About the RoleWe are seeking an Engineering Manager who will manage the R&D engineering team at Commure, the team taking emerging technology from inception to impact. We scout new capabilities - a frontier LLM that can chain tool calls, browser agents that can navigate the web, new agent harnesses that can self improve - and figure out how to productionize them for healthcare. Our job is the full arc: research the technology, productize it, deliver it to customers, and own it as a P&L until it graduates.
Graduation has taken the following shapes in the past:
- Embedded into an existing product - e.g., the AI Copilot in our practice management suite.
- Becomes its own product - e.g., Air, the EHR.
- Becomes an internal RCM workflow that saves the company millions annually - e.g., EOB web agents and appeal agents.
This role will be hybrid and based in our Mountain View, CA headquarters.What You'll Do- Lead and grow a team of 3+ engineers, ensuring clarity of purpose, healthy execution, and strong collaboration
- Maintain the team's startup mindset as we grow, excelling in fast-paced environments where priorities and objectives can shift
- Own the technical execution and delivery of the backend systems, automation platforms, and agent infrastructure that power this pipeline - ensuring they scale alongside the company
- Partner closely with Product, Ops, and cross-functional teams to translate high-value problems into shipped solutions, filling gaps as necessary across the research-to-production spectrum
- Manage project and resource prioritization, ensuring the team works on the most important work streams with the right level of urgency and technical rigor
- Uphold high standards in system design, code quality, and engineering operations, fostering a culture of reliability and ownership
- Coach and develop engineers, supporting career growth, technical excellence, and a high-performing culture that can move from 0 to 1 and sustain what it builds
What You Have- 4+ years of experience developing software, with a background in shipping products in a fast-paced, rapidly scaling environment
- 1+ years of experience leading engineering teams, including mentoring, performance reviews, and fostering a culture of growth and collaboration
- A strong foundation as an individual contributor, with the ability to roll up your sleeves, dive into the codebase, and problem-solve directly alongside the team when needed
- Strong technical background with expertise in modern backend development (e.g., Python - fastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes) and frontend development (Javascript - React) to build broad, event-driven platforms
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate strongly with cross-functional teams and effectively present technical concepts to leadership
- A passion for healthcare innovation and making a meaningful impact on patient care
- Experience managing and scaling teams of 8+ engineers, ideally with sub-team leads or tech leads reporting to you
- Proven ability to deliver platform-scale systems that are reliable, maintainable, and scalable
- Proven experience as a technical leader with the ability to make key architectural and strategic decisions that influence the overall product direction
- Proven ability to manage resource allocation, ensuring that projects are completed on time and with the right level of technical rigor
