Engineering Manager

San Francisco, CA

Healthcare is broken at the first step: patients can't find the right care, understand what it costs, or access the medications they need. Mochi Health is fixing this.

We're building an AI-driven marketplace that makes healthcare discoverable—connecting patients to the right providers, transparent pharmacy pricing, and affordable medications. Over the past few years, we've grown rapidly by combining clinical expertise with technology that actually works for real people, not just hospital systems.

Our platform does what legacy healthcare can't: it gives patients transparent pricing before they pay, personalized medication management that follows them across providers, and long-term access to their own medical records. We're proving that healthcare can be more affordable, more human, and far more intuitive than what exists today.

Join a team that's rebuilding healthcare from the patient up. At Mochi Health, you'll work alongside people who value bold thinking, inclusive collaboration, and getting meaningful work into the world. If you want to do the most impactful work of your career, this is where to do it.

Engineering Manager

Location: San Francisco, CA (5 days/week onsite)

About The Role At Mochi, our engineering team operates with exceptional leverage. We believe in high talent density, where a focused, pragmatic team powers a profitable, nine-figure ARR healthcare platform serving hundreds of thousands of patients. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to help us scale, align, and unblock this organization.

Mochi has already helped patients lose over 5 million pounds through metabolic care, and we are now rapidly expanding into the frontiers of preventative healthcare. To support this growth, we are actively leveling up our engineering maturity—pairing our ambitious, early-career engineers with incoming Senior and Staff-level talent to build our next generation of clinical systems.

At Mochi, engineering is deeply integrated with our clinical and operational teams. We do not operate in silos. We need an Engineering Manager who is a true collaborative partner: someone who excels at mentoring junior developers, recruiting senior talent, maintaining a culture of high technical craft, and working directly with clinical leadership to co-design solutions for massive healthcare challenges. If you are a deeply technical leader who meets engineers where they are and cares profoundly about patient outcomes, this is the role.

What You'll Do

  • Mentor and Scale the Team: You will be a hands-on technical leader who takes deep pride in team growth. While you won't be on the critical path for daily feature delivery, you will be in the codebase—reviewing PRs, pairing with junior engineers to unblock them, and actively recruiting top-tier Senior and Staff engineers to raise the team's overall technical ceiling.
  • Drive Alignment & Velocity: You will manage a team with a diverse mix of experience levels. Your job is to provide crystal-clear business context, ensure technical efforts are perfectly aligned with the product roadmap, and proactively clear organizational roadblocks to maintain relentless shipping velocity.
  • Co-Design the Clinical Product: You will partner deeply with Operations, Product, and Clinical leadership. You will act as a collaborative translation layer—distilling complex medical realities and regulatory workflows into clear, pragmatic technical roadmaps for your team.
  • Elevate the Craft & Govern AI: Mochi is an AI-first engineering org where developers utilize frontier agentic models (e.g., Codex 5.3, Claude Opus 4.6) daily. You will manage the risks of this high-speed environment, ensuring AI-assisted output is rigorously audited for edge cases, performance bottlenecks, and HIPAA compliance, maintaining deep pride in the quality of the systems we build.
  • Foster a High-Ownership Culture: You will ensure context is shared fluidly across the entire platform. Through direct feedback, empathetic mentorship, and clear performance management, you will cultivate a team of low-ego, versatile builders who care deeply about patient outcomes.

Who You Are

  • You are a pragmatic team builder and mentor. You have a track record of identifying and recruiting top engineering talent, but you are equally passionate about coaching early-career developers and taking them to the next level. Engineers you have managed in the past actively want to work for you again.
  • You have immense technical credibility. You are a former Senior or Staff engineer who has built and operated high-stakes distributed systems. You can read complex codebases, audit architectures, and command the technical respect of your team.
  • You possess deep product sense. You have 2+ years of formal engineering management experience. You care just as much about the user experience, clinical workflows, and business outcomes as you do about the underlying infrastructure.
  • You navigate domain complexity. You have managed teams in highly regulated, operationally heavy industries (e.g., healthcare, fintech, logistics) where failures have real-world consequences.
  • You manage through context, not control. You thrive on giving your engineers autonomy tailored to their experience level. You set the business goals, define the architectural guardrails, and empower your team to own the execution.
  • You are a collaborative partner. You have low ego, high standards, and excellent cross-functional communication skills. You know how to collaborate with non-technical stakeholders to build shared solutions.
  • You are excited to work in-person. You want to build and lead your team on the floor, 5 days a week in our San Francisco office.

Our Process 

We respect your time. Here is exactly what to expect:

  • Intro call (30 min, remote) — Chat with our recruiter about the role and expectations.
  • Leadership screen (45 min, remote) — Discuss your management philosophy, coaching experience, and mutual fit with the Head of Engineering.
  • Technical & Architecture round (2.5 hrs, remote) — Deep-dive system design conversation and architectural review. Real domain problems, assessing how you guide technical decisions and evaluate tradeoffs.
  • Team meet (2 hrs 15 mins, on-site) — Come to our SF office to meet the engineers you will be leading and supporting, alongside cross-functional partners and executive leadership for 30-minute 1:1s, concluding with a quick recruiter wrap-up.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
