Senior Manager, Engineering – Mobile Apps

200k – 220kBoston, MAEngineering ManagementHybrid7+ YOE
Summary

Lead a team of 7 engineers and a PM building patient-facing React Native mobile apps and native BLE device SDKs for EEG headbands in a regulated health tech environment.

About the role

What success looks like

As Senior Manager, Engineering at Beacon, you'll:

  • Manage and develop a team of engineers and a product manager, coaching them through meaningful growth opportunities and guiding them through technical and professional challenges.
  • Own the team's technical direction across our React Native cross-platform apps and our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) BLE device SDKs, making sound architectural tradeoffs and staying current on platform advancements.
  • Drive a clear, outcome-oriented roadmap aligned with Beacon's company objectives, integrated with adjacent platform teams, and communicated transparently to stakeholders across the organization.
  • Own project management end-to-end: defining scope, managing timelines, setting expectations internally and externally, and keeping cross-functional partners informed of progress and changes.
  • Cultivate a high-functioning team culture where engineers learn collaboratively, treat setbacks as improvement opportunities, and hold each other to a high bar for quality and accountability.
  • Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health, preventing both over-engineering and unmanageable technical debt.
  • Establish and refine team processes that support efficient execution and sustainable engineering practices within a regulated product environment.

What your team works on

Your team builds and maintains the React Native apps and native BLE SDKs through which patients pair, configure, and use our Waveband EEG headband. Recent and ongoing initiatives include building out support for new BLE wearable devices, improving in-app signal quality validation, streamlining onboarding and compliance tracking for clinical trial participants, and improving the end-to-end experience for Home Sleep Test diagnostic patients.

What you'll bring

  • A proven track record managing mid-sized mobile or consumer-facing engineering teams, with clear examples of how your leadership influenced both team health and product outcomes.
  • Strong mobile engineering depth sufficient to guide architectural tradeoffs across React Native, Swift, and Kotlin — including hardware-adjacent concerns like BLE, sensor integration, or device SDKs.
  • Experience leading teams through ambiguity and cross-functional complexity, balancing competing stakeholder priorities while maintaining team momentum and morale.
  • A bias toward simplicity and right-sized process; you know when to add structure and when it gets in the way.
  • Clear, decisive communication: once you've made a call, you follow through and keep stakeholders informed; when plans change, you communicate quickly and with context.
  • Honest, continuous attention to planning horizon and estimation uncertainty across all active initiatives.
  • Experience operating in a regulated industry is a strong plus, with practical knowledge of how to move effectively within design controls and quality frameworks.
  • A track record of celebrating the career development of direct reports, taking performance management seriously, and hiring strong talent.
