smart tools to provide quicker, more precise diagnoses and treatments. And today is the day in which we ask you: wanna join us in the next step of helping people live longer, healthier lives?

Docplanner at scale

We are leaders in 13 countries so far, and more than 50 million patients trust us every month. 300.000+ specialists, 2+ mln bookings per month believe in us and our product, and so do leading venture capital funds such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and One Peak Partners. And yet, employing over 2.500 people all over the globe, we managed to keep the startup-mindset we started with over 10 years ago.

How does Docplanner Tech fit here?

At Docplanner Tech we are a diverse group of over 300 people working in Engineering, Data, and Product teams. We are responsible for building the product for all locations. Many of us have been here for over 5 years, yet we still welcome each new person with great joy and excitement.

We could tell you about us, but we will let our reviews on Glassdoor speak for themselves. In case you’d like to see how it feels to be 100% yourself at work, here’s a video of us. 

 

And why should you join us?

Because it feels good to tell your family and your friends how you made the world a little bit better. You go to bed knowing that what you do matters, and that your talents align with your beliefs.

We want to help people live longer, healthier lives, and that starts with you being you. We believe that taking the diversity of human experience into account makes a better healthcare experience for all . We’re not just different: we embrace diversity. We will encourage you to come to work your whole self, and that includes not coming to the office at all if you prefer not to, as we're 100% remote friendly.

We're building the infrastructure that helps doctors and patients across 8 countries connect, communicate, and deliver better healthcare. 90M+ sessions a month. Marketplace, SaaS, apps, AI products. All of it running on a platform you'll own.

We're looking for someone who's done this before. At scale. And wants to do it again, better.

What this is

This is not a maintenance role. We're in the middle of a major architectural shift: modernizing our stack, consolidating legacy systems, going AI-native across engineering, and scaling a platform that needs to support a product that's changing fast. You'll lead the global platform team and set the technical direction for how we build, deploy, and operate everything.

Why this is a rare opportunity

AI-native engineering is not a feature we're adding. It's the foundation we're building. Platform is where that either works or doesn't. The person who figures out how to make a large engineering organization dramatically more productive through AI tooling, agents, and infrastructure is solving a problem nobody has fully solved yet. You'd be doing it here, at a real scale, with real stakes.

We're also genuinely committed to simplicity. There's a growing backlash against complexity for its own sake, and we're part of it. We believe simplicity is a strategy, not a compromise. We're open to bold ideas. Running on our own hardware instead of renting AWS forever, or going all-in on cloud-native. A well-crafted monorepo instead of a distributed mess. Radical simplicity over architectural fashion.

And the domain matters. We're helping people live longer and healthier lives. Decisions here affect patient outcomes and doctor productivity across 8 countries. If you're bored of ad-tech or fintech, this is different.

Why now

Our foundations are being rebuilt. AI is being woven into how we develop, not just what we ship. The person who leads Platform right now will shape how this company operates for the next decade.

If you've solved these problems at a larger scale and want to apply that to a company with real mission and real momentum, we'd love to meet you.

What we're looking for

You've led platform engineering at a high-traffic scale (100M+ sessions, multi-region, cloud-native). You know what good looks like in distributed systems, microservices, and developer experience. You've taken teams through major architectural transitions without losing speed or burning people out.

You're genuinely excited about AI, not as a buzzword but as infrastructure. You've shipped AI/ML in production and you understand what it takes to do it safely and at scale.

You set the bar on reliability. 99.9%+ uptime isn't a target you chase, it's a floor you defend.

You've built developer platforms that made engineers dramatically more productive. You think about internal tooling, CI/CD, observability, and standards as products in their own right.

You're a partner to product and experience teams, not a bottleneck. You understand that this platform exists to make everyone else faster.

You've attracted, developed, and retained exceptional engineering talent. You know that the team you build is the product.

You've operated across multiple regions and markets. You understand the complexity of compliance, data residency, and localization at scale.
