Job description
Engineering Manager (Hands-On) -- Digital Health / Telehealth -- Remote (US)
HUG is working with a growth-stage digital health and telehealth company on a Greenfield Engineering Manager role. It's a hands-on leadership position where you'll manage a small team of full-stack engineers while still contributing meaningful code yourself.
About the role
You'll be a hands-on technical leader, managing a team of 2--5 full-stack software engineers who build and maintain core web applications. The estimated split is roughly 50--70% hands-on coding and 30--50% leadership responsibilities. You'll report directly into senior engineering leadership.
What you'll do
- Provide technical leadership on roadmap planning, project scoping, and estimates.
- Uphold engineering standards through design reviews, architecture discussions, code reviews, and testing practices.
- Mentor and develop engineers on your team, fostering a culture of excellence, creativity, and collaboration.
- Contribute full-stack code, with a focus on front-end development.
- Work cross-functionally with Product, Design, clinicians, and other stakeholders to deliver products that meet both user and business needs.
- Drive improvements in systems, processes, and architecture as the company scales.
- Stay current with industry trends and explore AI tooling where relevant.
- Handle people management responsibilities including performance reviews, promotions, and any necessary PIPs.
Tech stack
- TypeScript, React
- Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Remote Config)
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
What they're looking for
- 6--10 years of experience as a software engineer, with a track record of leading teams and projects at tech scale-ups or high-growth product companies.
- Strong full-stack engineering skills, particularly with TypeScript, React, and Firebase/GCP.
- A hands-on manager who genuinely wants to keep coding - not someone who has moved fully into management.
- Experience navigating ambiguous challenges in a growth-stage environment.
- Healthcare domain knowledge is a strong plus, but not required.
- US-based only; this role is fully remote within the US and does not support visa sponsorship.
Compensation
- Base salary: $185K--$195K, plus competitive equity.
