- Comfortable working hands-on with technical systems, including architecture and design discussions
- Experience working across platform domains such as cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and CI/CD systems
- Familiarity with production systems in public cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or similar)
- Experience with containerized environments, Kubernetes, and modern infrastructure tooling (e.g., ArgoCD, Istio, Atmos)

What the job involves
- Abridge’s services and engineering teams are in hyper-scale mode, growing rapidly with our expanding customer base and new product launches
- We are looking for an engineering manager to help drive execution across our platform organization, including cloud infrastructure, developer platform, and deployment pipelines (CI/CD)
- You will own a key area within the platform team, partnering closely with senior leadership to scope and deliver critical infrastructure that powers our products
- In this role, you’ll lead a growing team of engineers, translate strategic priorities into execution, and ensure the reliability and scalability of systems that directly impact our customers
- This is a rapidly-evolving role that sits at the intersection of AI, platform, and healthcare
- Execution-focused leadership:
- Own the delivery of key platform initiatives across cloud infrastructure, developer platform, and CI/CD systems. Translate high-level strategy into clear, actionable plans, and drive day-to-day execution for your team. Partner with product engineering, security, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and successful delivery
- Technical operator:
- Bring strong systems thinking and technical judgment to guide architecture, unblock teams, and make pragmatic tradeoffs. While not expected to code daily, you should be comfortable diving into system design, reviewing solutions, and helping the team navigate complex infrastructure challenges
- Team builder and hiring partner:
- Partner with leadership to grow and scale the team. Contribute to hiring efforts by identifying strong candidates, maintaining a high hiring bar, and helping evolve the hiring process. Support onboarding and create an environment where engineers can do their best work
- Team leader and multiplier:
- Manage, mentor, and support a team of engineers, helping them grow in their careers and deliver high-impact work. Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and accountability. Act as a force multiplier by improving team processes, clarity, and execution
- Operational excellence:
- Drive strong execution practices, including sprint planning, prioritization, and stakeholder communication. Ensure your team operates effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment while maintaining high standards for reliability and quality
Our take
Summarising key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in; it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarises, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience. Its unique focus, then, is part of the reason why it enjoyed two impressive rounds of funding in 2025 alone.
