Hinge Health - Engineering Manager, New Vertical

• 0->1 Builder: We are looking for engineering managers with a track record of building new products from scratch. • Talent magnet: someone who can quickly pull together a team to build the “new vertical” product. • You move fast, know how to balance innovation vs reuse, and deliver clear business results.. • Hands-on engineering leader: You’re comfortable reading and writing code in modern stacks (e.g., React Native, BFF/full-stack web, GraphQL), and you use that fluency to coach, review, and set technical direction. • Experiment-driven operator: You think in terms of hypotheses, sample sizes, and decision rules, and you can run a dense A/B experimentation roadmap without sacrificing quality. • Systems and UX thinker: You see how architecture, API design, and client performance shape real-world member experiences—and you can align cross-functional partners around trade-offs. • Inclusive team builder: You create clear expectations, give direct feedback, and foster a culture where engineers can do the best work of their careers. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. • 3+ years of experience managing a team of ~5+ engineers in a fast-paced, product-focused environment. • AI-native development: Expertise using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI agents as development resources to drastically improve the pace of experimentation, with opinions on prompting, agent review, and harness engineering. • Strong React Native, mobile, or client-side engineering background — or equivalent depth in a BFF/full-stack web context with a track record of shipping member-facing UI at scale. • Experience owning and evolving a major product surface end-to-end — from architecture and UX through experimentation and production reliability. • Demonstrated ability to design, run, and interpret A/B experiments, including comfort reasoning about sample sizes, interference effects, and decision rules. • React Native: Experience building or leading teams in large React Native codebases, including client performance, render optimization, and app architecture patterns. • Server-Driven UI: Familiarity with SDUI patterns and the trade-offs of moving layout and presentation logic from client to server. • Platform mindset: History operating a shared product surface that other teams extend—defining extension contracts, managing inbound requests, and protecting stability. • GraphQL & modern stacks: Familiarity with GraphQL (caching, BFF patterns, client-driven data-fetching performance), plus working knowledge of Python, TypeScript/Node.js, AWS services (e.g., Lambda, SQS, SNS, SageMaker), and modern DevOps practices. • Regulated environments: Experience working within healthcare (HIPAA) or other highly regulated domains involving sensitive member data. • Location & Hybrid Working Model — San Francisco • This role is based in our San Francisco HQ and follows Hinge Health’s hybrid working model. We believe that remote work and in-person work each have their own advantages, and we want to leverage the best of both worlds. Employees in hybrid roles are required to be in the office 3 days per week, for the full 8 hours of a typical business day. Our San Francisco office also has a dog-friendly workplace program. • At Hinge Health, we’re using technology to scale and automate the delivery of healthcare – starting with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which affect over 1.7 billion people worldwide.
