Engineering Manager

Form Health is a virtual obesity medicine clinic delivering multi-disciplinary evidence-based obesity treatment through telemedicine. Obesity impacts more than 40% of the US adult population, and although historically only about 1% of patients received medical treatment for their disease, the field of Obesity Medicine is entering a period of rapid growth. Form Health provides high-quality expert care and leverages technology to enhance the patient experience. All Form Health patients work closely with their care team, which includes board certified physicians, advanced practice professionals and Registered Dietitians. Through our proprietary mobile app patients engage in regular video visits, as well as text messaging, photo journaling, digital data transmission, and customized educational materials. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of clinical care, and to treating every individual with empathy and respect. 

Founded in 2019, Form Health is a venture-backed innovative startup with an experienced clinical and leadership team. Our mission is to empower patients and be leaders in Obesity Medicine driving impact at a national scale. We are deeply invested in our core value to put patients first, and also deeply committed to creating a culture where every employee is valued and we learn and improve together.

About the Role:

Form Health is building a clinical-grade care platform that powers longitudinal obesity and cardiometabolic treatment at national scale. The software we build directly impacts how clinicians deliver care, how teams coordinate work, and how patients experience safe, effective treatment. We’re hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a small (but growing) team responsible for delivering high-impact systems that support clinical workflows, operational tooling, and intelligent care delivery. In this role, you will combine strong people leadership with technical depth. You’ll guide engineers working on complex, safety-sensitive systems—ensuring reliable execution, thoughtful architecture, and incremental delivery in a regulated healthcare environment. This role will report into our Senior Director of Software Engineering, but will partner closely with product, clinical, and operational leaders to translate evolving care needs into scalable software. 

This is a fully remote role open to candidates located anywhere in the United States.

What you will do:

Team Leadership & Execution

• Lead, coach, and grow a small team (2-3 people initially) of engineers delivering business-critical clinical and operational systems
• Establish clear goals and execution plans aligned with product and company priorities
• Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Provide direct feedback, mentorship, and career development for engineers at multiple levels
• Hire thoughtfully to strengthen team capability and long-term scalability

Technical Leadership

• Guide architectural decisions for backend services, workflows, integrations, and internal tools
• Partner closely with Staff engineers to ensure systems are reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable
• Maintain strong technical fluency across systems built with technologies such as Ruby on Rails, Node.js, GraphQL, React / Next.js, and AWS-based infrastructure
• Ensure healthy CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment practices that support incremental delivery
• Identify technical risks early and lead mitigation strategies before they impact care delivery

Clinical Workflow & Intelligent Systems

• Oversee development of systems that support clinical charting, scheduling, task management, care coordination, automation, and intelligent workflow enhancements
• Ensure systems operate safely within healthcare constraints and regulatory requirements
  Support thoughtful integration of automation and AI capabilities where appropriate, always prioritizing human oversight and patient safety

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner closely with product, clinical, and operations leaders to define roadmaps and deliver measurable impact
• Translate complex, evolving business and clinical requirements into clear engineering plans
• Provide structure and clarity in ambiguous problem spaces
• Balance speed of delivery with operational reliability and long-term platform health

About You

You are an experienced engineering leader who blends hands-on technical depth with strong people leadership. You’ve managed high-performing teams and guided engineers through the delivery of complex, production-grade systems.

You bring experience such as:

• 5+ years of experience managing engineering teams
• Prior experience as a senior or staff-level engineer before moving into management
• Leading delivery of complex backend or workflow-heavy systems in production
• Operating in fast-moving or high-growth environments where priorities evolve
• Establishing strong engineering practices around incremental delivery, feature flags, testing, and operational excellence
• Partnering closely with product and domain experts to shape execution plans
• Communicating effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Encouraging teams to thoughtfully leverage AI-powered developer tools to improve productivity while maintaining strong engineering rigor
• Experience in healthcare, clinical systems, workflow tooling, AI-enabled products, or other regulated domains is a strong plus, but not required

Your Impact

Your leadership will directly shape how Form Health delivers care at scale. You’ll help build systems that support:

• Secure, HIPAA-compliant patient communication and care delivery
• Reliable clinical and operational workflows
• Scalable revenue and infrastructure systems
• Intelligent, adaptive product experiences
• Safe, incremental experimentation and continuous improvement
