ROLE OVERVIEW
The Engineering Manager for the Messaging & Applications teams owns and drives the technical direction of CareMessage's core product: the messaging platform that powers patient communication for our customers, and the core application that providers use every day. CareMessage supports over 400 safety-net healthcare organizations, including federally qualified health centers and free clinics, that care for low-income and underserved patients nationwide, and your teams build the product that millions of patients experience directly. This is a leadership role over existing teams: their systems and roadmaps are already in place, and your job is to lead, deepen, and scale them.
The Messaging team builds and maintains the systems that drive all outbound and inbound patient communication (SMS, voice, and multimedia), powered by Twilio, and we are investing in AI-driven message categorization, multimedia messaging (MMS/RCS), intelligent delivery optimization, and consent management. The Applications team builds and maintains the core web application (a Ruby on Rails monolith with a JavaScript/TypeScript/React front end on Postgres and GCP) through which providers manage campaigns, patients, appointments, and messaging. Increasingly, this experience is enhanced by our solution recommendation engine and AI copilots that help providers determine and act on the right next step for each patient. Both teams work in the same core codebase, so clear ownership and coordination matter. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Product, Customer Success, Data, and Engineering to design and deliver messaging and application features that deepen patient engagement and health outcomes, with direct ownership of technical decisions and customer-facing system behavior.
Our ideal candidate is an experienced Engineering Manager (technical, people and process leader) who thrives in dynamic, fully-distributed environments and brings deep experience leading teams that build reliable, patient-centric communication infrastructure at scale. They are energized by problems like delivery optimization, consent management, and AI-driven messaging, and they possess the technical leadership to guide and mentor engin
