About The Position

Beacon Biosignals is seeking a Senior Manager, Engineering to lead their Mobile Apps team and help build the patient-facing experiences at the front line of their mission. The apps owned by this team are how patients interact with EEG headbands and other wearables, capturing high-fidelity neurological data in clinical trials and at-home diagnostic settings. The role involves managing seven direct reports, including engineers and a product manager, with one additional IC hire planned. The manager will partner closely with product design, device engineering, and other Platform teams to deliver exceptional mobile experiences that meet user needs and the rigorous standards of a regulated health tech environment. This role reports directly to Beacon's VP of Platform. Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, with in-person office hubs available in Boston and New York. The team includes members across the US and Europe, so candidates based in the US Eastern time zone are preferred.

Requirements

A proven track record managing mid-sized mobile or consumer-facing engineering teams, with clear examples of how your leadership influenced both team health and product outcomes.
Strong mobile engineering depth sufficient to guide architectural tradeoffs across React Native, Swift, and Kotlin — including hardware-adjacent concerns like BLE, sensor integration, or device SDKs.
Experience leading teams through ambiguity and cross-functional complexity, balancing competing stakeholder priorities while maintaining team momentum and morale.
A bias toward simplicity and right-sized process; you know when to add structure and when it gets in the way.
Clear, decisive communication: once you've made a call, you follow through and keep stakeholders informed; when plans change, you communicate quickly and with context.
Honest, continuous attention to planning horizon and estimation uncertainty across all active initiatives.
A track record of celebrating the career development of direct reports, taking performance management seriously, and hiring strong talent.

Nice To Haves

Experience operating in a regulated industry is a strong plus, with practical knowledge of how to move effectively within design controls and quality frameworks.

Responsibilities

Manage and develop a team of engineers and a product manager, coaching them through meaningful growth opportunities and guiding them through technical and professional challenges.
Own the team's technical direction across React Native cross-platform apps and native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) BLE device SDKs, making sound architectural tradeoffs and staying current on platform advancements.
Drive a clear, outcome-oriented roadmap aligned with Beacon's company objectives, integrated with adjacent platform teams, and communicated transparently to stakeholders across the organization.
Own project management end-to-end: defining scope, managing timelines, setting expectations internally and externally, and keeping cross-functional partners informed of progress and changes.
Cultivate a high-functioning team culture where engineers learn collaboratively, treat setbacks as improvement opportunities, and hold each other to a high bar for quality and accountability.
Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health, preventing both over-engineering and unmanageable technical debt.
Establish and refine team processes that support efficient execution and sustainable engineering practices within a regulated product environment.
