About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, coach, and grow a small (but growing) team of engineers delivering business-critical clinical, operational, and patient-facing systems
Establish clear goals and execution plans aligned with product and company priorities
Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
Provide direct feedback, mentorship, and career development for engineers at multiple levels
Level up the team: raise the technical and delivery bar through pairing, code review, and hands-on coaching, and grow engineers' fluency with modern, AI-native delivery practices
Hire thoughtfully to strengthen team capability and long-term scalability
Guide architectural decisions across backend services, workflows, integrations, internal tools, and patient-facing web and mobile experiences
Partner closely with senior engineers to ensure systems are reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable
Maintain strong technical fluency across systems built with technologies such as Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React / Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, and AWS-based infrastructure
Ensure healthy CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment practices that support incremental delivery in a regulated healthcare environment
Champion small-batch, continuous delivery—small PRs, short-lived branches, feature flags, and tight feedback loops—so the team ships safely and frequently
Drive an agentic, AI-native approach to building software: lead as a manager of agents, and coach engineers to make AI developer tools (e.g., Claude Code) a core part of how they design, build, test, and review—without compromising engineering rigor
Use DORA metrics and other delivery signals to continuously raise the team's throughput and stability
Identify technical risks early and lead mitigation strategies before they impact care delivery
Oversee development of the experiences patients rely on daily (onboarding and activation, video visits, secure messaging, photo and data journaling, device and health-data integrations) and the systems that power the care team (clinical charting, scheduling, task management, care coordination, automation, and intelligent workflow enhancements)
Drive measurable improvements in the outcomes that matter for your team—engagement, activation, retention, reliability, efficiency, and clinician experience
Ensure experiences meet a high bar for accessibility (WCAG/ADA), performance, and reliability
Ensure systems handle patient data safely and operate within HIPAA and broader healthcare regulatory requirements
Support thoughtful integration of automation and AI capabilities where appropriate, always prioritizing human oversight and patient safety
Partner closely with product, design, clinical, and operations leaders to define roadmaps and deliver measurable impact
Translate complex, evolving business and clinical requirements into clear engineering plans
Provide structure and clarity in ambiguous problem spaces
Balance speed of delivery with operational reliability and long-term platform health

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of experience managing engineering teams
Prior experience as a senior or staff-level engineer before moving into management
Leading delivery of complex production systems—whether consumer/patient-facing applications across mobile and web, or backend and workflow-heavy services
A track record of instilling strong delivery fundamentals—small-batch and continuous delivery, feature flags, testing, and operational excellence—and coaching teams to adopt them
Partnering closely with product, design, and domain experts to shape execution plans
Communicating effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Hands-on fluency with agentic, AI-native software development (e.g., Claude Code and similar tools)—you practice it yourself and can model and coach it into the team while maintaining strong engineering rigor
Experience in healthcare, clinical systems, consumer health, mobile applications, workflow tooling, AI-enabled products, or other regulated domains is a strong plus, but not required.
