About the Role Artera’s Engineering team is looking for a talented Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team of 4-6 engineers with scope that may expand to multiple teams as business needs evolve. The team is a high-impact, flexible squad that intersects with multiple teams across the organization to handle integrations, authentication, and critical government contract work. You will be directly responsible for ensuring your agile team delivers with high quality and velocity, acting as a "player coach" who is willing to be hands-on to ensure clear accountability and a high technical bar. This is an exciting opportunity to influence decisions across the broader engineering organization and drive organizational effectiveness and scalability beyond a single team. \n Responsibilities Team Development: Coach, mentor, and guide engineers in technical skills, career growth, and communication, ensuring a continuous focus on building and scaling high-performing individuals. Technical Leadership: Uphold a high technical bar through rigorous code reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making. Foster strong security and compliance practices, and stay hands-on with the code when needed to support delivery and set the standard. Hiring & Retention: Conduct interviews and build stable, high-performing teams, specifically focusing on providing stability for a team that has seen recent management rotations. Operational Excellence: Review existing processes and proactively offer improvements rather than just following established workflows. Execution & Delivery: Own outcomes end-to-end. Ensure tradeoffs are explicit, commitments are met, and misses are identified early through proactive escalation. Strategic Collaboration: Partner in a Triad structure with Product and Design. Navigate the team through a fast-paced environment with constant change and shifting priorities, including AI-assisted development. Accountability: Ensure that leadership is never surprised by team status and that a deep level of trust is built with the engineers. Player-Coach Mindset: Maintain a "must-have" mindset for hands-on work; while not coding daily, you are ready to step into the code to unblock the team or expedite delivery. Requirements Engineering Experience: 6+ years of experience in software engineering; Strong preference for React, Typescript, Node.js and Postgres SQL Management Experience: 3+ year managing, coaching and developing agile software engineering teams in a SaaS environment. AI Champion: A champion for modern AI tooling and process improvements, with a proven ability to evangelize and drive AI-assisted development practices across engineering teams. Communication: Exceptional organizational and communication skills, necessary for cross-functional work among teams. Adaptability: Proven ability to remain effective and lead teams through evolving project scopes and organizational changes. Location: Ability to work from one of our hiring hubs with minimal travel requirements, approximately 1 to 2 times per year. Technical Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience. Bonus Experience Experience with FedRAMP compliance or government contract work. Security governance and infrastructure experience. Experience with Nest.js and Python HealthTech or highly regulated industry experience. \n $140,000 - $215,000 a year The compensation for this role will be based on level of experience and the geographic tier in which you are located. This position also comes with equity and a variety of benefits. \n Security Requirements for Engineering Positions This engineering role contributes to a secure, federally compliant platform.

Specific roles may call out location preferences when relevant. As our hubs grow, we may establish local offices to further enhance in-person connection and collaboration. While there are no current plans in place, should an office open in your area, we anticipate implementing a hybrid model. Any future attendance expectations would be developed thoughtfully, considering factors like typical commute times and access to public transit, to ensure they are fair and practical for the local team.
