Software Engineering Senior Manager
Position Overview
We are seeking a Software Engineering Senior Manager to lead the design, development, and delivery of Gen AI and modern cloud-native applications leveraging cutting-edge technologies. This role requires strong technical leadership, hands-on experience, and the ability to mentor teams in building scalable, secure, and high-performing enterprise solutions. You will drive engineering excellence, foster innovation, and ensure alignment with enterprise cloud strategies.
As a Senior Engineering Manager specializing in Generative AI, the role blends traditional engineering leadership with deep AI expertise and a strategic mindset. The manager is expected to:
Responsibilities
Drive GenAI Strategy: Develop and articulate a clear vision for how GenAI can deliver business value. This includes identifying high-impact use cases with measurable ROI, such as enhancing customer experiences or optimizing internal operations.
Bridge Technical and Business Domains: Translate complex AI concepts into actionable business insights. Serve as a liaison between engineering teams and executive leadership, ensuring alignment on goals, risks, and opportunities.
Manage Executive Expectations: Balance innovation with realistic execution. Focus on delivering measurable outcomes while building the infrastructure needed for long-term AI success. This role requires a forward-thinking leader who can guide teams through the evolving GenAI landscape, ensuring that innovation is both strategic and sustainable.
Team Management & Mentorship: Build and mentor high-performing engineering teams across multiple technology domains. Promote a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and best practices.
Required Experience & Education:

• 13 - 16 years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years in a leadership role.
• Technical Expertise: Proficiency in Python and AWS is a must. Exposure to Generative AI -- either through hands-on experience or solid foundational knowledge -- is also essential. We're keen to evaluate their approach to solutioning, adherence to engineering best practices, and overall technical depth.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage complex technical initiatives.
• Design Thinking: Ability to architect and design scalable solutions. We'll assess how they approach system design when presented with real-world scenarios.
• Leadership & Management Skills: Proven experience in managing teams, driving delivery against timelines, resource planning, and handling complex project scenarios. We're interested in understanding how they've led teams through ambiguity and change.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex issues and implement effective solutions.
• Domain Knowledge: Experience in healthcare is preferred. However, if the candidate isn't from a healthcare background, they should demonstrate a strong aptitude to learn and ideally have done some groundwork to understand the US healthcare ecosystem.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management abilities. We'll be looking for how they foster team culture and engage with cross-functional teams.
• Education: Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field.
