Head of Engineering managing integrations and data platform for AI - driven fintech healthcare startup. Leading high - velocity engineering teams and shaping long - term strategies while reporting to the CTO.
About the role
- Engineering Manager leading a team building core systems for Pivotal Health's AI-driven healthcare reimbursement platform. Balancing technical depth with leadership to shape solutions and development process.
Responsibilities
- Lead as a player–coach: Contribute code, perform design reviews and PRs, and guide technical strategy and decisions while supporting the growth and effectiveness of the team.
- Partner deeply with Product: Collaborate closely with Product to gather requirements, clarify scope, and translate product vision into executable technical plans. Help shape solutions early rather than reacting late.
- Drive execution and delivery: Own the engineering side of delivery by guiding sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and prioritization — ensuring the team is constantly shipping and learning from each cycle.
- Translate ambiguity into clarity: Take loosely defined problems and help the team break them down into clear, achievable work with well-understood tradeoffs and success criteria.
- Provide technical direction: Make pragmatic system design and architectural decisions that balance speed, quality, and scalability.
- Build lightweight process and rituals: Establish and evolve team workflows (planning, estimation, retros, incident follow-ups) that improve focus and predictability without unnecessary ceremony.
- Support and grow engineers: Coach engineers on execution, communication, and ownership, helping develop careers both on the IC and Managerial tracks.
- Model strong engineering culture: Set the tone for empathy, accountability, and collaborative problem-solving across engineering and cross-functional partners.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in STEM preferred (additional experience in lieu of a degree is also accepted)
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including recent hands-on backend work
- 2+ years of experience managing and developing Engineers
- Experience working in product-driven environments with close Product partnership
- Comfortable gathering requirements, asking clarifying questions, and shaping solutions collaboratively
- Experience leading teams through agile delivery practices (planning, standups, retros)
- Strong technical judgment with a bias toward pragmatic, shippable solutions
- Able to balance near-term delivery with longer-term technical health
- Clear communicator who builds trust across Engineering, Product, and Design
- Thrives in early-stage or scaling environments where structure is evolving
