**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** Engineering Management
**Salary:** $240k – $360k/yr
**Experience:** 7+ years
**Skills:** Mobile Development, Backend Development, Ble, React Native, Python, TypeScript, GraphQL, Docker, AWS, Postgres, Redis, Fda Compliance, HIPAA, GDPR
**Posted:** 2026-06-29

> Lead a high-complexity engineering team in Hardware R&D building software for connected medical devices, spanning mobile, backend, BLE, and hardware-adjacent systems. Requires 5+ years managing engineering teams, experience with connected devices or hardware partnerships, and comfort in regulated (FDA) environments.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Accomplish

**In your first 3 months:**
- Build a deep understanding of our device ecosystem, including FDA-regulated device software, BLE connectivity, mobile and backend platforms, and the clinical and operational workflows that support them.
- Establish clear team priorities, execution rhythms, and ways of working, including backlog quality, sprint planning, delivery goals, and retrospectives.
- Develop strong partnerships with Product, Clinical, Regulatory, Hardware Engineering, Data, Member Support, and Quality/Compliance counterparts to ensure alignment on goals, constraints, and quality expectations.

**In your first 6 months:**
- Orchestrate large cross-functional programs that span device, mobile, backend, and operations, proactively uncovering corner cases and non-functional risks (reliability, security, performance, scalability).
- Drive technical strategy across mobile, backend, device-control, and BLE surfaces so the platform can support both rapid product iteration and long-term maintainability.
- Establish strong quality and compliance practices for regulated software, including structured review points with regulatory and quality partners, release gating, tech debt paydown plans, and operational feedback loops.
- Lead a team that owns production health in an on-call, continuous delivery environment, improving incident response, observability, and reliability over time.

**In your first year:**
- Translate member pain points, support signals, and product goals into engineering investments that materially improve reliability, reduce support burden, and strengthen the member experience for our device products.
- Lead the software roadmap in close partnership with cross-functional stakeholders, balancing member experience, technical quality, operational reliability, and regulatory constraints across the platform.
- Hire, coach, and develop engineers and emerging technical leaders, building a high-performance, high-accountability culture within a complex and high-ambiguity remit.
- Contribute beyond your immediate team through interview design, leveling clarity, process improvements, and broader engineering stewardship across Hardware R&D and the wider engineering organization.

## Who You Are
- An experienced engineering leader who thrives at the intersection of consumer software, connected devices, and regulated product delivery.
- A strong systems thinker who can reason across mobile apps, backend services, BLE/device-control flows, and operational workflows, making clear time-versus-cost tradeoffs.
- A builder of teams who hires, coaches, and develops engineers and emerging leaders, creating a culture of ownership, psychological safety, and high standards for quality and compliance.
- A trusted cross-functional partner who collaborates deeply with Product, Clinical, Regulatory, Hardware, Data, and Operations.
- Comfortable owning production health and operational excellence in an on-call, continuous delivery environment, using data, telemetry, and support signals to improve the system.

## Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of experience leading and managing engineering teams, including managing 5+ direct reports through hiring, coaching, and performance management.
- Experience delivering production software for connected devices, BLE-enabled systems, device-control flows, or in close partnership with firmware and hardware teams.

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with healthcare, HIPAA, GDPR, FDA-regulated products, or other software in regulated environments.
- Track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs in environments with high quality, reliability, or compliance expectations.
- Familiarity with modern mobile, backend, and platform systems (e.g. React Native, Python, TypeScript, GraphQL, Docker, AWS, Postgres, Redis).
- Experience building test infrastructure, simulation layers, or developer productivity tooling for complex, distributed systems.
- Experience leading teams that own production health in an on-call, continuous delivery environment.
- Experience using AI-assisted prototyping or engineering workflows thoughtfully in product development.
