Engineering Manager

We are a globally distributed team with folks from the United States, Canada, Chile, Mongolia, Turkey, India, Madagascar, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia… and more. Our values center around customer centricity, urgency, curiosity, and ownership. We are all empowered to fix the problems we see, there are no “toes” to be stepped on. A team went off and created a new SaaS product, another team rewrote a core service under a new architecture. We believe in our collective mission and do what it takes to move the needle on that goal.

What you’ll do

• You will be responsible for your team’s process, delivery, and execution. Ensuring that the team can work optimally and with high quality.
• You will partner with product managers, and our customers, to create your team’s roadmap.
• While you may not be involved in day-to-day coding, you will be reviewing your team’s work and providing technical guidance and coaching. This involves reviewing PRs, architecture and design documents and ensuring that the output of your team is of high quality and solves the customer’s problems.
• You will be responsible for managing your team’s performance. This means proactively identifying and rectifying the impact of low performance and giving immediate and actionable feedback.
• We value a growth mindset, and as an engineering manager, you will be responsible for helping your engineers grow to their full potential.
• Every individual at Clipboard Health has an impact on the business. As an Engineering Manager, we will look to you for input on streamlining our engineering processes, helping craft our goals, and raising the bar for the technical teams at the company. At Clipboard Health we say “We don’t have any toes to step on”. If you see a problem, you fix it.
• As a fast-paced team that is constantly growing, you will participate in all stages of the hiring process.
• We give constant feedback and highly value transparency. You’ll have a lot of conversations in open forums, and as a curious team that values “first-principles thinking”, you can expect questions and feedback on these conversations.
