Compensation — Recommended Market Range

For a Software Engineering Manager in Miami, current market data puts average base salary around $148,500, although senior positions can move substantially higher.

For comparison, current remote Healthcare/HealthTech roles show:

• HealthEquity: approximately $127K–$165.5K base, plus incentive, RSUs, medical/dental/vision, PTO and 401(k) match.
• Synapse Health: approximately $165.6K–$205K base, with health insurance, 401(k) match and PTO.
• HealthEdge: approximately $187K–$202K base for a remote Engineering Manager in healthcare technology.
• Ensemble Health Partners: approximately $150K–$220K for a remote Senior Manager, Software Engineering.

Levels.fyi currently places median total compensation for Software Engineering Managers in Miami at approximately $187K, although this includes bonus/equity and varies significantly by company.

Recommended range for this search

For a solid Healthcare company looking for a strong Engineering Manager rather than a Director-level profile, I would recommend publishing:

• Annual performance bonus: 10–20%
• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k), ideally with company match
• PTO: ideally 20+ days or flexible PTO
• Life and disability insurance
• Remote-work flexibility

That would put expected cash compensation around $176K–$228K, depending on base and bonus.

For a particularly strong profile with Healthcare + Cloud + Architecture + People Management, I would allow flexibility up to approximately $200K base.

Why Join

• Lead engineering in a technology-driven Healthcare environment.
• Influence architecture, engineering standards, and product evolution.
• Build and develop high-performing engineering teams.
• Work remotely while remaining connected to the Miami / South Florida technology ecosystem.
• Participate in technology initiatives with meaningful impact on healthcare operations and user experience.
• Join an organization where engineering leadership has direct visibility and influence.
