Job description

BUILDING HEALTHCARE THAT REMEMBERS

Every time you call a doctor's office, the system forgets you the moment you hang up. You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this. No one should have to.

At Assort Health, we're building one continuous conversation for every patient. An AI agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, and carries that context from your first symptom to your full recovery. What began as the first voice AI agent to schedule a specialty appointment has become the largest proprietary specialty dataset in healthcare: 345 million patient interactions, 62,000 care protocols, 1.6 million decision pathways.

We went from 15 people in 2025 and will cross 250 by the end of 2026. Revenue is up 20x in 15 months and we've raised $222 million, including a recent $120 million Series C https://www.assorthealth.com/blog/assort-health-raises-120-million-series-c-to-scale-largest-deployment-of-ai-agents-for-the-patient-journey at a $1.2 billion valuation from investors including Menlo Ventures and Lightspeed. We've also been named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 as the only healthcare AI company on the list!

Healthcare spends $1.1 trillion a year on administration instead of care.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Engineering Manager at Assort Health, you'll lead a team building AI-powered products that help patients access the healthcare they need — from our patient-facing voice AI agents to the platforms and workflows that power them.

You’ll build a high-performing team, set technical direction, and help great engineers execute. We expect you to be technical and hands-on when it matters: leading architecture reviews, debugging incidents alongside the team, and setting the bar for how the team uses AI coding tools to ship faster.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• - Lead a high performing team of engineers, including hiring and coaching.
• - Work closely with our world-class engineering team to develop features and products from the ground up.
• - Enjoy a high degree of autonomy, tasked with solving complex problems in innovative ways.
• - Drive design and architecture discussions, contributing fresh ideas and perspectives.
• - Engage with healthcare professionals to tailor software solutions that meet real-world needs.
• - Play a role in an agile team, prioritizing rapid development and deployment to meet our ambitious goals.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• - 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in an engineering manager role.
• - A track record of building and leading high-performing engineering teams in fast-moving environments.
• - Strong engineering fundamentals and a demonstrated ability to design, build, and scale production-grade applications or systems.
• - Strong systems-thinking: you balance technical scalability, time-to-market, and user value under uncertainty.
• - Willingness to wear multiple hats — from design and development to testing and occasional support. Comfortable with rapid iteration, experimentation, and learning from failure in a fast-paced environment. Passion for Assort’s mission of improving patient access through innovative technology.

BENEFITS & PERKS FOR ASSORTIES

• - Competitive Compensation – Including salary and employee stock options so you share in our success.
• - Lifelong Learning – Annual budget for professional development, plus training opportunities to help you grow.
• - Office Setup Stipend – We’ll outfit your in-office workspace so comfy as it's productive.
• - Top-Tier Health Coverage – Medical, dental, and vision insurance, because your health comes first.
• - Flexible PTO – We trust you to take the time you need to recharge and come back ready to crush it.
• - Meals & Snacks – Lunch, dinner, and snack breaks that fuel great ideas.
• - Fitness Stipend – Your wellness matters. We reimburse monthly membership costs to support your health.
