Responsibilities

• Set and hold a high performance bar, delivering direct feedback, running substantive reviews, building promotion cases, and addressing underperformance early.
• Manage multiple teams with real ownership of career growth and technical development, coaching tech leads and senior engineers to operate independently.
• Own goals and roadmap execution, removing blockers, tightening feedback loops, and protecting focus across planning, iteration planning, PR review, and work-in-progress discipline.
• Champion AI-native engineering practices, including agentic coding, repo-native tooling, MCP servers, and AI-assisted review and testing.
• Serve as the engineering counterpart to product managers and designers, shaping scope, weighing technical cost against user value, and aligning discovery with delivery.
• Provide strategic technical oversight through Architecture Decision Reviews, pre-launch risk assessments, feasibility analysis, and incident retrospectives, while staying close to the code via regular PR reviews.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of management experience, including managing more than one team or managing through tech leads.
• Minimum 10 years of experience delivering software in a production environment.
• Demonstrated track record of growing engineers to the next level and addressing underperformance directly.
• Professional experience with open source programming languages.
• Hands-on familiarity with modern AI development tooling and experience driving team adoption.
• Must reside in the United States.

Nice to have

• Experience in healthcare, clinical workflows, or another regulated domain.
• Experience leading teams through a manager transition or period of structural change.
• Experience operating in a large shared codebase with clear domain ownership boundaries.

Benefits and work setup

• Base salary band of $260,000-$310,000, depending on experience and level.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage with low-to-no-cost premium options, plus employer HSA contributions.
• 401(k) retirement plan, equity incentive plan, and annual company-wide bonus opportunity of up to 15%.
• Remote-first culture with a dedicated office and co-working reimbursement options.
• Flexible vacation policy, additional summer Fridays, home office and wellness stipend, monthly internet stipend, and an annual learning and development stipend.
