We’re building technology that helps clinicians deliver better substance use disorder (SUD) care, and we’re looking for a SW Engineering Manager to lead a remote, high-performing product development team. In this role, you’ll own delivery outcomes, guide technical direction, and shape the culture of a team shipping software that directly impacts patient care.

You’ll be the bridge between SW engineering execution and cross-functional partners in Product, Clinical Operations, Data, and Vendors, ensuring your team is aligned, supported, and set up for sustainable success in a fast-paced health-tech environment.

This position is fully remote, however, for this role, we are prioritizing candidates who align with the Eastern time zone (EDT/EST) for consistent overlap and availability with our core clinical and operational teams.

• Drive Agile delivery: run sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retros; keep backlog healthy and cadence predictable.
• Own end-to-end delivery of engineering commitments, balancing feature delivery with technical debt and quality.
• Partner with Product to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and align work with roadmap and clinical/business priorities.
• Monitor team metrics (velocity, burndown, quality), remove blockers, and proactively manage risks and dependencies.
• Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews, upholding best practices, security, and compliance (including HIPAA).
• Collaborate with data, clinical, and operations teams on integrations, data pipelines, and workflow technology.
• Manage vendor and outsourced engineering relationships, setting expectations and ensuring accountability for delivery.

Qualifications

What you bring

• 4+ years as an Engineering Manager leading Agile, remote software teams.
• 5–10 years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally with full-stack web development (Ruby on Rails / React), cloud (Azure or AWS), APIs, and relational databases.
• Proven track record of delivering complex software products on time while maintaining high code quality and system reliability.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to translate technical concepts for executives, clinical stakeholders, and vendor partners.
• Experience working with distributed, nearshore/offshore, or vendor-supported engineering teams.
• Leadership style grounded in servant leadership, coaching, and building inclusive, high-trust team cultures.
• Experience in healthcare, health-tech, a bonus, or other regulated industries (e.g., finance, insurance).
• Familiarity with EMR/EHR integrations, clinical workflow tools, or healthcare data standards preferred. 
• Exposure to data platform engineering, ETL pipelines, or data infrastructure.

• Work setup & requirementsRemote-first role: you work from your chosen EST zone based location with reliable internet (minimum 10M download / 5M upload and strong WiFi signal).
• Must meet applicable state and role-specific background requirements (which may include fingerprinting, drug testing, health screening, and license/credential verification as required).
• Reasonable accommodations available to support individuals with disabilities in performing essential functions.
