Engineering Manager

Visibly is looking for a battle-tested Engineering Manager to lead our high-performance engineering team. As a "Player-Coach," you will be responsible for the professional growth of our engineers while remaining "hands-on-keys" to help architect and build the future of digital vision care. You will manage a team of high-autonomy Senior Engineers (specializing in Backend, Data, and Cloud Infrastructure). You are the ideal candidate if you still love shipping code but find equal fulfillment in unblocking your team, documenting and following up on engineering processes and documentation, and mentoring the next generation of technical leaders. What You'll Do People Leadership: Manage, mentor, and coach a distributed team of Senior Engineers. You'll build a culture of accountability via documentation, traceability, communication, and efficiency. You will also conduct 1-on-1s, drive performance reviews, and support team members. Technical Planning: Partner with Product and Executive leadership to translate business requirements into technical roadmaps, work items, team goals, and own follow-up and success. You will inform the architecture of our microservices cloud (AWS) environment and ensure our clinical algorithms are scalable. Hands-on Contribution: Spend approximately 40-50% of your time contributing to the codebase. You will lead by example, taking on complex tickets, conducting rigorous PR reviews, and jumping in on mission-critical backend and infrastructure tasks. Compliance: Act as a technical steward for HIPAA, HITRUST, and FDA regulatory standards, ensuring our engineering practices meet the highest bars for data privacy, software validation, and documentation traceability. What We're Looking For Experience: 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2-3 years in a formal people management or team lead role. Full Stack Mastery: Deep technical expertise in Node.js and modern frontend frameworks (React/Signals). You should be comfortable navigating both a legacy Ruby on Rails monolith and modern serverless microservices. Cloud Architecture: Expert-level knowledge of AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway) and microservices architectures. Leadership Style: You know how to empower engineers, maximizing their effectiveness through dynamic leadership, focused on collective outcomes. You aren't afraid to make the final call and win with your team. Communication & "Translator Mindset": Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to engineering teams through written and verbal communication and to non-technical, strategy level stakeholders. Bonus If You Have It Testing Rigor: Deep experience with automated testing methodologies (we use Jest) and a "test-first" mentality. Regulatory Knowledge: Experience working within HIPAA, HITRUST, FDA, or similar regulatory environments and an understanding of software validation and traceability. AI Proficiency: Experience with Generative AI tools, RAG, agents, or machine learning pipelines. Ruby on Rails: Familiarity with Rails-based backends. Salary Range: $185,000.00 - $215,000.00 Annual Bonuses based on company performance Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage Retirement: 401(k) plan Flexible PTO: Generous and flexible vacation policy Remote-First: 100% remote work environment Please note, while this is a fully remote position based in the US, candidates must have substantial overlapping availability during core working hours (8AM-5PM CT).
