About the Role

We're looking for a Product Engineering Manager to lead our Growth team - owning the UX layer and front-end product engineering that shapes how users experience Granted. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering leadership to drive our roadmap, design and ship features that delight users, and leverage AI to build a world-class consumer application.

This is a player-coach role. You'll spend your first three months contributing as an IC - shipping code, learning the product deeply, and earning context - before stepping fully into management. We want someone who can set technical direction and write the code to back it up.

What You'll Do

• Own pod execution end-to-end - sprint planning, retros, delivery tracking, and a clear narrative of what the team committed to, delivered, and learned
• Co-own the Growth roadmap with your PM - shape scope, push back on priorities, and drive trade-off conversations as equals
• Ship features across the stack - TypeScript front-end and back-end (React Native, NextJS, NestJS, GraphQL)
• Set technical direction - make credible architecture calls, propose tooling improvements, and raise the craft bar for the pod
• Build the team's capacity - structured growth conversations, stretch assignments, and delegation that lets the pod run well when you're not in the room
• Surface problems before they're discovered - maintain a living tracker of commitments tied to business goals; flag risks with a recommendation, not just an alert

🧰 You'll Bring

Must-haves:

• 6+ years of application engineering experience with depth in TypeScript and React
• 2+ years of technical leadership experience (engineering management strongly preferred; tech lead considered for exceptional candidates)
• Startup veteran - you've worked at a Series B or earlier company; zero-to-one experience is a strong plus
• Business-informed prioritization instincts - you connect engineering decisions to growth metrics and company strategy, not just technical elegance
• Backend proficiency alongside front-end strength - you can own architectural decisions across the full stack
• Willingness to contribute as an IC during onboarding and ongoing

Nice-to-haves:

• Based in NYC (strongly preferred)
• Experience with our broader stack: NestJS, Postgres, Temporal, AWS
• Background building consumer health, fintech, or other regulated-industry products
• Experience using AI/LLMs in production applications

You'll Thrive Here If

• You prioritize ruthlessly - you know what matters to the business, align your team accordingly, and say no to low-leverage work
• You lead proactively - risks get surfaced with a recommendation before anyone has to ask
• You build through people - your measure of success is a team that maintains quality and velocity without you as the bottleneck
• You think in business terms - you frame technical trade-offs for product partners and product requests for engineers with equal fluency
• You're reflective about leadership - you're building a leadership identity, not just running sprints
• You're mission-driven - you want your work to have real impact on people's lives

📢 You don't need to check every single box-if you're passionate, driven, and excited about the impact AI can make on the healthcare system, we'd love to hear from you!

Working with us

Granted is headquartered in New York, with our office in Chelsea. Our team is split between in-office and remote across the US: Engineering and CX are remote-first, while other teams work hybrid from our NYC office (in-office Monday-Thursday, Fridays from home). We're intentional about when we're together and flexible where it enables deep, high-quality work.

More than anything, we're here because we care deeply about the problem we're solving and the standard we hold ourselves to. Healthcare is broken, and fixing it requires people who want ownership, impact, and the chance to do the most meaningful work of their careers.
