Eng Manager

Latent • San Francisco, CA

11d

About The Position

Latent builds clinical intelligence that helps health systems run complex pharmacy operations, giving patient access to the medications they need, and helping care teams focus on serving patients. The work spans healthcare workflows, enterprise software, and applied AI. Engineers work closely with Product and customer-facing teams to understand the problem, build the solution, and own the outcome in production.

We are hiring our first Engineering Manager. You will lead a portfolio of product engineering teams, working towards accelerating medication access for patients. Each team has a clear area of ownership and an Engineering Lead. Because you are the first person in this role, you will help define what engineering management looks like at Latent rather than run an established playbook.

Your job is to help those teams work effectively. You will mentor and support Leads, hire and develop engineers, and keep teams aligned with company priorities. You will also work directly with Product and business leaders on strategy, prioritization, and execution.

Requirements

• You have experience managing multiple engineering teams, leading through experienced technical leads or other managers
• You truly care about building teams, and helping each person on the team grow their career and impact
• You have made difficult performance and organizational decisions with care and clarity
• You have partnered closely with Product and with stakeholders outside engineering to deliver business outcomes
• You have worked in a domain with complex requirements, multiple stakeholders, or significant operational constraints
• You were a staff-level (or comparably senior) engineer before moving into management, and you can still go deep on architecture and tradeoffs with senior engineers
• You communicate cogently
• You know how to add structure without adding process for its own sake

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple product engineering teams across product areas
• Coach Leads on technical direction, execution, communication, and team development
• Hire engineers and help each person improve through clear expectations and regular feedback
• Work with Product and business leaders to set directions and team priorities
• Define technical strategies and roadmaps
• Define and improve engineering management practices as the organization grows
