Key responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of web applications by contributing to roadmap planning, scope shaping, and estimation.

  • Coach and develop engineers through mentorship, feedback, and fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration.

Job description

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
