About the Team

The New Initiatives team is a new product engineering team focused on building innovative tools that elevate the way Dandy delivers care. This team will design and develop new products that improve the clinical experience for doctors and their staff—whether through smarter workflows, real-time feedback, and entirely new capabilities that enhance outcomes and efficiency.

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Operations to define and deliver roadmap priorities
  • Make pragmatic technical decisions and help your team balance speed, quality, and maintainability
  • Own delivery, accountability, and operational excellence for your team’s systems
  • Recruit, onboard, and mentor engineers to build a cohesive and inclusive team
  • Drive career development and performance management for your reports
  • Help define and evolve Dandy’s engineering practices, architecture, and culture

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years experience as an engineering manager and 5+ years as a software engineer
  • Proven success leading a team through rapid growth, ideally in a startup or high growth environment
  • Have a proven ability to set and execute a strategic vision, especially in dynamic environments with competing priorities
  • Ability to deeply understand and challenge technical decisions while trusting your team
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across functions
  • Track record of shipping product in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
