Engineering Manager

Our team is committed to enhancing physician and patient quality of life through Elation, a SaaS cloud-based clinical platform. Since inception, we’ve been focused on building an intuitive, reliable experience that empowers physicians to deliver better care to patients.

Elation is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team to design, build, and maintain products while aligning with business strategy and commercial goals. As the leader of the team, you’ll be deeply involved in the system design, development, and maintenance of these products, as well as leading and coaching a team of engineers. 

If you’re excited about leading high-performing teams and building AI-powered tools that help doctors and patients, we want to hear from you — even if you don’t check every box below!

What You’ll Do in Your First 60 Days

• Lead and participate in code reviews and share knowledge with the team
• Ship your first AI-powered feature improvement to production
• Partner with Product and UX to scope and design at least one new capability
• Get familiar with our stack (Python, MySQL, React, AWS) and AI integration patterns

What Success at 6–12 Months Looks Like

• You’re leading a team of 3-5 highly-engaged engineers and collaborating to improve team practices
• Your team is shipping significant features end-to-end, from design through deployment
• You’re helping shape technical direction for AI-native product experiences
• You’ve built strong partnerships with your team’s Product Manager and UX Designer
• You’re actively measuring the value delivered and improvements to the patient and physician experiences in Elation
• You’re engaged as a player-coach and hands on shipping features with your team

How We Work

A typical team at Elation includes 3–5 engineers, an engineering manager, a product manager, a UX designer, and QA working together on a specific product area. Engineers have autonomy over technical implementation decisions while partnering with Product on feature scope and priorities. Your team will own features end-to-end — from architecture and design through deployment and production support.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• 2+ years of experience managing a team
• Track record of leading high-performing teams that deliver high-quality software projects
• Experience building APIs using modern backend technologies
• Ability to communicate complex technical problems clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
• Enthusiasm and interest in building systems using AI and large language models

Valued but Not Required

• Experience with a modern JavaScript framework (React, Angular, etc.)
• Experience building systems with AI/LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Experience with server-side technology including Python and MySQL
• Experience deploying systems on AWS or other cloud providers
• DevOps/observability experience or strong interest in learning
• Knowledge of US healthcare industry and health tech
