Senior Engineering Manager - Population Health & AI

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 expanding from our core obesity treatment program into a broader cardiometabolic health platform, pairing board-certified clinicians with AI-augmented tools and patient experiences that improve outcomes across chronic conditions. Engineering is central to this mission: we build AI capabilities, and product experiences—leveraging technologies like LLMs (via AWS Bedrock), event-driven services, and modern web and mobile frameworks—to power modern clinical care.

We’re hiring a Software Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for building AI-enabled care delivery workflows, agentic patient and provider experiences, and the backend systems that support our growing cardiometabolic programs. You’ll guide a team of senior full-stack engineers working at the intersection of healthcare, AI/LLMs, and operational automation—delivering safe, incremental, high-impact improvements to the care journey.

You will report to the Senior Director of Engineering and collaborate across engineering, product, design, operations, and clinical teams. This is a fully remote role open to candidates located anywhere in the United States.

What you will do:

Lead a High-Impact Team Building AI-Enabled Care Delivery

• Manage and grow a team of full-stack engineers shipping AI-powered workflows for patients and providers.
• Guide development of agentic experiences using LLMs and AI-assisted workflows (via platforms such as AWS Bedrock) that support care plan adherence, clinical decision support, patient engagement, and provider efficiency.
• Ensure AI features always keep a human-in-the-loop, honoring our core value Put Patients First by designing systems that amplify clinical judgment—not replace it.
• Instill best practices for AI safety, guardrails, evaluation, monitoring, and responsible deployment.

Accelerate Our Cardiometabolic Platform Expansion

• Partner with clinicians and product leaders to translate emerging cardiometabolic care needs (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, metabolic risk) into actionable engineering work.
• Build backend services and tools that automate care delivery, streamline clinical workflows, and enable longitudinal patient support.
• Develop scalable systems that support the growth of new care programs while integrating seamlessly with Form Health’s existing platform.
• Build and evolve backend services and APIs using Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and GraphQL to support scalable, secure, and maintainable care delivery workflows.

Drive Engineering Excellence, Velocity & Safety

• Uphold a culture of small-batch iteration, safe rollouts, feature-flagged releases, progressive delivery, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure reliability and operational excellence and tech debt management.
• Collaborate with engineering leaders to establish architectural patterns that balance rapid iteration with long-term maintainability.
• Guide teams building and operating services on AWS, including EKS and Lambda, with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and safe deployment practices.
• Support web and mobile experiences built with React, Next.js, React Native, and TypeScript, ensuring architectural consistency across the platform.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Strategy

• Work closely with product, design, clinical, and operations partners to define roadmaps that deliver measurable patient and provider value.
• Translate complex requirements into simple, iterative milestones that deliver value early and often.
• Provide clarity and structure in ambiguous problem spaces—whether designing new AI-assisted workflows or refining clinical tools.

Team Development & Mentorship

• Coach and mentor engineers in both technical execution and cross-functional leadership.
• Create growth opportunities through thoughtful delegation, feedback, and collaborative planning.
• Foster a culture grounded in empathy, ownership, and mission alignment.

About You

You are an engineering leader who blends hands-on technical ability with strong people leadership. You’ve managed and grown high-performing teams, shipped AI-enabled features to production, and thrive in fast-moving environments where safety, reliability, and incremental delivery matter.

You bring experience such as:

• Managing and growing full-stack engineering teams
• Contributing hands-on to architecture, code, and reviews
• Delivering AI/LLM-powered features with human-in-the-loop safety
• Working in or alongside healthcare or other regulated environments
• Applying engineering best practices—small-batch iteration, feature flags, safe rollouts, continuous improvement, and thoughtful tech debt management
• Working closely with product and senior leadership to shape strategy and roadmap
• Communicating clearly across technical and clinical stakeholders and leading with empathy and ownership

Your Impact

Your contributions will have a massive impact building a world-class product, service, and team. We support patients in their weight loss journey and their clinical care teams with integrated chronic care and a mobile app with features like:

• Secure, HIPAA-compliant meal photo sharing, video chat visits, and text messaging
• Personalized content delivery (meal plans, timely resources, daily tips)
• Data collection and visualization
• A/B experiments and feature flags to deliver and measure impact continuously
• Much more on our roadmap!

More about Form Health’s benefits:

• Competitive salary and equity in a high growth start-up
• Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision) 
• 401k program
• Flexible work schedules and paid time off
• Paid parental leave

Form Health’s commitment to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment:

Form Health is committed to creating a culture and environment that celebrates diversity and inclusion, while fostering safety and belonging.
