Job Description

What you'll be part of

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we're the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare "win win" — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.

About the role:

We are seeking an exceptional Engineering Manager to join our Business Productivity team. This role will report to the VP of Platform Engineering. You will lead a team responsible for improving the efficiency of our internal lines of business by embedding AI into their core workflows. 

Where you will work:

This role will be based in our New York City office (in the Financial District). You must be willing to work in the office 3 days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

What you will do:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team through coaching, authentic feedback, and hiring
• Partner closely with internal business units to identify high-leverage opportunities and ship features end-to-end that deliver measurable employee productivity gains
• Drive the delivery of AI-native solutions 
• Own core services and ensure secure, high-quality, and reliable experiences in a fast-moving environment
• Balance quality with delivery speed, identify bottlenecks, and clearly communicate tradeoffs across engineering, product, and business stakeholders
• Set technical direction across the team's roadmap and its three bets: AI adoption, employee efficiency, and foundational improvements

The ideal candidate has:

• 6+ years of hands-on engineering experience and 2+ years managing engineering teams
• Experience building web applications and APIs on cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar)
• Strong sense of ownership and proactive problem-solving mindset
• The ability to partner with non-technical business stakeholders and translate their workflows into effective technical solutions
• Experience thriving in a startup or other fast-moving, high-accountability environment
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback

Technologies we use:

Python, TypeScript, React, NodeJS, Kubernetes, Istio, Postgres, ElasticSearch, NATS, AWS, Terraform

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company in a transformative role, helping shape the future of healthcare.

What you'll get here:

You'll work on problems that matter, at a company working to change healthcare at scale. You'll work at the intersection of AI and systemic healthcare reform, where the problems we solve are as interesting and compelling as the mission.

At Garner, you'll take on real, ambitious problems with real ownership and autonomy, alongside exceptional, principles-based people who genuinely want you to win. It's demanding by design. You'll be challenged to stretch beyond what you thought possible and receive consistent coaching to help you grow and do the best work of your career. This isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's intentional. The people here are driven by what's at stake for real people, and that's what gives our intensity its purpose. 

Compensation Transparency:

The target base salary range for this position is $310,000 – $385,000. Individual compensation for this role will depend on various factors, including qualifications, skills, and applicable laws.
