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.
