About this role
Function Health is on a mission to detect cancer early for everyone in the world through their AI-powered Full Body MRI service. As an Engineering Team Lead, you will manage a team of engineers to build and operate web platforms, focusing on both people management and technical leadership to ensure reliable and secure product delivery.
Responsibilities:
- Manage ~4 engineers through consistent 1:1s, coaching, and actionable feedback
- Own performance management, goal setting, and career progression (growth plans, leveling conversations, mentorship)
- Lead hiring execution for your team, including structured interview loops and timely feedback
- Own delivery, execution, and day-to-day operation of the team: ceremonies, capacity planning, prioritization, and stakeholder communication
- Ensure work is planned and executed through clear tickets and ownership
- Keep the team unblocked and aligned by translating ambiguity into crisp plans and scoped work
- Own day-to-day technical design and infrastructure decisions for your team. This includes partnering with a Staff Engineer for larger cross-cutting design, architecture, and complex incidents
- Champion quality and release safety (tests, flags/rollouts where needed, monitoring/alerting) and ensure runbooks exist for common operations/incident response
- Ensure your team takes ownership of support and operational work for the domains it builds
Requirements:
- Prior experience managing engineers (or acting as a lead with significant people management scope), including 1:1s, feedback, and performance conversations
- Strong delivery leadership: can run planning, prioritize well, communicate tradeoffs, and keep commitments realistic
- Strong technical judgment in modern web systems (bonus if you've worked with ASP.NET Core / C# and TypeScript/JavaScript in production)
- Comfort operating systems in cloud environments and modern CI/CD practices (Azure preferred)
- Excellent written & verbal communication and a bias for collaboration in a cross-functional, Agile environment
- Experience with DICOM, HL7/FHIR, or other healthcare standards
- Background in security & compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2)
