We’re seeking a skilled Senior Engineer Manager to join our team!
Machinify is seeking a technically deep and inspiring Engineering Manager to lead our Subrogation product team. This is a newly formed team scaling to 5–6 engineers over the next year, requiring a hands-on technical leader to establish strong engineering foundations from the outset and build a high-caliber team from the ground up. You bring a strong track record of recruiting and hiring top-tier engineering talent, with the instincts and rigor to assess for both technical depth and long-term fit. You see hiring as a core leadership responsibility, not a task to delegate, and you're energized by the opportunity to shape team culture, calibrate the bar, and partner closely with recruiting to bring in engineers who will define what this team becomes.
Our team builds end-to-end AI system services that automate and drive efficiency across healthcare operations. We leverage the latest advances in AI—including data mining, generative AI, and agentic systems—to build the next generation of healthcare claims and payment automation products. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of healthcare operations by delivering solutions that combine deep technical expertise, customer empathy, and a commitment to transforming complex workflows at scale.
The ideal candidate brings a strong track record across distributed systems, tech stack modernization, and backend services development, paired with proven technical and people leadership. You're energized by architecting performant platforms and web applications that deliver measurable customer impact. You push your team to adopt tools and practices that accelerate velocity—championing test automation, CI/CD maturity, and AI-assisted development workflows. You'll join an engineering organization of high-performing software and data engineers who thrive at the cutting edge of applied AI.
Our teams partner cross-functionally to influence product direction, work directly with customers, and own systems positively impacting millions of lives—where your technical decisions truly matter!
