Engineering Manager I (Player/Coach, Full Stack)
Location: Remote
Compensation: $185,000 - $195,000
About Our Client
Our client is a mission-driven telehealth company focused on expanding access to treatment for opioid use disorder. They build compliant, patient- and clinician-facing software that supports care delivery at scale. The work is high-trust, outcomes-driven, and deeply tied to reliability, privacy, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA).
The Role
Our client is hiring an Engineering Manager I to lead a team of 2–5 full-stack engineers building and maintaining core web applications. This is a true player/coach role with a 50–70% hands-on coding expectation (and 30–50% leadership), depending on business needs and team maturity.
You’ll be responsible for delivery quality, architecture improvements, engineering standards, and day-to-day mentorship—working side-by-side with your team across the full product lifecycle from idea → implementation → measurable results.
Tech Stack
- TypeScript, React
- Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Remote Config)
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
What You’ll Do
- Lead delivery with strong technical judgment: contribute to roadmap planning, scope shaping, and estimation; drive incremental wins and predictable execution
- Maintain a high engineering bar: clear technical designs, opinionated architecture choices, strong code review culture, and solid test coverage
- Build across the stack: primarily strengthening frontend capabilities, while contributing wherever the team needs most
- Coach and develop engineers: mentorship, feedback, and growth plans while fostering a culture of excellence, creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement
- Partner cross-functionally: work closely with Product and Design, plus clinicians and non-technical stakeholders, to ensure solutions meet real clinical and business needs
- Improve systems and process: advocate for investments that improve architecture, quality, and performance—balancing traditional engineering approaches with thoughtful use of AI tooling
- Operate with flexibility: thrive in ambiguity, ask questions, learn fast, and adapt team priorities as business needs evolve
- Manage performance: with support from leadership and People partners, handle performance evaluations, promotions, coaching plans, and (when necessary) separations
What Our Client Is Looking For
- Experience leading and mentoring engineers while remaining hands-on as a technical contributor
- Strong full-stack product engineering background, ideally with modern frontend strengths (TypeScript/React)
- Ability to make and defend architecture decisions, improve code quality, and build scalable patterns
- Comfort working in a regulated or high-trust environment (healthcare experience is a plus; HIPAA familiarity is helpful)
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, including working with clinicians and non-technical partners
- Bias toward incremental delivery, measurable outcomes, and pragmatic execution
- Curiosity and openness to using emerging tools (including AI tooling) to improve development practices and product outcomes
Why This Role
- Direct impact on patients and clinicians through real clinical workflows
- Player/coach scope with meaningful ownership over systems, standards, and team development
- High-leverage work: architecture improvements, quality bar, delivery reliability, and cross-functional influence
- A mission that matters, in a space where thoughtful engineering and compliance are non-negotiable
