Senior Manager of Engineering

Join Strive as a Senior Manager of Engineering, where you will lead and develop a team of Software and Data Engineers, drive engineering delivery process health, and accelerate AI-assisted development capabilities. You will partner with the VP of Engineering to co-create engineering strategy and represent the engineering function in cross-functional forums. Additionally, you will manage hiring, headcount planning, and team structure for the engineering function. Enjoy a range of benefits including health insurance, flexible work arrangements, paid time off, and professional development opportunities.

• Lead and develop a team of Software and Data Engineers, providing coaching, performance feedback, and career development guidance.
• Own engineering delivery process health across teams, including sprint goal stewardship, sprint capacity planning, and cross-team delivery accountability.
• Drive adoption of quality engineering standards and accelerate the team’s AI-assisted development capabilities to improve engineering throughput.
• Internet Connectivity - Min Speeds: 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down): Latency <60 ms
• 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams, including direct accountability for performance management, career development, and hiring
• High school diploma or GED equivalent
• 9+ years combined of related education, experience, or certification in software engineering, data engineering, or a closely related field
• Ability to travel and be onsite to meet business needs
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field
• Experience leading mixed-discipline teams spanning both software and data engineering
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and a track record of driving team adoption of new tooling
• Familiarity with healthcare data standards and systems (e.g., HL7, FHIR, EHR/EMR platforms, claims data)
• Experience with Agile delivery models (Scrum and/or Kanban) and coaching teams on delivery discipline
• Cloud-native engineering background, preferably on AWS
• Working knowledge of the data stack: partner files, schemas, configs, dbt/models, and AWS services (S3, Bedrock, Step Functions, Redshift, RDS)
• Technical leadership in execution, meaning you unblock others by clarifying scope, priority, and next steps
• You hold yourself and your team to clear expectations and follow through — delivery discipline isn’t bureaucracy to you, it’s respect for the business and the patients we serve
• You’re comfortable operating without a Director layer between you and the VP — you take initiative, make decisions with appropriate autonomy, and bring the right level of signal upward
• You find more satisfaction in seeing your engineers grow than in writing code yourself — people development is your primary lever
• You see Strive’s current scale as an opportunity to build the right patterns early, before they become harder to change
• You’re energized by the mission — you connect engineering craft to patient and clinician outcomes, not just technical metrics
• You give direct, timely performance feedback to your engineers — including hard conversations about gaps and growth edges — and you don’t wait for formal review cycles to do it
