Senior Engineering Manager, Device Software

About the role

Hinge Health is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a software engineering team within Hardware R&D. This role involves overseeing a team that works on the software systems behind a connected medical device experience, blending consumer software, connected devices, clinical workflows, and regulated product delivery.

Responsibilities

• Build a deep understanding of our device ecosystem, including FDA-regulated device software, BLE connectivity, mobile and backend platforms, and clinical and operational workflows supporting them.
• Establish clear team priorities, execution rhythms, and ways of working, including backlog quality, sprint planning, delivery goals, and retrospectives.
• Partner closely with Product, Clinical, Regulatory, Hardware Engineering, Data, Member Support, and Quality/Compliance teams to align on goals, constraints, and quality expectations.
• In your first 3 months:
  • Orchestrate large cross-functional programs spanning device, mobile, backend, and operations, proactively uncovering corner cases and non-functional risks (reliability, security, performance, scalability).
  • Drive technical strategy across mobile, backend, device-control, and BLE surfaces to support rapid product iteration and long-term maintainability.
  • Establish strong quality and compliance practices for regulated software, including structured review points with regulatory and quality partners, release gating, tech debt paydown plans, and operational feedback loops.
  • Lead a team that owns production health in an on-call, continuous delivery environment, improving incident response, observability, and reliability over time.
• In your first 6 months:
  • Translate member pain points, support signals, and product goals into engineering investments that improve reliability, reduce support burden, and strengthen the member experience for our device products.
  • Lead the software roadmap in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, balancing member experience, technical quality, operational reliability, and regulatory constraints across the platform.
  • Hire, coach, and develop engineers and emerging technical leaders, building a high-performance, high-accountability culture within a complex and high-ambiguity remit.
  • Contribute beyond your immediate team through interview design, leveling clarity, process improvements, and broader engineering stewardship across Hardware R&D and the wider engineering organization.
• In your first year:
  • Continue to translate member needs into engineering investments, ensuring the platform supports rapid product iteration while maintaining high standards for reliability, scalability, and compliance.
  • Lead the software roadmap in close partnership with cross-functional stakeholders, balancing member experience, technical quality, operational reliability, and regulatory constraints across the platform.
  • Hire, coach, and develop engineers and emerging leaders, building a high-performance, high-accountability culture within a complex and high-ambiguity remit.
  • Contribute beyond your immediate team through interview design, leveling clarity, process improvements, and broader engineering stewardship across Hardware R&D and the wider engineering organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience leading and managing engineering teams, including managing 5+ direct reports through hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• Experience delivering production software for connected devices, BLE-enabled systems, device-control flows, or in close partnership with firmware and hardware teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with healthcare, HIPAA, GDPR, FDA-regulated products, or other software in regulated environments.
• Track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs in environments with high quality, reliability, or compliance expectations.
• Familiarity with modern mobile, backend, and platform systems, for example technologies such as React Native, Python, TypeScript, GraphQL, Docker, AWS, Postgres, Redis, or comparable systems.
• Experience building test infrastructure, simulation layers, or developer productivity tooling for complex, distributed systems.
• Experience leading teams that own production health in an on-call, continuous delivery environment.
• Experience using AI-assisted prototyping or engineering workflows thoughtfully in product development.
