Software Developer Manager

About the Role ProMedix Health is a virtual care platform serving patients managing chronic conditions and the clinical teams who care for them — delivering remote patient monitoring, care coordination, and telehealth services backed by a serverless AWS infrastructure. We are looking for a Software Development Manager with a specific and deliberate combination of skills: proven engineering team leadership and hands-on frontend and UX engineering experience. This role requires both. We are specifically looking for candidates who have managed engineering teams and have direct, hands-on experience building frontend interfaces and UX systems. If your background is exclusively in engineering management, this role is not the right fit. If you are a strong frontend or UX engineer who has never managed a team, this role is not the right fit either. Strong candidates will have done both and will recognize themselves in this description.

The reason this combination matters:

ProMedix is a clinical platform where the quality of the user experience directly affects patient outcomes and clinician workflows. We need a manager who can hold the team accountable to engineering standards and who can look at a React Native screen or an Angular component and immediately recognize a UX problem — not just a code problem. Those two capabilities rarely come from the same person, and we are looking for the exception. You will manage a team of front-end, mobile, and full-stack engineers; own the Agile sprint cycle; establish code quality, testing, security, and documentation standards; and bring genuine UX engineering fluency to every release decision. You do not need to write production features daily, but you must be technically and experientially fluent across all of it.

The platform spans three codebases:

a Python 3 / AWS Lambda / PostgreSQL backend, an Angular 19 staff-facing web dashboard, and a patient mobile app currently migrating from Ionic 5 to React Native with Expo. What You'll Work On Engineering Team Leadership Directly manage a team of front-end, mobile, and full-stack engineers — conduct regular 1:1s, set clear expectations, provide ongoing feedback, and support each engineer's professional growth Own hiring support for the engineering team — participate in interviews, evaluate technical assessments, and help make offer decisions Foster a team culture of accountability, craft, and continuous improvement Identify skill gaps on the team and work with leadership to address them through hiring, training, or mentorship Sprint Management Own the full Agile sprint cycle — facilitate sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives Maintain and groom the sprint backlog in coordination with product and clinical operations stakeholders — ensure stories are well-defined, sized, and ready before planning Track sprint velocity and delivery commitments; proactively surface risks before they become misses Report sprint status clearly to company leadership — what shipped, what slipped, and why Code Quality, PR Standards & Release Documentation Establish and enforce the team's definition of done — what must be true before a pull request is approved and merged Own the PR review process: set review standards, ensure reviews happen promptly, and participate in reviews yourself where your technical depth adds value Own release documentation — ensure that every code release is accompanied by accurate, complete, and up-to-date documentation: release notes, changelog entries, API or schema changes, environment configuration changes, and any migration steps required; documentation is a required deliverable, not an afterthought Maintain a living internal knowledge base covering system architecture, service dependencies, deployment procedures, and known operational quirks — updated as part of every sprint, not retroactively Identify and manage technical debt — maintain a running backlog of debt items, advocate for dedicated debt reduction capacity in sprint planning, and prevent short-term shortcuts from compounding Enforce consistent coding standards across Python, TypeScript/Angular, and React Native codebases Quality & Testing Own the team's testing strategy across all three platforms — unit tests (pytest, Karma/Jasmine), BDD/integration tests (Behave, Gauge), and end-to-end test coverage Establish and enforce minimum test coverage requirements as a hard gate before PR approval Work with engineers to ensure CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) catch failures before they reach staging or production Champion a quality-first mindset — the team should find bugs before users do Security, Compliance & Performance Testing Own the engineering team's responsibility for application security — ensure OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities are addressed in the development and code review process, not discovered post-release Maintain and enforce HIPAA technical safeguard requirements at the code level: encryption of PHI at rest and in transit, audit logging of access to patient data, automatic session timeouts, and secure credential handling across all three platforms Oversee dependency and vulnerability management — ensure third-party libraries are regularly scanned for CVEs and that critical vulnerabilities are patched on a defined SLA Establish and own a recurring stress and load testing program — validate platform performance under peak clinical load before major releases Coordinate security and penetration testing engagements — scope, schedule, and drive remediation of findings to closure Partner with the DevOps/infrastructure team on AWS security configuration (IAM least-privilege, secrets management, network security groups) without owning the infrastructure directly UX Engineering Oversight Review UI components and screens for consistency, accessibility, and clinical usability — not just functional correctness; UX quality is part of the definition of done Own UX standards across both platforms: form validation patterns, error and loading states, empty states, navigation consistency, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and data visualization legibility (Chart.js vital sign trends, health score graphs) Be the person who can look at a React Native screen or Angular component and identify a UX problem, explain why it matters to a patient or clinician, and give an engineer clear, actionable direction to fix it Partner with product and clinical operations stakeholders on UX decisions — bring engineering perspective to design conversations and design perspective to engineering conversations Cross-Functional Coordination Serve as the primary liaison between the engineering team, clinical operations, and company leadership on all delivery and capacity questions Translate business and clinical requirements into engineering workload, identify dependencies, and set realistic timelines Manage stakeholder expectations on scope, schedule, and trade-offs with clarity and consistency Required Skills Leadership & Management Demonstrated experience managing software engineers directly — 1:1s, performance feedback, and team accountability Track record of running Agile/Scrum ceremonies as the person responsible for delivery, not just a participant Ability to have difficult conversations — with an underperforming engineer, a stakeholder pushing unrealistic scope, or a team that missed a commitment Clear, structured communicator — written and verbal — across both technical and non-technical audiences Technical Depth Solid software engineering background — enough to review pull requests meaningfully, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and recognize when an implementation approach will cause problems Familiarity with Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript — comfortable reading code in both languages even if not writing production features daily Understanding of REST and GraphQL API design patterns and how front-end and backend teams coordinate on them Git-based workflow expertise — branching strategies, PR processes, merge standards, release management Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines — how automated testing, linting, and deployment gates are configured and maintained (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) Familiarity with AWS services at a conceptual level — Lambda, RDS, AppSync, S3, Cognito — enough to participate in infrastructure discussions without owning them UX Engineering Fluency Direct, hands-on frontend experience — you have personally built UI components and screens, not only managed engineers who did; this is the background that makes UX oversight credible Familiarity with component libraries and design systems — you know what good looks like, can identify inconsistency across a product, and can enforce standards with engineers in specific terms Working knowledge of Figma or equivalent — enough to read a design spec, identify gaps or ambiguities before an engineer starts building, and give clear direction when specs are incomplete Accessibility awareness at the implementation level —
