Engineering Manager Tech Lead

Are you looking for a role in a company that's solving one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime? Ophelia helps people end their opioid use and restore their quality of life with respect for their time and dignity. Our mission is to make evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) accessible to everyone... and we're looking to bring more people onto our team to help us achieve it.

Ophelia is a venture-backed, healthcare startup that helps individuals with OUD by providing FDA-approved medication and clinical care through a telehealth platform. Our approach is discreet, convenient, and affordable. We've been successfully operating in 14 states for almost six years and we're excited to continue our growth. We are a team of physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers and White House advisors, backed by leading technology and healthcare investors working to re-imagine and re-build OUD treatment in America.

About The Role

As an Engineering Manager I at Ophelia, you’ll play a key role in developing innovative, compliant solutions to support our mission of treating opioid use disorder through telehealth. You'll be a hands-on technical leader and manage a team of 2-5 full-stack software engineers who build and maintain our core web applications written in Typescript, React, and Firebase on GCP. You’ll ensure that your team maintains the highest quality standards across all projects, improve code architecture, and foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Your work will have a direct impact on patients, clinicians, and our ability to scale.

In this role, you’ll mentor and develop the engineers on your team, promote a culture of innovation and excellence, and be a tech lead who works side-by-side with them through the full product cycle—from inception to results—making direct code contributions and taking responsibility for your team’s work quality and delivery goals. You'll collaborate closely with your Product and Design counterparts, as well as various cross-functional teams, including clinicians and non-technical stakeholders, to ensure our products meet the needs of both users and the business.

Flexibility will be key, as you will help tackle ambiguous challenges in a fast-evolving, growth-stage company.

Other responsibilities include continuously improving our systems and team processes, while advocating for projects that help improve code architecture, quality, and performance and drive business results, through insightful use of AI technologies and traditional approaches. With support from your Director, peers, and our People team, you'll manage the performance evaluation of your team members, including promotions, performance improvement plans, and, when necessary, termination.

Your role also involves staying up-to-date on emerging industry trends and technologies, including but not limited to AI in our products and development processes, bringing new ideas to drive innovation in product design and development.

Together, we will help hard-to-reach individuals treat their opioid dependence. While direct experience in this treatment area is not mandatory, knowledge of the healthcare space, including understanding health outcomes, benchmarks, systems, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA), is highly beneficial.
