What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Manager - Product Engineering position at Sprinter Health?
About Sprinter Health
At Sprinter Health, our mission is reimagining how people access care by bringing it directly to their homes. Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system—driving over $300B in avoidable costs every year.
By using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. So far, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22 states, completed 130,000 in-home visits, and maintained a 92 NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators have raised over $125M to date investors like a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel and enjoy multi-year runway.
About The Role
Our engineering team has scaled from 12 to 40 engineers in the past year, and we’re still growing fast. We’re looking for experienced mid- to senior-level Engineering Managers to help us navigate this next phase. You’ve led teams of around 10 engineers at varying levels, and you know how to build for scale—hiring, career development, mentorship, org design, and beyond. We have multiple teams tackling a wide range of technical challenges, and we’ll work with you to place you where your interests and strengths align.
Office Location:
We are a hybrid company based in the Bay Area with offices in both San Francisco & Menlo Park. We care about work-life balance, and understand that there will be times where flexibility is needed.
