About Equip

Equip is the leading virtual, evidence-based eating disorder treatment program on a mission to ensure that everyone with an eating disorder can access treatment that works. Created by clinical experts in the field and people with lived experience, Equip builds upon evidence-based treatments to empower individuals to reach lasting recovery. All Equip patients receive a dedicated care team, including a therapist, dietitian, physician, and peer and family mentor. The company operates in all 50 states and is partnered with most major health insurance plans. Learn more about our strong outcomes and treatment approach at www.equip.health.

Founded in 2019, Equip has been a fully virtual company since its inception and is proud of the highly-engaged, passionate, and diverse Equisters that have created Equip’s culture. Recognized by Time as one of the most influential companies of 2023, along with awards from Linkedin and Lattice, we are grateful to Equipsters for building a sustainable treatment program that has served thousands of patients and families.

About the Role
As a Tech Lead/Engineering Manager at Equip, you'll create and lead a new engineering team, focusing on culture, product development, and team empowerment. The role blends technical leadership with management responsibilities, suitable for those with a hands-on engineering background.

We want Leads/Engineering Managers who have a track record as engineers and want to continue growing as a technical leader focusing on people and product. Your job is to empower each engineer on the team to do the best work of their career to date. Each Lead/Engineering Manager is going to customize the role a bit — contributing a blend of technical, people, and product experience.

As one of the early managers in a fast-growing company, you’re setting culture not just for engineering but for Equip as a whole. You, along with the rest of Equip leadership and people teams, are responsible for building a diverse, inclusive, and hard-working organization. We are excited to work on this together!

Responsibilities

• Designing and planning application engineering projects.
• Providing hands-on technical guidance to your team.
• Maintaining subject matter expertise in the information systems and types of data at Equip.
• Championing engineering best practices (version control, testing, documentation, logging, continuous integration) and data quality standards.
• Monitoring key quality metrics and identifying opportunities for improvements in our pipelines and infrastructure.
• Ensuring the delivery of high-quality work within expected timelines.
• Partnering with technical stakeholders to optimize the flow of data across systems.

Qualifications

• 2-5+ years of engineering leadership experience.
• 8+ years of overall developer experience.
• Have grown and managed teams of engineers.
• Experience with the following technology stack highly preferred:
• Languages & Frameworks: Java, JavaScript, React.
• DB: PostGreSQL (or other relational databases).
• Cloud: AWS services.
• Tools: Git, Github.
• Have a strong engineering background: building business-specific systems that all other engineering teams use in a scaling company.
• Good product sense, working closely with customers.
• Must have experience building large scale applications with well-defined architectures.
• Be able to work Eastern or Central time zones. Either 9 - 5 Eastern or 8 - 4 Central.
• Experience developing products is a plus.
• A mix of scrappy startup and big company experience is a plus.
• Experience with healthcare data and/or previous experience working in healthtech is a plus.

Benefits

Time Off:

• Flex PTO policy (3-5 weeks/year recommended) + 11 paid company holidays.

Medical Benefits:

• Competitive Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and AD&D insurance.
• Equip pays for a significant percentage of benefits premiums for individuals and families.
• Maven, a company paid reproductive and family care benefit for all employees.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a company paid resource for mental health, legal services, financial support, and more!

Other Benefits

Work From Home Additional Perks:

• $50/month stipend added directly to an employee’s paycheck to cover home internet expenses.

At Equip, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) are woven into everything we do. At the heart of Equip’s mission is a relentless dedication to making sure that everyone with an eating disorder has access to care that works regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, weight, socio-economic status, and any marginalized identity.
