Engineering Manager, Program Engablement

The Opportunity

Hinge Health is building a digital clinic that can support more than one kind of care. The Program Enablement Platform (PEP) team helps make that possible by turning one-off program engineering into shared, configurable capabilities. These capabilities help product teams create and evolve care programs faster, with less duplicated logic and fewer costly integrations across services.

As Engineering Manager for PEP, you will lead engineers building a business-domain platform in close partnership with the teams that use it. You will help set technical direction, keep the team focused on real product and business needs, and drive adoption of capabilities that make new care experiences easier to build. Early use cases include more flexible program models and support for new care areas, including concurrent care and gastrointestinal care.

What You’ll Accomplish

In your first 3 months, you will:

• Build trusted partnerships with your product and engineering partners, including the teams that depend on PEP. Learn their needs, the current program architecture, and the technical and organizational constraints shaping the platform.

• Review PEP’s roadmap, existing capabilities, and partner requests. Establish a clear way to assess tradeoffs, communicate priorities, and make ownership and decisions explicit.

• Work with the team to identify a focused, high-value use case. Align on the problem, the smallest useful platform capability, the partner responsibilities, and how success will be measured.

• Stay close to the code and architecture through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on contributions appropriate to the team’s needs.

In your first 6 months, you will:

• Guide delivery of a platform capability that addresses a concrete partner-team problem and reduces repeated, program-specific engineering work.

• Define practical contribution and engagement patterns so partner teams know how to request support, collaborate with PEP, and extend shared capabilities without unnecessary coordination overhead.

• Partner with domain teams to plan and drive adoption. Validate that the platform is useful in real workflows, learn from migration friction, and adjust the solution based on feedback.

• Help the team make program creation and lifecycle behavior more configurable, while keeping domain-specific logic with the appropriate domain teams.

In your first year, you will:

• Help establish PEP as a trusted, product-minded platform team with a clear roadmap, working model, and measurable outcomes for its partner teams.

• Improve the ability to launch care programs through reusable building blocks, reducing duplicated logic and integration effort as the platform is adopted.

• Advance platform capabilities for flexible program lifecycles and transitions, informed by real use cases such as concurrent care and new care areas.

• Grow and develop a high-performing engineering team through hiring, mentorship, and career development, while maintaining a strong bar for technical quality and operational reliability.

Who You Are

• A technically credible engineering leader. You stay close to the code, contribute to architecture and design decisions, and earn trust through sound technical judgment while enabling the team to do its best work.

• A platform thinker with product instincts. You understand that a useful platform solves real problems for its users. You can find the right abstraction without overbuilding or pushing complexity onto partner teams.

• An adoption-minded operator. You know that a capability creates value when teams can and do use it. You work with partner teams on migration, communicate tradeoffs, and follow through on outcomes.

• A clear, collaborative partner. You make ownership, decisions, and expectations explicit across engineering, product, and domain teams. You can align people around shared goals without relying on authority alone.

• An accountable leader. You balance near-term delivery with durable platform investments, and you use evidence and partner feedback to adapt the roadmap.
