Role Overview

eNGINE is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead a software delivery team supporting a modern, cloud-based platform within the healthcare technology space.

The manager will lead approximately eight software engineers who operate as a shared Delivery Team across multiple products, working alongside a Lead who serves as the domain expert for specific products.

The ideal candidate has strong experience leading teams within event-driven microservices environments . Specific programming languages are less important than technical depth across modern distributed systems, cloud platforms, and software architecture.

This team is also actively embracing AI-assisted and agentic software development . Candidates who have built AI agents to support development workflows or have helped teams effectively adopt AI coding agents will be especially compelling.

This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering organization with potential to take on broader leadership responsibilities over time.

Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of software engineers while supporting the Leads responsible for day-to-day delivery.
• Conduct regular 1:1s, establish clear expectations, provide timely feedback, and support career development.
• Recruit, interview, hire, and onboard engineers who strengthen the team's technical capabilities and culture.
• Partner with Product on roadmaps, priorities, scope, and delivery planning.
• Help teams balance new development, reliability, technical quality, and sustainable delivery.
• Provide technical leadership during architecture discussions, system design, and code reviews.
• Champion AI-assisted development and agentic coding across the team.
• Help engineers improve the shared AI agents, skills, and tools they use in their daily development workflows.
• Identify delivery risks early, help teams break down complex work, and provide support when projects get off track.
• Build a culture centered around engineering excellence, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing.
• Participate in production triage and on-call activities while helping maintain appropriate team coverage.
• Remain hands-on with select projects, tooling, and engineering improvements outside of critical delivery work.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 2+ years of experience as a Software Engineering Manager, Team Lead, Tech Lead, or similar engineering leadership role.
• Proven ability to develop engineers and build healthy, high-performing teams.
• Experience leading Agile software delivery and partnering with Product on roadmaps and planning.
• Strong technical depth in modern web, cloud, and event-based microservices environments.
• Ability to engage in architecture, system design, and code review discussions.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor or Claude Code .
• Good judgment around where AI-assisted development can improve engineering productivity and where it may not be the right approach.
• Strong communication skills with engineers, Product partners, and business leadership.

Preferred Experience

• Experience improving a team's proficiency with AI coding agents or establishing effective practices for agentic development.
• Demonstrated experience building AI agents to support software engineering or development workflows.
• Healthcare technology experience, particularly specialty pharmacy, PBM, payer, or claims systems.
