About the Role
As the Engineering Manager for “New Vertical”, you’ll build an understanding for people afflicted by this health condition, ensuring that Hinge Health builds a comprehensive end-to-end experience to treat them, run rapid experiments to validate your assumptions and launch a brand new digital care product in the market. You’ll partner closely with senior leadership, Product, Design, and Marketing across our hubs in San Francisco, Montreal, and Bangalore to build a New Vertical of care for a new condition in a new product line. As a hands-on engineering leader, you’ll stay close to the stack, regularly contributing to and reviewing code (~15% of your time) while building a high-performing team around you.
Responsibilities
- Build a team of 5 engineers building across our React Native (Phoenix) mobile codebase and backend services (Go & JS), establishing clear goals, rituals, and expectations for a high-performing team.
- Define the new vertical/product line from scratch.
- Build strong partnerships with Product, Design, and Marketing to align on the strategy, experimentation roadmap, and success metrics.
- Build the “new vertical” product as a minimum loveable product (MLP) defining how to use display software, AI solutions and licensed care providers to deliver a significant health improvement for members.
- Establish a rigorous portfolio of A/B experiments to run post launch of the new product planning for funnel optimizations to ensure success of members.
- Establish engineering best practices for CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, and client performance across the entire stack.
- Have launched the “new vertical” product.
- Execute a series of A/B experiments to increase usage and success of the new product
- Grow and mentor your team, raising the bar on engineering quality, experimentation rigor, and operational excellence.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience managing a team of ~5+ engineers in a fast-paced, product-focused environment.
- AI-native development: Expertise using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI agents as development resources to drastically improve the pace of experimentation, with opinions on prompting, agent review, and harness engineering.
- Strong React Native, mobile, or client-side engineering background — or equivalent depth in a BFF/full-stack web context with a track record of shipping member-facing UI at scale.
- Experience owning and evolving a major product surface end-to-end — from architecture and UX through experimentation and production reliability.
- Demonstrated ability to design, run, and interpret A/B experiments, including comfort reasoning about sample sizes, interference effects, and decision rules.
- React Native: Experience building or leading teams in large React Native codebases, including client performance, render optimization, and app architecture patterns.
- Server-Driven UI: Familiarity with SDUI patterns and the trade-offs of moving layout and presentation logic from client to server.
- Platform mindset: History operating a shared product surface that other teams extend—defining extension contracts, managing inbound requests, and protecting stability.
- GraphQL & modern stacks: Familiarity with GraphQL (caching, BFF patterns, client-driven data-fetching performance), plus working knowledge of Python, TypeScript/Node.js, AWS services (e.g., Lambda, SQS, SNS, SageMaker), and modern DevOps practices.
- Regulated environments: Experience working within healthcare (HIPAA) or other highly regulated domains involving sensitive member data.
