Remote
Senior Engineering Manager
About this role
Sift Healthcare is seeking a dynamic and experienced Engineering Manager to lead a small, cross-functional product team. This role requires a strong technical background in front-end engineering, particularly building data-dense applications with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. We are looking ofr a leader who champions AI-driven development and uses coding agents as a core part of how the team ships. Full-stack range is a plus, including familiarity with Python, dbt, and SQL data pipelines so you can partner closely with data engineering.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing direct reports and driving successful product engineering projects. Experience working with PII/PHI/HIPAA data is preferred. RESPONSIBILITIES Lead and manage a team of engineers, providing guidance, mentorship, and support to ensure the team's success. Own the design and delivery of Sift's SMART on FHIR applications — embedded, standards-based, EMR-agnostic experiences (and CDS Hooks where applicable) that surface Sift's scores and recommendations directly within the EMR workflows.
Champion AI-driven development across the team. Set standards for agent-assisted engineering (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), review of AI-generated changes, and keep the codebase legible and well-documented for both humans and agents. Partner with data engineering on the Python, dbt, and SQL pipelines that feed the product, ensuring the frontend and data layers evolve together with quality and reliability. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and prioritize engineering initiatives.
Drive the implementation of best practices across the engineering team, including version control, code reviews, testing, and documentation. Identify opportunities for process improvement and automation to enhance the efficiency of engineering workflows at Sift Healthcare. Manage stakeholder expectations and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences within Sift Healthcare. QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
Proven experience in a senior frontend or full-stack engineering role, with deep hands-on expertise in React, Next.js, and TypeScript — ideally on data-dense or B2B/internal tooling where performance, state management, and accessibility matter. Hands-on experience building SMART on FHIR applications — including the SMART/OAuth2 launch and authorization flow, working with FHIR R4 resources, and embedding apps within EMR workflows (CDS Hooks experience a plus).
