That’s why we’re not just transforming cancer care-we’re changing lives.\nWe introduced precision medicine to the world and built an industry around the idea that every patient deserves answers as unique as their DNA. Backed by cutting-edge molecular science and AI, we ask ourselves every day:“What would I do if this patient were my mom?”That question drives everything we do.\nBut our mission doesn’t stop with cancer. We're pushing the frontiers of medicine and leading a revolution in healthcare-driven by innovation, compassion, and purpose.\nJoin us in our mission to improve the human condition across multiple diseases. If you're passionate about meaningful work and want to be part of something bigger than yourself, Caris is where your impact begins.\nPosition Summary\nCaris Life Sciences is one of the largest precision-oncology platforms in the world, serving hundreds of thousands of molecular cases a year and growing at double-digit rates. Behind every case is a matched molecular, imaging, and clinical-outcomes data estate few organizations anywhere can rival, and the clinical software that drives the lab's instruments and processes, captures results, and delivers each patient's report. A patient and an ordering physician are waiting on every one of those reports. The Engineering Manager leads one of the front-line teams that keep that software reliable and moving.\nThis assignment leads the engineering team for the report-generation and rendering estate together with the clinical rules engine, components whose outputs directly shape patient-care documents. The assignment carries heightened change-control rigor and close partnership with the report-path Product Manager and the quality and regulatory organizations.\nThe Engineering Manager - Clinical Software Products leads a front-line engineering team in Caris Life Sciences' Clinical Software Engineering organization, reporting to the Senior Director, Clinical Software Engineering. This is a player-coach position: the Engineering Manager owns delivery, quality, and operational health for an assigned platform team while staying technically engaged in design and code review. The platforms in scope are live, business-critical clinical systems under SOX financial controls and FDA regulatory requirements, and the Engineering Manager is directly accountable for the supervision, change-control discipline, and engineering standards those obligations demand.\nThe engineering environment is modern and funded: frontier AI coding assistants are standard-issue tooling, with agentic workflows across design, implementation, and test generation. Characterization tests and golden-master replay validation serve as executable evidence for regulated change. Delivery runs on CI/CD with application-level observability and risk-based release governance aligned with current FDA Computer Software Assurance guidance. Modernization of established systems is active, funded engineering work. The Engineering Manager runs the team on this model and is accountable for making automation-first practice its daily norm.\nJob Responsibilities\nManage a front-line team of software engineers: hiring, onboarding, performance management, coaching, and career development.\n\nOwn delivery for the assigned platform: sprint planning, prioritization with the paired Product Manager, estimation, and predictable release execution under regulated change control.\n\nRemain technically engaged: participate in design and architecture reviews, perform code review at a meaningful cadence, and hold the team's engineering standards (testing, documentation, observability) to the level a SOX/FDA-gated estate requires.\n\nRun the team on an automation-first operating model: recurring manual engineering and operational work is a defect to engineer away, AI-assisted workflows are standard daily practice, and automated test and evidence coverage is a first-class delivery responsibility.\n\nOnboard engineers into the regulated environment, including structured knowledge transfer when a new team member absorbs existing platform scope.\n\nPartner with Application Site-Reliability Engineering on production readiness, incident response, and post-incident remediation for the assigned platform, keeping production access inside segregation-of-duties requirements.\n\nMaintain team health at a sustainable pace: balanced on-call/support load, managed work-in-progress, and early escalation of capacity risks.\n\nBring team-level facts to quarterly capacity and hiring planning: throughput, support load, and skill coverage.\n\nKeep compliance moving at the pace of delivery: change-control records, review evidence, and documentation to SOX and FDA standards for all team output.\n\nEmbed secure SDLC practices in the team: OWASP Top Ten awareness in design and code review, and penetration testing coordinated early in development.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years of direct people-management or formal team-lead responsibility for a production software team.\n\nDelivered and operated software subject to FDA, SOX, CLIA, HIPAA, or equivalent regulated-environment controls.\n\nManaged delivery with agile/scrum practices, including planning, estimation, and stakeholder communication.\n\nHired and onboarded software engineers.\n\nLed teams that apply automation and AI-assisted engineering practices in daily delivery, including automated testing, CI/CD, and scripted operations.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nWorked in healthcare, clinical laboratory, diagnostics, or life sciences software environments.\n\nDemonstrated ability to stay technically engaged while managing: substantive contribution to design review, code review, and architectural decisions on a live production system.\n\nStood up or reshaped a team while maintaining delivery continuity.\n\nManaged teams that operate production systems with formal on-call rotations.\n\nFamiliarity with structured knowledge-transfer practices when teams absorb existing platform scope.\n\nPhysical Demands\nAbility to sit, stand, and work at a computer for extended periods.\n\nTraining\nAll job-specific, safety, and compliance training is assigned based on the job functions associated with this employee.\n\nOther\nThis role may require periodic travel to other Caris sites or partner locations. After-hours response to emergency production issues and participation in escalation rotations may be required.\n\nConditions of Employment: Individual must successfully complete pre-employment process, which includes criminal background check, drug screening, credit check( applicable for certain positions) and reference verification.\nThis job description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions. Nothing in this job description restricts management’s right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time.\nCaris Life Sciences is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, status as a protected veteran, among other things, or status as a qualified individual with disability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7450,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Genomics & Genetic Testing","Precision Medicine"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T23:46:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/caris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/caris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T20:41:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32552,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1953796},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1953796"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcaris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcaris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcaris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/caris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcaris-life-sciences-engineering-manager-rules-report-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3301143}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"carislifesciences.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3301143},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
