It's a hands-on leadership position where you'll manage a small team of full-stack engineers while still contributing meaningful code yourself. About the role You'll be a hands-on technical leader, managing a team of 2–5 full-stack software engineers who build and maintain core web applications. The estimated split is roughly 50–70% hands-on coding and 30–50% leadership responsibilities. You'll report directly into senior engineering leadership. What you'll do

• Provide technical leadership on roadmap planning, project scoping, and estimates.
• Uphold engineering standards through design reviews, architecture discussions, code reviews, and testing practices.
• Mentor and develop engineers on your team, fostering a culture of excellence, creativity, and collaboration.
• Contribute full-stack code, with a focus on front-end development.
• Work cross-functionally with Product, Design, clinicians, and other stakeholders to deliver products that meet both user and business needs.
• Drive improvements in systems, processes, and architecture as the company scales.
• Stay current with industry trends and explore AI tooling where relevant.
• Handle people management responsibilities including performance reviews, promotions, and any necessary PIPs.

Tech stack

• TypeScript, React
• Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Remote Config)
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

What they're looking for

• 6–10 years of experience as a software engineer, with a track record of leading teams and projects at tech scale-ups or high-growth product companies.
• Strong full-stack engineering skills, particularly with TypeScript, React, and Firebase/GCP.
• A hands-on manager who genuinely wants to keep coding - not someone who has moved fully into management.
• Experience navigating ambiguous challenges in a growth-stage environment.
• Healthcare domain knowledge is a strong plus, but not required.
• US-based only; this role is fully remote within the US and does not support visa sponsorship.

Compensation
