Engineering Manager, Data & Clinical Integration Teams

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• You are enthusiastic about taking ownership of understanding and justifying the investments and decisions made by your team, ensuring you can challenge, guide, and support their decisions across functions. You demonstrate a personal understanding of our organizational goals and how the specific work you oversee is the most valuable investment to help achieve those within your area of responsibility.

• Directly manage and mentor the Data and Clinical Integration teams, providing ongoing, constructive feedback and conducting performance evaluations to encourage professional development.

• You recognize the distinction between good and exceptional performance and know how to elicit greatness from your team members, including when to challenge, redirect, or manage upwards and outwards.

• You understand when and how to advocate for the addition of new team members or skill sets that would enhance the department's capabilities.

• Actively engage in the recruitment, interviewing, and retention of high-caliber engineering talent, collaborating with fellow managers to promote team engagement and foster a positive company culture.

• Advocate for the implementation of modern, AI-enhanced engineering practices within both teams by assessing new tools, establishing responsible usage guidelines (particularly concerning PHI), and continuously elevating productivity and quality standards.

• Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to refine and execute the technical strategy for transforming EHR clinical data into reliable, query-ready data that demonstrably reflects health outcomes.

• Manage shared roadmaps and interdependencies between the two teams, as Integrations is responsible for the initial step of the clinical data pipeline that Data builds upon.

• Partner with Product to enhance insight generation from our clinical data by combining AI/ML methodologies with human analysis, while ensuring trustworthiness and compliance.

• Stay closely connected to the solutions and, when required, take a hands-on approach by communicating through prototypes or coded example applications, addressing critical questions using SQL or other technical tools.

• Remain informed about emerging technologies and industry trends, advocating for best practices within the department; review and collaborate with engineers on technical specifications to guarantee excellence in execution.

• Collaborate closely with Product and Design to conceptualize and define impactful solutions, often through the creation of Product Requirements Documents (PRDs).

• Skillfully lead and facilitate team rituals such as Kickoffs, Retrospectives, and Tech Debt Reviews, and work cross-functionally to comprehend estimates and prioritize the backlog, making pragmatic trade-offs.

• Develop processes, tools, and systems that improve the overall effectiveness of the department.

• Contribute to the team by participating in the On-Call (PagerDuty) rotation.
