About The Position

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.

Requirements

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.
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).

Nice To Haves

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.

Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and manage a remote team of software engineers, fostering accountability, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
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.
