Engineering Manager

Maven is the leading women’s and family healthcare company. Named the #1 Most Innovative Company in Health by Fast Company in 2020, Maven advances women’s health, family planning, and diversity in the workforce by empowering parents to plan or start a family while growing their careers.

Maven is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager in our New York City office to lead a talented and passionate group of engineers. As an Engineering Manager, you’ll play a foundational role in building the Maven platform. You will work with a strong cross-functional team between engineering, product, design, care advocates, and our provider operation teams. Prior experience in healthcare settings is a nice-to-have, not a requirement. Strong people management and task management skills are a must have.

As an Engineering Manager at Maven, your core responsibilities include:

• Spend approximately:
  • One third of your time recruiting new team members,
  • One third of your time mentoring and building the existing team, and
  • One third of your time planning architecture, prioritization, and working with your product manager peers to maintain a high velocity for your engineering team.
• Manage a cross-functional team of 4-8 engineers
• Recruit, interview, and onboard new team members
• Train, mentor and conduct regular reviews for engineers at different stages of their careers, building them into happy and productive engineers with long career trajectories at Maven
• Scope projects to build our development roadmaps
• Collect technical, product, and design requirements for current and future projects
• Empower your team to build scalable and secure systems for Maven’s users, both medical professionals and patients
• Foster the curiosity and empathy of your team
• Work with cross-functional peers in product management, design, and operations

We’re looking for someone to bring core capabilities to our team: 

• 3+ years of experience in a team management capacity, ideally a team of 4+ engineers
• 6+ total years of professional software development experience on production-quality products
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience building and maintaining a complex set of systems
• Experience working with product leads to deliver on time and on target
• Experience working within some form of privacy, security, or regulatory constraints

Helpful experiences and backgrounds: 

Maven is intentionally built using a tried-and-true technology stack that is easy to learn if you are not familiar with all of these.

• Python
• Flask
• SQLAlchemy
• Google Cloud Platform (Kubernetes)
• React

At Maven, we believe that a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences enrich our teams and allow us to achieve above and beyond our goals. If you do not have experience in all of the areas detailed above, we hope that you will share your unique background with us in your application and how it can be additive to our teams.

Benefits & Perks: 

Mavens are united in their quest to improve the health and well-being of women and their families in our community.
