Engineering Manager

What you'll do:

• Architect and implement backend services that interface with Postgres and Databricks to support business verticals, ensuring scale, reliability, and maintainability. Write production-grade code and lead by example.
• Design and oversee data adapters to integrate with external imaging facilities, payers, and TPAs, adhering to health data standards (FHIR/HL7, DICOM)
• Conduct rigorous code reviews, set coding standards, and foster engineering best practices to ensure high-quality, secure, and compliant codebases.
• Design systems for reliability and graceful degradation as we scale from thousands to millions of orders. Extend considerations of fault-tolerance, error reporting, and load and stress testing to existing and new services. Establish recovery strategies and observability standards.
• Write clear engineering documentation that outlines architecture choices, technical milestones, and steps required to achieve epic/feature/service goals.
• Mentor backend and full-stack engineers, sharing tools and approaches to improve problem-solving. While mentorship is expected, the majority of your time will be spent coding and architecting systems.
• Partner with Product to translate business goals into efficient, value-driven technical solutions. Ensure tradeoffs are explicit and that the solution is optimized for the problem, pushing back on instances of incorrect scoping of a solution as needed providing the relevant evidence.
• Collaborate with DevOps to embed CI/CD, observability, security, and cost-transparency into every service.

About you:

• B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent industry experience.
• 8+ years of backend engineering experience with production level software development and architectural responsibilities.
• Strong expertise in Python, TypeScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL.
• Proven ability to design fault-tolerant, high-availability distributed systems and contribute hands-on in codebases.
• Hands-on experience with healthcare data standards (FHIR, HL7, DICOM) and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC-II).
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers without direct management responsibilities.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
