Engineering Manager (Assignment: Interoperability & API Engineering)
WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing medical care and community-based services. We believe in going the extra mile and aim to make a genuine difference in our participants’ lives.
The Engineering Manager is a hands-on technical leader accountable for driving the delivery of production-grade APIs, integrations, and AI/ML–enabled services within the Interoperability & API Engineering team. This role mirrors the technical leadership engineering rigor serving as the technical anchor for a dedicated team while enabling broader organizational scaling. The Engineering Manager will architect solutions, mentor engineers, build proof of concepts (PoCs), enforce engineering excellence, and ensure secure, compliant, scalable, and high-performing systems aligned with healthcare and organizational standards.
This role is different because the Engineering Manager at WelbeHealth:
- Directly shapes secure, compliant, production-grade systems that power care for vulnerable seniors – this role is about being the hands-on technical anchor rather than just managing delivery
- Makes decisions that directly affect healthcare delivery, compliance, and participant outcomes – this role sits at the intersection of healthcare standards (HIPAA, PHI/PII), cross-functional partnerships, and rapid innovation
We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:
- Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
- 401K savings + match
- Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
- And additional benefits!
On the day-to-day, you will:
