Key Responsibilities
We're hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead Care Delivery in building these business-critical clinical and operational systems. You'll combine strong people leadership with technical depth, guiding engineers who work on complex, safety-sensitive backend services, workflows, and integrations—shipping systems that are reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable, because the care team depends on them every hour of every day.
We're also an AI-native engineering org, and we expect this leader to operate as a manager of agents—fluent in agentic software delivery with tools like Claude Code as a core part of the workflow—alongside the fundamentals that make small teams fast and safe: small-batch continuous delivery, feature flags, strong CI, and tight feedback loops. You should already practice these things and be eager to coach them into the team.
This role reports to our VP of Engineering and partners closely with product, clinical, and operational leaders to translate evolving care needs into scalable software. Fully remote, open to candidates anywhere in the US.
Team Leadership & Execution
Lead, coach, and grow a small team delivering business-critical clinical and operational systems
Establish clear goals and execution plans aligned with product and company priorities
Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
Provide direct feedback, mentorship, and career development for engineers at multiple levels
Raise the technical and delivery bar through pairing, code review, and hands-on coaching
Hire thoughtfully to strengthen team capability and long-term scalability
Technical Leadership
Guide architectural decisions for backend services, workflows, integrations, and internal tools
Partner with senior engineers to ensure systems are reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable
Maintain strong technical fluency across Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React/Next.js, and AWS-based infrastructure
Ensure healthy CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment practices for a regulated healthcare environment
Champion small-batch, continuous delivery—small PRs, short-lived branches, feature flags, tight feedback loops
Use DORA metrics and other delivery signals to continuously raise the team's throughput and stability
Identify technical risks early and lead mitigation before they impact care delivery
Clinical Workflow & Intelligent Systems
Oversee systems supporting clinical charting, scheduling, task management, care coordination, and workflow automation
Ensure systems handle patient data safely within HIPAA and broader healthcare regulatory requirements
Support thoughtful integration of automation and AI where appropriate, always prioritizing human oversight and patient safety
Cross-Functional Partnership
Partner with product, clinical, and operations leaders to define roadmaps and translate evolving requirements into clear engineering plans
Provide structure and clarity in ambiguous problem spaces
Balance speed of delivery with operational reliability and long-term platform health
Required Skills & Abilities
You're an experienced engineering leader who blends hands-on technical depth with strong people leadership. You bring:
5+ years managing engineering teams, with prior experience as a senior or staff-level engineer
A track record leading delivery of complex backend or workflow-heavy systems in production, in fast-moving or high-growth environments
Experience instilling delivery fundamentals—small-batch delivery, feature flags, testing, operational excellence—and coaching teams to adopt them
Hands-on fluency with agentic, AI-native development (e.g., Claude Code)—you practice it yourself and can model and coach it into a team
Strong communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
A plus, not required: experience in healthcare, clinical systems, workflow tooling, AI-enabled products, or other regulated domains
Your leadership will directly shape how Form Health delivers care at scale. You'll help build systems that support:
Secure, HIPAA-compliant patient communication and care delivery
Reliable clinical and operational workflows
Scalable revenue and infrastructure systems
Intelligent, adaptive product experiences
Safe, incremental experimentation and continuous improvement
