About the role

Senior Engineering Manager responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the Lab Execution Platform (off-the-shelf and in-house), leading a small agile team, and partnering with Lab Operations and R&D to deliver an AI-forward, cloud-native platform that supports high-throughput lab workflows in Women’s Health.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design, build, and maintenance of both the off-the-shelf and custom Lab Execution platforms, keeping high-throughput lab processes running without a hitch.
  • Build an AI-forward team that leverages modern tooling to move faster and ship smarter.
  • Stay hands-on—dive into the code and test the system yourself to make it better.
  • Build and scale cloud-based microservices and front-end applications that power real lab workflows.
  • Set the bar for technical excellence: reliability, performance, and a user experience people actually enjoy.
  • Own the CI/CD pipeline and lock in quality with automated testing.
  • Architect infrastructure that scales effortlessly and stays cost-smart.
  • Be the bridge between engineering and lab users, turning real-time feedback into rapid improvements.
  • Build tight relationships with Lab Operations, R&D, and stakeholders so their needs steer the roadmap.
  • Run a nimble Kanban (or Scrum) workflow that flexes with the lab's evolving needs.
  • Coach and grow a small, agile team, fueling their technical and professional development.
  • Juggle priorities, deadlines, and resources—without dropping the bar on quality.
  • Spark an ownership mindset so every engineer feels the impact of what they ship.
  • Relentlessly streamline how the team works—maximum output, minimum overhead.
  • Champion modular, cloud-native design as the default way you build.
  • Watch performance closely, squash issues before they spread, and keep the platform rock-solid.
