Technical Engineering Manager | COB Product

What You'll Do

Engineering & Team Leadership

• Own the architecture, technical roadmap, and production releases for CORA, holding the team accountable for quality, reliability, and delivery pace
• Stay hands-on through architectural design, code review, and selective coding where it sets the technical bar for the team
• Hire, develop, and retain a team of 5–6 engineers, with deliberate investment in coaching, career growth, and performance management
• Establish the engineering standards, operational practices, and delivery rhythm appropriate to an early-stage greenfield product
• Guide the design of the core rules engine, the claims pipeline, and the AI innovation that moves COB determinations to be more accurate and efficient
• Drive platform decisions for extensibility, scalability, and the security that regulated healthcare data demands as CORA onboards new payers

Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Leadership

• Partner with product, ML, UX, and operations to translate evolving payer and analyst requirements into scoped, sequenced work with measurable targets
• Align stakeholders across teams on priorities, tradeoffs, and timelines, and drive cross-functional decisions cleanly to closure
• Define and report the metrics that demonstrate engineering and product impact to leadership and to partner teams across the company
• Represent the team to executive and customer audiences, presenting results and clear articulation of technical strategy

• Excellent communication skills, including translating technical tradeoffs for non-technical audiences and presenting to executives
• Demonstrated ability to drive ambiguous, open-ended problems to closure with measurable outcomes
• Power-user fluency with Claude Code or Codex for planning, building, and debugging non-trivial work
• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent

Strongly Preferred

• Experience building greenfield products and establishing engineering standards for a new team
• Experience in healthcare, insurance, finance, or other high-stakes domains where "mostly right" is unacceptable

• Experience designing high-throughput rules or decisioning engines that evaluate logic against large data volumes in near real time
• Experience operating systems on regulated data (PHI/PII), including the security and compliance controls production healthcare requires
• Experience shipping AI- or ML-driven features in production, including how they are evaluated and earn the business's trust
