Engineering Manager

Anterior's engineering team builds the platform health plans rely on for clinical decision-making at enterprise scale. As we grow, we need engineering leaders who keep the team moving quickly, hold a high bar for quality, and help every engineer do the best work of their career.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team of around 10 engineers in our New York office. You'll be responsible for the people on your team — how they're hired, how they grow, and how they work together — and for what the team delivers. This is a player-coach role, roughly 70% leading people and 30% hands-on: you'll stay close to the technical work, take part in design decisions, and contribute hands-on where it gives the team the most leverage.

• Hold regular 1:1s, give clear and honest feedback, and build development plans that help strong engineers become standout ones.

• Own performance reviews and career growth for your team, in line with our growth model.

• Hire for your team: define roles with us, run interview loops, assess for competence and fit, and close the engineers we want most.

• Build a team culture of ownership, care, and high standards.

• Plan and sequence the team's work so that execution is predictable and quality stays high.

• Partner with product, clinical, and customer-facing teams to turn real healthcare workflows into roadmaps and specs.

• Work with our enterprise customers' technical teams to scope integrations and support deployments.

• Own the reliability of your team's systems: keep your engineers' on-call rotation healthy, act as an escalation point during incidents, and drive postmortem follow-through.

• Review system designs, architecture decisions, and code, and help the team make sound trade-offs.

• Contribute hands-on where it gives the team leverage: prototyping, debugging, or building internal tooling.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
