The Engineering Manager leads a high-performing, remote-first product development team building and scaling technology that supports substance use disorder (SUD) care delivery. In this role, you will manage a team of software engineers, driving engineering excellence while collaborating closely with product management, clinical operations, and vendor partners. You will own delivery outcomes, foster a strong team culture, and help shape the technical direction of our healthcare platform.

The ideal candidate is a servant leader who thrives in fast-paced health-tech environments, has a track record of delivering quality software on time, and can balance hands-on engagement with strategic thinking. You will serve in collaborative partnership with your Product team counterparts as the bridge between engineering execution and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring that your team is aligned, supported, and set up to succeed.

Essential Functions:

Responsibilities:

• Team Management:
• Lead, mentor, and manage a remote team of software engineers, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to team members, supporting their career growth and skill development; collaborate on individual development plans, provide regular feedback, and conduct performance reviews.
• Recruit, onboard, and develop engineering talent, including evaluating and managing engineers engaged through outsourced or nearshore/offshore partnerships.
• Foster an inclusive, supportive, and high-performing team culture built on psychological safety and trust.
• Development Process Ownership:
• Facilitate all scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily standups, backlog grooming, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Partner with the Product team members to refine and prioritize the team backlog, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and roadmap commitments.
• Remove blockers and support the team in maintaining a sustainable pace of work; track and report team metrics (e.g., velocity, burndown) to stakeholders.
• Delivery & Execution:
• Own end-to-end delivery of engineering commitments, collaborating with the team to set achievable sprint goals and deliver high-quality software on time.
• Monitor delivery health and quality metrics; proactively identify and address blockers, risks, and dependencies.
• Balance technical debt remediation with product feature delivery, making pragmatic prioritization decisions in collaboration with product and engineering leadership.
• Ensure software is developed to meet security, compliance, and regulatory standards applicable to healthcare technology environments (e.g., HIPAA).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
• Partner closely with Product Management to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and ensure roadmap alignment.
• Collaborate with data, clinical, and operations teams to support platform integrations, data pipeline needs, and clinical workflow technology.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for vendor and outsourcing partners, managing relationships, expectations, and delivery accountability.
• Communicate engineering status, risks, and decisions clearly to executive and non-technical stakeholders.
• Technical Leadership:
• Maintain sufficient technical fluency to support technical decision-making and participate meaningfully in architecture discussions and code reviews.
• Ensure alignment with architectural principles, coding standards, and best practices across the team.
• Encourage and facilitate pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing to raise the collective technical bar.
• Support the evaluation and adoption of new tools and development practices that improve team productivity and product quality.
• Oversee engineering contributions to data platform initiatives, including ETL pipelines, third-party integrations, and data infrastructure improvements.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.

Other Duties and Responsibilities:
