About the role

• Engineering Manager leading a team of engineers in a healthtech company simplifying healthcare access. Driving technical strategy and fostering a collaborative engineering culture with a focus on impactful solutions.

Responsibilities

• Leadership in the trenches - lead a team of high-performing engineers by staying close to the code. You should be able to conduct rigorous design reviews and provide technical guidance that actually moves the needle.
• Bias for action - move past “flagging” problems. When a project stalls, you investigate the root cause - whether it’s a technical debt issue, a logic gap, or process friction - and do what it takes to drive towards the solution.
• Technical strategy - balance immediate delivery with long-term scalability, helping the team navigate trade-offs while maintaining a relentless pace.
• Mentorship through execution - grow your team by showing, not just telling. Lead by example, maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, and operational excellence.
• Cross-functional navigation - partner with product, design, and data teams to ensure technical feasibility and to push back (or lean in) based on what’s best for the product’s health.

Requirements

• Technically rooted - you have a strong foundational background in software engineering (5+ years) and have spent at least 2+ years leading teams in fast-paced environments.
• “In the weeds” mindset - you find joy in the details. You’re the type of manager who looks at a trace or log to understand a failure before asking an IC to handle it.
• High agency - you don’t wait for permission to fix things. You have a proven track record of taking messy, ambiguous situations and driving them to a successful conclusion.
• Low ego, high standards - you don’t care who gets the credit, but you care immensely about the quality of the output.

Benefits

• Medical / dental / vision / 401(k) package that fits your needs
• Generous Vacation Policy - 15 days of paid vacation in the first year, then increases to 20 days after one year
• 11 paid holidays
• Work out of our HQ in beautiful downtown Redwood City
