Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with a solid engineering background, preferably with experience in leading teams and managing projects. A deep understanding of AI and its application in engineering workflows will be an advantage. You should possess excellent communication skills, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to improving healthcare outcomes.

About the job

At Develop Health, we are revolutionizing access to life-saving medications by leveraging AI technology. By streamlining complex healthcare processes, such as benefit verification and prior authorization, we have seen remarkable growth, achieving a tenfold increase in revenue within just one year, rising from $0 to over $10 million in annual recurring revenue in under two years. Each month, we assist over 400,000 new patients in navigating their healthcare needs.

Partnering with some of the largest pharmacy benefit managers and payers nationwide, we are transforming healthcare interactions, eliminating delays and inefficiencies. Our elite team, composed of founders and engineers with successful healthcare startup backgrounds, is rapidly scaling following a significant funding round.

About the Role:

We are seeking an Engineering Manager who will build and lead a new engineering team while remaining deeply engaged with coding. This player-coach position entails dedicating approximately 60% of your time to coding or guiding AI agents, while the remaining 40% focuses on team management and process optimization. As we grow, the emphasis on people management will increase, but this role will always maintain a technical focus.

Our engineering team employs AI agents as an integral part of our workflow, encompassing coding agents, automated testing, and LLM-powered tools. We need a leader who can enhance these processes by introducing structured management practices that improve collaboration across the engineering organization. You will be pivotal in defining how humans and agents work together, elevating engineering processes, and creating workflows that empower a small team to achieve extraordinary results.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you will have the opportunity to build your team from scratch, make hiring decisions, influence the technical architecture within your domain, and oversee the delivery process. As the first dedicated engineering management hire, this role will evolve into the Vice President of Engineering as we expand beyond 20 engineers.

What You'll Accomplish in Your First 3-6 Months:

  • Assemble your team from the ground up, define roles, recruit and hire engineers, and cultivate the team’s culture and standards.

  • Deliver production code alongside your team, focusing on our Python backend and React + TypeScript frontend, prioritizing work that unblocks others.

  • Enhance AI-augmented engineering workflows throughout the organization, determine the balance between agent execution and engineer verification, ensuring quality standards in a regulated healthcare environment.
