The posting

Location:

NYC (on-site)

The Team:

At this AI Company, engineers share a strong "sense of product" and solve meaningful problems that simplify healthcare workflows. We collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to deliver secure, scalable, and user-focused solutions guided by best practices and modular design.

AI Company value diverse experiences and skill sets, continually expanding our team to tackle modern healthcare’s challenges with creativity and precision.

The Role

As the first Engineering Manager at AI Company, you will own the technical direction and team growth for a group of exceptional engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, autonomy, and impact. You have a deep appreciation for infrastructure, AI, or cloud, and experience scaling engineering teams in startup environments.

You believe in doing things the Right Way—you value lean, pragmatic processes, clear metrics where they add value, and an obsession with solving the underlying problem rather than chasing proxies. You are highly collaborative, bringing out the best in both your team and cross-functional peers.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and scale a team of engineers, driving execution while maintaining a high technical bar.
  • Architect and refine the infrastructure, backend systems, and cloud environments that power AI-driven clinical workflows.
  • Guide technical decisions on distributed systems, high-throughput architectures, and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, on-prem).
  • Mentor and develop engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical excellence, curiosity, and impact.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product, AI, and Design teams to build intuitive, scalable solutions.
  • Set and refine engineering processes, ensuring efficiency without unnecessary overhead.
  • Stay hands-on where needed, bringing experience in Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, or modern backend infrastructure.

What We Look For

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years leading teams in high-growth environments.
  • Strong IC background – you’ve built and scaled complex systems before leading teams.
  • Startup experience – you thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
  • Big-tech or enterprise experience – you’ve learned from structured engineering teams and know how to apply best practices pragmatically.
  • Technical depth in AI or cloud – hands-on experience with distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, or AI/ML infrastructure is a strong plus.
  • Scalability mindset – deep understanding of backend infrastructure, message queues, and high-throughput architectures.
  • Empathy for engineers and users – you know how to motivate teams and build with end-users in mind.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with data pipelines, enterprise integrations, or AI/ML-powered infrastructure.
  • Background in high-compliance, security-sensitive industries (healthcare, finance, defense).
  • Track record of hiring and mentoring top-tier engineers in fast-scaling teams.

Benefits:

  • 📈 Early-Stage Equity
  • 💰 Competitive, top-of-market salary
  • 🫄 100% covered health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 🍲 Catered lunches and a stocked kitchen
  • 🚍 Commuter benefits
  • 💻 Company Laptop along w/ tools you need to succeed
  • 🧠 Learning & development budget
  • 🎤 Team-building events
  • 🌴 Flexible PTO

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
