Boston Scientific is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team of software developers building internal web applications and tools that simplify workflows, reduce manual effort, and unlock business value across the enterprise.

This role sits within an internal applications group that operates with a startup mentality inside Boston Scientific. The team builds fast, iterates often, and delivers practical solutions using an MVP mindset—balancing speed with long‑term maintainability.

This position is a people and execution manager for software engineers. You will be responsible for the health, productivity, and technical execution of the development team, while partnering closely with other stakeholders. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, the ability to make sound architectural decisions, and a genuine interest in growing other engineers through hands‑on guidance. Boston Scientific will not offer sponsorship or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position at this time.

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of software engineers across varying experience levels
• Set clear expectations for quality, ownership, and delivery while fostering a supportive, high‑trust environment
• Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, goal setting, and career development planning
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and team growth as the organization scales

• Lead by example by setting a high bar for code quality, testing, documentation, and maintainability
• Own delivery of software outcomes for the engineering team, ensuring work is completed quickly, correctly, and sustainably
• Guide engineers in building maintainable, testable frontend and backend systems using Vue.js and Django
• Ensure engineers take full ownership of development lifecycle activities including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support
• Provide hands‑on technical mentorship through code reviews, pairing, design discussions, and troubleshooting
• Balance “good enough for now” MVP decisions with long‑term architectural health

• Establish and reinforce simple, lightweight development processes that reduce friction and unnecessary overhead
• Champion agile principles (Scrum/Kanban) with a pragmatic, delivery‑focused mindset
• Remove blockers and shield the team from unnecessary distractions so they can stay focused on high‑impact work
• Continuously improve team workflows, tooling, and development practices

• Partner closely with customers, product owners, designers, and stakeholders to ensure clear requirements and smooth execution
• Translate business needs into executable technical work through strong collaboration and communication
• Act as a technical sounding board for product discussions without owning product prioritization
