Our client is a mission-driven telehealth company focused on expanding access to treatment for opioid use disorder. They build compliant, patient- and clinician-facing software that supports care delivery  work is high-trust, outcomes-driven, and deeply tied to reliability, privacy, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA).

Our client is hiring an Engineering Manager I to lead a team of 2–5 full-stack engineers building and maintaining core web applications. This is a true player/coach role with a 50–70% hands-on coding expectation (and 30–50% leadership), depending on business needs and team maturity. You'll be responsible for delivery quality, architecture improvements, engineering standards, and day-to-day mentorship—working side-by-side with your team across the full product lifecycle from idea → implementation → measurable results.
