At Hinge Health, we’re transforming how 20+ million people access musculoskeletal care through AI-powered, human-centered solutions - and our R&D organization is the engine behind that innovation.
We’re looking for a Technical Program Builder to join the Office of the CTO and architect the R&D operational engine. This is a unique “builder” TPM role where you won’t just manage processes. You will design and implement the systems, tooling, and AI agents that automate them.
You’ll leverage AI, automation, and smart infrastructure to eliminate manual coordination, reduce operational drag, and enable teams to move faster with clarity and precision. If you have seen program management at complex organizations first hand and found yourself thinking “this meeting could be automated” or “we shouldn’t need a human to track this,” you’ll thrive here.
This role is about building scalable execution infrastructure - not status reporting. You will act as a force multiplier for engineering teams, creating systems that streamline cross-pod coordination and ensure our internal operations are as innovative as the care we deliver to our members.
Audit & Identify: Assess R&D operational processes and identify high-impact opportunities for AI-driven automation and tooling improvements. Create a clean system of processes across R&D.
Build Relationships: Establish trust with R&D leadership and pod leads, understanding their pain points and operational bottlenecks.
Quick Wins: Deploy initial automated agents or scripts to streamline the most repetitive R&D workflows.
Launch AI-Driven Infrastructure: Architect and deploy the R&D knowledge base and Internal Developer Portal optimized for both human and AI retrieval.
Standardize Operations: Design and roll out standardized operational processes across R&D, championing "AI-native ways of working."
Drive Planning Excellence: Lead one full quarterly OKR cycle, establishing a "single source of truth" for the R&D roadmap.
Scale Systems: Build low-code integrations (Jira/Linear, Slack, GSuite) that automate metrics collection and surface project health/velocity in real-time.
Transform Execution: Own the end-to-end R&D planning cycle, reducing planning overhead by 30% through automation while improving forecast accuracy.
Establish Innovation Culture: Identify and implement AI/ML opportunities that become operational standards, acting as a force multiplier for R&D leadership.
A Builder at Heart: You don't just ask for a tracker; you build the tool that generates it. You are comfortable writing scripts, configuring AI agents, and using technical skills to solve operational problems directly.
A Strategic Orchestrator: You excel at "Leading at all Levels," navigating the complexity of cross-pod coordination to align diverse stakeholders on planning and OKRs without losing sight of the big picture. You are a direct communicator, can get clear answers, and know how to motivate teams with a sense of urgency.
A Resilient Problem Solver: You thrive in fast-paced environments and embody our "Hustle" value. When gaps appear—whether in personnel or process—you step in to bridge them, ensuring the team never misses a beat.
3+ years of experience in technical program management, product operations, or a related engineering role
Demonstrated experience building custom AI agents or utilizing LLM APIs to drive productivity and automation
Proven track record of managing comprehensive planning cycles and OKR processes for technical teams
Experience with modern project management ecosystems (e.g., Jira, Linear) and documentation platforms (e.g., Notion, Confluence)
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex process changes to diverse audiences
Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience
Strong understanding of Developer Experience (DX) metrics and how to influence them
Background in software engineering or data analysis
Certification in Agile or Project Management (PMP, CSM)
Experience working in a high-growth technology environment
Experience working in Health Tech and familiarity with healthcare regulations
We believe that remote work and in-person work have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we want to be able to leverage the best of both worlds. Employees in hybrid roles are required to be in the office 3 days per week, for the full 8 hours of a typical business day. The San Francisco office has a dog-friendly workplace program.
At Hinge Health, we’re using technology to scale and automate the delivery of healthcare, starting with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which affect over 1.7 billion people worldwide. Our AI-powered, human-centered care model spans MSK, pelvic health, gastrointestinal (GI) and migraine care.

The company is headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in Montreal and Bangalore. Learn more at hingehealth.com.
Inclusive healthcare and benefits: On top of comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, we offer employees and their family members help with gender-affirming care, tools for family and fertility planning, and travel reimbursements if healthcare isn’t available where you live.
Planning for the future: Start saving for the future with our traditional or Roth 401k retirement plan options which include a 2% company match.
Modern life stipends: Manage your own learning and development.
Grow with us: Grow with us through discounted company stock through our ESPP with easy payroll deductions.

The job is in San Francisco, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How San Francisco compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, San Francisco is #4 by population, #139 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #20 for remote work (#1 = most), #25 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, San Francisco County, is #3 of 58 counties for average pay ($174,103).
San Francisco has 830,235 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 2.1% of the population of California. It covers 47 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 17,784 people per square mile. The median age is 40.0, 6% older than the state median (40.0 against 37.9).
The median gross rent is $2,476 a month (rent plus utilities), 22% above the state median ($2,476 against $2,036). Over a year that is 21.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $1,394,500, which is 9.9 times the median household income ($140,970); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 38.2% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (38.2% against 55.9%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan area has 2,373,920 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $74,260 a year, 46% above the national median ($74,260 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (226,320 jobs, median $62,120); management (223,100 jobs, median $176,340); business and financial operations (207,030 jobs, median $112,960). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.8 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($176,340) and computer and mathematical ($167,770). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of San Francisco County was 4.0%. 69.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in San Francisco County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 28.6% drive alone, 18.7% use public transit, 9.3% walk, 31.0% work from home. 21.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 11% above the state average (21.6% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
60.3% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 63% above the state share (60.3% against 37.1%). 34.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 26% above the state share (34.0% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 11.2%, 7% below the state rate (11.2% against 12.0%).
The warmest month is Sep, averaging 59°F (14.9°C), and the coolest is Apr at 53°F (11.6°C). About 515 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (112 mm) and Jul the driest (2 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Daly City (31 miles, rent 3% higher); Pacifica (31 miles, rent 25% higher); San Bruno (34 miles, rent 12% higher); Millbrae (36 miles, rent 32% higher). Rent differences are against San Francisco; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
