Vera Scheunert

Lead a cross functional team across frontend, backend, and AI engineering, owning delivery and architectural direction for products serving clinicians and researchers in a vertically integrated medical AI organization.

Architect and ship AI native engineering workflows including agentic harnesses, Claude Code integrations, and custom MCP servers, freeing the team to focus on system design, value and impact outcomes, and clinical safety.

Drive hiring decisions and team composition while mentoring engineers across levels, raising the bar on technical depth, problem solving, and customer centricity.

Led a new clinician facing product from concept to launch using Next.js, GCP Python Cloud Run services, and Supabase, owning delivery and coordinating cross functional partners across product, data science, and pathology team under tight constraints.

Designed, guided, and vetted system designs across Python backend services and React/TypeScript frontends, writing code to solve ambiguous problems spanning AI integration and product infrastructure.

Drove technical roadmaps for multiple teams, anticipating infrastructure needs and scaling requirements as the platform grew, and balancing reliability investments against product delivery.

Reviewed code across 4+ products, providing feedback on style, accuracy, testability, and efficiency to raise the bar on engineering quality.

Managed engineers across multiple teams and technical domains in a complex, matrixed structure, setting clear priorities, providing direct feedback, and developing career growth paths.

Drove full stack architecture decisions across React/TypeScript frontends and Python backend services for AI powered medical imaging workflows used in clinical research.

Raised reliability and quality of clinician facing systems: established testing practices (Jest, RTL, Pytest) reaching ~80% coverage and adopted across the organization.

Optimized PostgreSQL queries and CI/CD pipelines (Docker, GCP), reducing build times by 40% and improving backend reliability at scale.

Engineered distributed systems including GraphQL APIs, gRPC integrations, and observability (Sentry, Grafana) across microservices.

Introduced automated E2E testing (Playwright) and founded a tech debt guild, scaling engineering quality across teams.

Built and shipped full stack features (React, TypeScript, Node.js) for a large scale banking product serving 300K+ end users, collaborating across distributed cross functional teams in a matrixed organization.

Introduced Playwright as the primary E2E testing framework across multiple teams, raising reliability and code quality at scale.

Founded and led the company wide Junior Committee, building cross departmental mentoring initiatives and developing junior engineering talent.

Delivered full stack features across React, Node.js/NestJS, and WebRTC in a fast paced startup, owning customer facing functionality from design through production.

Architected distributed real time systems (WebSocket, WebRTC, CQRS) and built scripting systems enabling custom logic across microservice components.
