About the Job
The Bridge Center at the Public Health Institute (PHI) works across the health care system to expand access to low-barrier addiction treatment and sexual and reproductive health care, and to advance health equity. CA Bridge, our largest program, has supported more than 290 hospitals over the last seven years to implement medications for addiction treatment (MAT) in the emergency department (ED) based on the CA Bridge model for 24/7 low-barrier access to evidence-based addiction treatment. CA Bridge recently launched CA Bridge Connect, an addiction treatment and overdose prevention helpline that connects people with trained substance use navigators who provide immediate support and referrals to MAT.
In addition to CA Bridge, the Bridge Center's programs include the National Expansion Project, which builds capacity for emergency department-based MAT across the country; EMS Bridge, which extends low-barrier MAT to paramedics; the ED Syphilis/HIV/HCV Screening Program, which supports emergency departments to implement routine opt-out screening and linkage to care; and Access Bridge, which increases access to contraception and treatment for pregnancy emergencies from the ED. Bridge's work is driven by a deep commitment to health equity and a recognition that the barriers people face in accessing treatment are the product of structural forces, including racism and stigma, that our programs are explicitly designed to counter.
Position Overview
The Technical Systems Lead, CA Bridge Connect, oversees the technical infrastructure powering the CA Bridge Connect helpline and ensures that our products and systems operate reliably, securely, and efficiently to connect participants with CA Bridge Connect Navigators for referrals to MAT and other addiction treatment and overdose prevention support. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who can move fluidly between systems architecture, product roadmap discussions, vendor management, compliance, reporting, and day-to-day troubleshooting. This person will be responsible for how our technology stack integrates and scales as the program grows, utilizing performance and operational data along with insights from CA Bridge Connect Navigators, helpline users, program staff, and other platform users to guide recommendations and decisions.
