Senior Engineering Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Akido is rebuilding the healthcare experience from the ground up. Through early interventions designed around social determinants of health (SDoH), world-class care focused on chronic disease, and human-centered technology, we believe we can build a healthcare model that allows for all patients to live their fullest lives. We are a fast-growing, impact-focused, Y Combinator company created out of the University of Southern California's D-Health Lab with the idea that empowering government, healthcare, and nonprofit services with population-based data could help usher in a new era of preventive public health. Today we are building a full stack medical network that leverages our predictive capabilities to provide a frictionless experience for both our patients and care providers.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a distributed team of 5–7 full-stack, frontend, and backend engineers. This role is ideal for someone with proven experience managing engineering teams, who has also thrived as a senior or principal-level individual contributor in a strong engineering culture. You will be responsible for guiding technical direction, driving execution, and ensuring operational excellence while fostering growth and collaboration across your team and the broader engineering organization.

What You'll Do

• Lead, mentor, and coach a team of full-stack, frontend, and backend engineers.
• Drive delivery of high-quality, customer-facing product features and improvements.
• Provide strong technical oversight through design reviews, code reviews, and process adherence.
• Contribute to small coding tasks or proofs-of-concept as needed.
• Identify technical risks, areas of refactoring, and opportunities for improving developer productivity and software quality.
• Ensure operational excellence in production, including reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Partner with product, design, and other stakeholders to align on priorities and execution.
• Recruit, interview, and onboard new engineering team members, including offshore and nearshore contractors.
• Influence and elevate engineering practices across the broader organization, not just within your direct team.
