About You You find more satisfaction in seeing your engineers grow than in writing code yourself — people development is your primary lever.You give direct, timely performance feedback to your engineers — including hard conversations about gaps and growth edges — and you don’t wait for formal review cycles to do it. You’re comfortable operating without a Director layer between you and the VP — you take initiative, make decisions with appropriate autonomy, and bring the right level of signal upward. You hold yourself and your team to clear expectations and follow through — delivery discipline isn’t bureaucracy to you, it’s respect for the business and the patients we serve. You’re energized by the mission — you connect engineering craft to patient and clinician outcomes, not just technical metrics. You see Strive’s current scale as an opportunity to build the right patterns early, before they become harder to change. Annual Base Salary Range: $130,000 - $163,000.
