Senior Manager of Engineering (Mobile Apps)

Join Beacon, a leading health tech company, as a Senior Manager of Engineering for our Mobile Apps team. In this role, you will lead the development of patient-facing experiences, manage a team of engineers and a product manager, and drive the technical direction of our mobile apps. You will work closely with product design, device engineering, and other platform teams to deliver exceptional mobile experiences that meet user needs and regulatory standards. This position reports directly to the VP of Platform.

• Manage and develop a team of engineers and a product manager, coaching them through meaningful growth opportunities and guiding them through technical and professional challenges.
• Own the team's technical direction across our React Native cross-platform apps and our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) BLE device SDKs, making sound architectural tradeoffs and staying current on platform advancements.
• Drive a clear, outcome-oriented roadmap aligned with Beacon's company objectives, integrated with adjacent platform teams, and communicated transparently to stakeholders across the organization.
• Experience leading teams through ambiguity and cross-functional complexity, balancing competing stakeholder priorities while maintaining team momentum and morale
• Experience operating in a regulated industry is a strong plus, with practical knowledge of how to move effectively within design controls and quality frameworks
• Clear, decisive communication: once you've made a call, you follow through and keep stakeholders informed; when plans change, you communicate quickly and with context
• Honest, continuous attention to planning horizon and estimation uncertainty across all active initiatives
• A bias toward simplicity and right-sized process; you know when to add structure and when it gets in the way
• A track record of celebrating the career development of direct reports, taking performance management seriously, and hiring strong talent
• A proven track record managing mid-sized mobile or consumer-facing engineering teams, with clear examples of how your leadership influenced both team health and product outcomes
• Strong mobile engineering depth sufficient to guide architectural tradeoffs across React Native, Swift, and Kotlin — including hardware-adjacent concerns like BLE, sensor integration, or device SDKs. You don't need to be the best coder on the team, but you need to engage at a technical level and drive decisions with confidence
