Soda Health will provide a really nice work laptop, and mouse/keyboard upon request

What the job involves
- As a Head of Product Engineering at Soda Health, you'll manage teams who are responsible for feature delivery centered in our proprietary software platform

- Your work will directly and positively impact the lives of everyday people who are older and/or have lower incomes, making healthcare more accessible and personalized for underserved populations – our products make a tangible difference in people’s lives
- Working within an organization created at the intersection of health care, retail and financial technology, no two days will look the same. Your work will include:
- Ensuring technical designs are correct and guiding teams as needed; recognizing when buying vs. building may be a better choice
- Collaborating with other engineers on technical matters; settling debates when needed
- Managing project delivery estimation, with a strategy for tradeoffs between delivery and debt
- Coaching and developing others, including new-in-role managers and staff engineers
- Gathering and analyzing data to prove or disprove a hypothesis you have about engineering performance and priorities
- Managing a staffing plan aligned with product priorities, including addressing deficiencies in our capabilities and succession plan for key roles
- Benchmarking our software delivery pace against comparable organizations
- You will build a capable, nimble, high-performing engineering team and hire excellent engineers
- You set the tone, and it is positive with high expectations. You set the pace, and it is fast
Our take
Between 80% and 90% of a person’s health is determined by environmental and behavioural factors. These Social Determinants of Health (or SDOH) are what Soda Health aims to address, setting out to create more equitable styles of health benefits and ensure better health across social borders.
It works by changing the way health benefits are claimed, offering members a sort of pay-as-you-go benefits credit card. What's covered here are things not traditionally included among health benefits, which are impacted by wealth inequity, the ability to buy nutritional foods or over-the-counter medicines, and limited access to transportation for healthcare appointments.
It’s an interesting model, and not one which has many directly comparable competitors. But the concept of HealthTech for SDOH is an overcrowded market, and Soda Health's $50 million in Series B funding awarded in 2024 will help it stand firm against larger start-ups like Unite Us or Cityblock.
