Senior Manager, Software Engineering

We are seeking a Senior Manager of Software Engineering to build and lead a new product engineering team in San Diego, developing software for providers in the sleep health diagnostics domain.

This is a people-first leadership role for an engineering leader who has previously built or scaled a team, not simply inherited one. You will be responsible for hiring, developing, and retaining a high-performing team; partnering with Product and Design on roadmap and execution; and maintaining a high bar for engineering quality, delivery velocity, and enterprise alignment. The team will operate under an AI-native product/software development methodology, and you will be responsible for establishing what disciplined, high-quality AI-assisted delivery looks like from day one. You should be technical enough to earn the team's credibility, while ultimately measured by the team's output rather than your own.

This is a foundational role. You are not inheriting a running team - you are building one.

What You'll Do

Build the Team

• Lead the hiring and onboarding of engineers across levels, with a focus on San Diego-based talent.
• Establish team norms, operating cadences, and a culture of ownership and craft from the team's inception.
• Identify capability gaps early and address them through hiring, development, or cross-team partnership.

Drive Delivery

• Own the team's end-to-end delivery, including planning, execution, and operational health.
• Partner with Product Management to translate strategy into a sequenced, achievable roadmap for provider-facing sleep health diagnostics solutions.
• Maintain a high standard for quality, security, and compliance while balancing delivery pace.
• Identify and remove delivery blockers, escalating appropriately when required.

Establish AI-Native Development as the Team's Default

• Stand up and continuously refine an AI-native product/software development methodology for the team, from specification through code through review.
• Ensure the team builds on enterprise architecture blueprints, shared platforms, and DevX standards.
• Create the conditions for disciplined AI-assisted engineering practices to take hold, with correctness, security, and maintainability treated as non-negotiable.
• Conduct or delegate rigorous design and code reviews, making engineering standards visible and consistent.

Lead Across the Organization

• Represent the San Diego team in cross-functional forums with clarity and credibility.
• Build effective working relationships with peer engineering managers, platform teams, and enterprise architects.
• Surface risks, dependencies, and trade-offs early to enable timely decision-making.

Develop Your Engineers

• Conduct regular 1:1s, calibrations, and growth conversations.
• Sponsor stretch assignments and create visibility for strong performers.
• Build a team capable of developing its own Staff and Senior engineers over time.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in engineering management.
• Demonstrated experience standing up a team or function, not solely managing an existing one.
• A track record of hiring and retaining strong engineers in competitive markets.
• Sufficient technical depth to make credible architecture and staffing decisions (backend and/or full-stack preferred).
• Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of AI-native/AI-assisted software development practices and tooling (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Augment Code).
• Experience partnering with Product and Design within an agile, product-led delivery model; healthcare or health-tech experience is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to operate effectively up, down, and across the organization.
• Demonstrated ability to establish structure and process in an ambiguous, early-stage environment.

What We Value

• Managers who build team capability rather than personal dependency.
• Leaders who provide engineers with context and the autonomy to act on it.
• Hiring managers who select for potential and invest deliberately in growth.
• Operators who sustain delivery momentum without compromising team health.
• AI-native leaders who treat new methodology and tooling as a team advantage from the outset.
