About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager at an exciting time. We've raised over $200m in funding to date, reached profitability, and are growing 100% year on year. We are a small, high-output team building across a complex technical surface: consumer marketplace, provider-facing scheduling tools, interoperability infrastructure, revenue cycle tooling, and AI-augmented workflows. We don't scale headcount to scale output. We scale leverage through AI-native development practices, tight feedback loops, and engineers who own outcomes rather than tickets. As Senior Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional engineering team and remain a hands-on contributor. We expect roughly 30% of your time to be spent writing code, reviewing architecture, or directly shaping technical decisions. This is not a role for someone who wants to move fully into management. It's a role for someone who finds that combination energising. You will report to our CTO and partner closely with Product, Operations, and Data to ship the systems that run our business. You are expected to be genuinely AI-native: not just comfortable with AI tooling, but actively shaping how your team uses it. That means deploying agents, building evaluation frameworks, and coaching engineers to work at a level of throughput that wasn't possible two years ago. As a scale-up business, you can expect your role to develop over time.

Requirements

• Proven experience managing and growing engineering teams in a startup environment. You have operated with limited resources, changing priorities, and a high bar for individual output, and you have thrived in that context.
• Genuine AI-native fluency: you have deployed AI agents in production engineering workflows, you understand evaluation frameworks and can design them for non-trivial tasks, and you have coached teams to use AI as a primary tool rather than a novelty. Candidates who cannot speak concretely to this will not be competitive
• Active technical contributor with strong engineering fundamentals. You write production-quality code in at least one modern backend or full-stack language, can lead a system design discussion at a senior level, and have not been out of the code for more than a year
• Strong cross-functional instincts: you have partnered effectively with Product and Operations, understand how to negotiate scope without burning relationships, and can represent technical constraints to a non-technical audience without losing fidelity
• A track record of growing engineers. ICs on your previous teams have been promoted, expanded their scope, and credited you with material development in their careers
• High ownership orientation: you do not wait to be asked, you do not manage up problems without a proposed path forward, and you treat the business outcomes of your team's work as personally yours

Nice To Haves

• Experience in a scaling healthcare technology company is a strong plus. Familiarity with the regulatory environment, interoperability constraints, and the operational complexity of healthcare delivery meaningfully shortens the ramp

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of engineers across multiple product domains, owning velocity, process, performance, technical growth, and team culture
• Remain a consistent technical contributor by writing production code, leading design reviews, and pairing with engineers on complex problems.
• Define and enforce engineering standards across code quality, system design, testing discipline, deployment practices, and incident response
• Drive the team's AI-native operating model by identifying where AI agents can replace or accelerate engineering workflows, building evaluation frameworks to measure output quality, and coaching engineers to leverage AI tooling as a primary development instrument rather than an occasional aid
• Partner with Product to refine roadmaps, push back on scope where necessary, and ensure the team is working on the highest-leverage problems at any given time
• Own the architecture of your team's systems by making build vs. buy decisions, managing technical debt deliberately, and ensuring the stack can support the growth trajectory of the business
• Contribute to Scan.com's broader engineering culture through interview loops, cross-team design reviews, engineering all-hands, and the institutional knowledge that makes a small team punch above its weight

Benefits

• Salary range of $180,000 - $240,000
• Flexible remote or hybrid work options
• Dedicated personal development budget
• Medical, vision, and dental coverage
• 28+ days of paid time off across PTO and wellbeing days, so you can show up at your best
• Paid parental leave
• 401k retirement plan
• All the equipment you need to do your best work
• Inclusive, people-first policies designed by our team, for our team
