The OpportunityEvery product surface at Hinge Health—the ones helping 18M+ people move beyond pain—depends on the foundational infrastructure your team will own. As Senior Engineering Manager, Service Enablement, you'll lead the platform-minded team responsible for keeping our cloud infrastructure rock-solid while accelerating the shift to AI-native engineering workflows. Your work will be a force multiplier for every engineer, product manager, and designer in the company. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of platform reliability, developer enablement, and autonomous AI-driven operationsWhat You'll AccomplishIn your first 3 months:Establish relationships with key stakeholders across Security, Product Engineering, Data Engineering, and the India-based SRE team. Audit the current infrastructure posture, on-call practices, and CI/CD pipelines to identify the highest-leverage improvement opportunities.Assess your team of 8–10 engineers (Staff, Senior, and mid-level SREs), understand individual growth trajectories, and begin shaping a coaching-first operating cadence.In your first 6 months:Own Platform Reliability & Scalability — Guarantee stability and performance across multiple EKS clusters, maintaining 99.9%+ uptime while optimizing cost-efficiency as AI workloads scale.Drive the Harness Engineering Initiative — Define safety rails, test harnesses, and verification systems that allow autonomous AI agents to reliably build, test, and maintain infrastructure in production-grade environments.Scale the NestJS Monorepo & CI/CD Platform — Accelerate migration of all NestJS services into the monorepo, ensuring NX, GitHub Actions, and Okteto deliver a world-class developer experience.In your first year:Execute Vendor Strategy & Cost Optimization — Own relationships with AWS, Datadog, Cloudflare, Temporal, and Infisical; deliver significant cost savings as Hinge Health scales infrastructure and AI workloads.Champion Operational Excellence — Run a follow-the-sun support model, maintain 24/7 on-call coverage, lead the Incident Review Board, and continuously improve SLOs, runbooks, and observability to reduce MTTR.Build a High-Performing, Inclusive Team — Develop talent toward Senior and Staff levels, maintain sustainable on-call practices, and foster a culture of blameless retros and continuous improvement.Who You AreA Platform Thinker — You see infrastructure as a product. You obsess over developer experience metrics (DXI, DORA, PR throughput) and build systems that reduce friction for every team you serve.AI-Forward — You're energized—not threatened—by the shift to AI-assisted engineering. You've experimented with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot and can envision a world where engineers act as architects and auditors of AI-generated code.A Trust Builder — You communicate effectively across engineering, security, product, and executive stakeholders to align infrastructure decisions with business priorities.A Learn-it-All — You don't have all the answers, but you have a proven framework for finding them.
