Stay close to the technical work

• Review system designs, architecture decisions, and code, and help the team make sound trade-offs (foster collaboration and organic decision-making in the team).
• Contribute hands-on where it gives the team leverage: prototyping, debugging, or building internal tooling.

Help shape engineering at Anterior

• Raise the bar on engineering practices and standards as the team grows.
• Work with leadership on team structure, hiring plans, and how we scale the engineering organization.

We're Looking For

You're an engineer who became a manager because you care about building strong teams. You believe in keeping things simple and getting the foundations right, and you know that good engineering is as much about what a team chooses not to build. What we care about:

• You have 8+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years as an engineering manager responsible for hiring, performance, and career development.
• Your technical depth is in backend and/or infrastructure: APIs, integrations, data pipelines, distributed systems, or the cloud infrastructure underneath them. You've owned system design decisions and operated systems in production at scale.
• You still enjoy the technical work, and you can hold your own in a design review and in code development and review.
• You've grown engineers into senior and lead roles, and your feedback is direct, specific, and kind.
• You have sound delivery judgment. You know how to scope, sequence, and cut in order to ship reliably.
• You've worked somewhere with real complexity — a scale-up, a big tech platform team, an engineering-focused finance firm, or anywhere with a serious AWS footprint.
• Healthcare experience is a plus, but not required.

This Isn't For You If

• You want to step away from technical work entirely. This role stays close to the code and the systems.
• You'd rather inherit a well-defined process. We're still building ours, and you'll help shape it.
• You're looking for a remote role. This role is based in our New York office.

Tech

• Langs: Python / TS, React and HTMX
• Infra: Nix, AWS (currently on CDKTF — actively looking to migrate; experience leading a migration like this is a plus)

What's in it for you

This is an opportunity to join a company at a major inflection point, using cutting-edge technology to have a meaningful impact in healthcare. You'll work with a world-class team, hold significant responsibility, and shape how our engineering organization grows.

We take pride in our strong apprenticeship and coaching culture. We expect our early hires to become leaders both within our company and across the industry, and as an Engineering Manager, you'll be central to building that culture.
