Are you a software developer interested in trying something new, combining your programming skills with a role that lets you develop as a leader and manager? Or are you an experienced technical manager who is still a software developer at heart and likes to write code now and then to stay sharp? In either case, this is an ideal position for you. If you have the “raw material” but no experience with management, we will teach you.
We are building one of the world's largest healthcare networks connecting physicians, pharmacies, and insurance companies to help patients get on and stay on their medications. Engineering Managers at CoverMyMeds are responsible for making developers and project teams successful by providing leadership, organization, insight, mentoring, and career development. This position requires a strong combination of technical, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
We believe people are at their best when they are comfortable and having fun. We strongly believe that the best developer teams are built by hiring both local and remote developers and making sure that all are first-class citizens. We also make sure our developers have the tools they need to do their jobs like Macbook Pros, large monitors, standing adjustable desks, and fantastic pair partners. Despite our rapid growth, we strive to keep our start-up origins apparent in our culture – we are "casually intense."
