Nimble is a healthtech company on a mission to simplify access, understanding and management of healthcare. We are starting by building the largest, most loved pharmacy business in the world. We are a fast-growing, technology-first startup driven by perfecting the patient and pharmacist experience. Nimble fosters a culture of collaboration, open communication and deliberate action that allows us to face today’s most exciting challenges head-on and grow incredibly quickly.

Our engineering culture places an emphasis on shared trust and no egos in a highly collaborative environment. Engineers are expected to understand the why of what they’re building and be able to work with their team to deliver impactful solutions to our customers. We move fast, stay lean, and value technical depth over bureaucratic layers. If you’re tired of meeting-only management and want to be at a place where your technical intuition is a core part of your leadership, you’ll fit right in.

Leadership in the trenches - lead a team of high-performing engineers by staying close to the code. You should be able to conduct rigorous design reviews and provide technical guidance that actually moves the needle.

Bias for action - move past “flagging” problems. When a project stalls, you investigate the root cause - whether it’s a technical debt issue, a logic gap, or process friction - and do what it takes to drive towards the solution.

Technical strategy - balance immediate delivery with long-term scalability, helping the team navigate trade-offs while maintaining a relentless pace.

Mentorship through execution - grow your team by showing, not just telling. Lead by example, maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, and operational excellence.

Cross-functional navigation - partner with product, design, and data teams to ensure technical feasibility and to push back (or lean in) based on what’s best for the product’s health.

Technically rooted - you have a strong foundational background in software engineering (5+ years) and have spent at least 2+ years leading teams in fast-paced environments.

“In the weeds” mindset - you find joy in the details. You’re the type of manager who looks at a trace or log to understand a failure before asking an IC to handle it.

High agency - you don’t wait for permission to fix things. You have a proven track record of taking messy, ambiguous situations and driving them to a successful conclusion.

Low ego, high standards - you don’t care who gets the credit, but you care immensely about the quality of the output.

Compassionate and driven colleagues in a collaborative, high-impact environment

Direct access to executives and a transparent company cultureRare opportunity to change an industry and lives of millions
