Anterior - Engineering Manager

• Lead and grow the team • 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. • Deliver for our customers • 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. • Stay close to the technical work • 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. • Help shape engineering at Anterior • 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. • We're Looking For • We're Looking For • 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. • This Isn't For You If • 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. • Langs: Python / Go / TS, React (and HTMX) • Langs: • Infra: Nix, AWS (currently on CDKTF — actively looking to migrate; experience leading a migration like this is a plus) • Infra:
