With more and more data coming from wearables, lab tests, and patient-doctor interactions, we’re entering an era where data is abundant.\nJunction is building the infrastructure layer for diagnostic healthcare, making patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across labs and devices. Our mission is simple but ambitious: use health data to unlock unprecedented insight into human health and disease.\nIf you're passionate about how technology can supercharge healthcare, you’ll fit right in.\nBacked by Creandum, Point Nine, 20VC, YC, and leading angels, we’re working to solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: making healthcare personalized, proactive, and affordable. We’re already connecting millions and scaling fast.\nShort on time?\nYou: You’ve led experienced engineers, stayed close to the code, and care about the product and the customers using it.\n\nOwnership / Focus: You’ll lead a small and growing engineering team, you’ll own its engineering direction, technical delivery, team health and hiring.\n\nHow we manage: We don’t believe in purely pastoral engineering managers. You’ll manage and develop people, but you’ll also ship, unblock, review and make technical decisions alongside them.\n\nSalary: £120-£150k + equity (based on experience and location)\n\nLocation: Fully remote (GMT). We have one company offsite each year, with possible travel to London every couple of months for team meet-ups.\n\nWhy we need you\nOur engineering team is growing, and we need another Engineering Manager to grow with it. You’ll report to Mark, our Head of Engineering, and work alongside Rui, our other Engineering Manager. You’ll initially take ownership of a small engineering team, working closely with product and other teams to decide what to build and get it shipped.\nAt Junction, engineering management is a technical job. We want our managers close enough to the work to know what’s going on, give good feedback and get involved when needed. But we don’t want you to become the person everyone waits for when something gets difficult.\nSix months in, your team should trust you, people outside the team should know where things stand, and the team should be delivering what it says it will.\nWhat you’ll be doing day to day\nOwn the engineering direction, delivery and health of a small team of senior product engineers.\n\nWork with product on what the team commits to, then make sure it gets delivered.\n\nStay close to the code: review PRs, give technical feedback, pair on problems and ship when it makes sense.\n\nUnblock the team when decisions are unclear or things go wrong.\n\nGive engineers regular feedback, run useful 1:1s and performance reviews, and actively help them grow in their careers.\n\nNotice what’s slowing the team down and fix it, surface problems early and keep the rest of the company clear on what’s happening.\n\nOwn hiring for your team and play an active role in helping Junction grow.\n\nRequirements\nYou’ve led and directly managed experienced software engineers.\n\nYou’ve stayed technically involved while managing\n\nYou’ve owned a team’s delivery, not just its people management.\n\nYou can give useful technical feedback and make sound calls on engineering trade-offs.\n\nYou’ve worked with product and other teams to turn customer problems into shipped software.\n\nYou’ve helped engineers develop through direct feedback, coaching and meaningful opportunities to take on more.\n\nYou’ve hired engineers and helped raise the technical or operating standards of a team.\n\nYou don’t need to tick every box to fit in here. If the problems we’re solving genuinely interest you and you know you can contribute, we’d love to talk.\nNice to have\nYou’ve worked at an early-stage or scaling company where managers are expected to manage people and build product.\n\nWhat this role isn’t\nIf you want to stay out of the code and spend most of your time in 1:1s, planning and status meetings, it won’t be a good fit.\n\nYou’ll have to make tough calls on technical and non-technical topics and own the outcomes\n\nIt isn’t a tech lead role with a few 1:1s either. Developing people, giving difficult feedback, hiring and building a healthy team are core parts of the job.\n\nHow you'll be compensated\nYour salary is dependent on your location and experience level\n\nEquity (extended exercise post 2 years of employment)\n\nCompany and team offsites\n\nMonthly learning budget of $150 for personal development and productivity\n\n$100 monthly wellness budget\n\nFlexible, remote-first working, including $1K for home office equipment\n\nCoworking budget\n\n36 days paid time off (including bank holidays)\n\nPremium healthcare coverage\n\n4% monthly contribution to pension/401k\n\nYearly blood test on us\n\nEnhanced parental, foster, and adoption leave\n\nImportant details before applying:\nWe only hire folks physically based in GMT and EST timezones\n\nWe do not sponsor visas right now given our stage","description_format":"text","description_chars":4961,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Medical Laboratories","Health Data & Interoperability"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-14T15:41:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.325,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":69,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200787,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/junction-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/junction-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T13:41:17Z","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":20462,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4656},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4656"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjunction-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fjunction-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fjunction-engineering-manager"},{"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/junction-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjunction-engineering-manager"}]}
