Role
Who you are
- A proven track record managing mid-sized mobile or consumer-facing engineering teams, with clear examples of how your leadership influenced both team health and product outcomes
- Strong mobile engineering depth sufficient to guide architectural tradeoffs across React Native, Swift, and Kotlin — including hardware-adjacent concerns like BLE, sensor integration, or device SDKs. You don't need to be the best coder on the team, but you need to engage at a technical level and drive decisions with confidence
- Experience leading teams through ambiguity and cross-functional complexity, balancing competing stakeholder priorities while maintaining team momentum and morale
- A bias toward simplicity and right-sized process; you know when to add structure and when it gets in the way
- Clear, decisive communication: once you've made a call, you follow through and keep stakeholders informed; when plans change, you communicate quickly and with context
- Honest, continuous attention to planning horizon and estimation uncertainty across all active initiatives
- Experience operating in a regulated industry is a strong plus, with practical knowledge of how to move effectively within design controls and quality frameworks
- A track record of celebrating the career development of direct reports, taking performance management seriously, and hiring strong talent
What the job involves
- Beacon is seeking a Senior Manager, Engineering to lead our Mobile Apps team and help build the patient-facing experiences at the front line of our mission
- The apps your team owns are how patients interact with our EEG headbands and other wearables in the real world, capturing high-fidelity neurological data in clinical trials and at-home diagnostic settings
- You'll manage seven direct reports, including engineers and a product manager, with one additional IC hire planned this year
- You'll partner closely with product design, device engineering, and other Platform teams to deliver exceptional mobile experiences that meet both user needs and the rigorous standards of a regulated health tech environment
- This role reports directly to Beacon's VP of Platform
- Manage and develop a team of engineers and a product manager, coaching them through meaningful growth opportunities and guiding them through technical and professional challenges
- Own the team's technical direction across our React Native cross-platform apps and our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) BLE device SDKs, making sound architectural tradeoffs and staying current on platform advancements
- Drive a clear, outcome-oriented roadmap aligned with Beacon's company objectives, integrated with adjacent platform teams, and communicated transparently to stakeholders across the organization
- Own project management end-to-end: defining scope, managing timelines, setting expectations internally and externally, and keeping cross-functional partners informed of progress and changes
- Cultivate a high-functioning team culture where engineers learn collaboratively, treat setbacks as improvement opportunities, and hold each other to a high bar for quality and accountability
- Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform health, preventing both over-engineering and unmanageable technical debt
- Establish and refine team processes that support efficient execution and sustainable engineering practices within a regulated product environment
- Your team builds and maintains the React Native apps and native BLE SDKs through which patients pair, configure, and use our Waveband EEG headband
- Recent and ongoing initiatives include building out support for new BLE wearable devices, improving in-app signal quality validation, streamlining onboarding and compliance tracking for clinical trial participants, and improving the end-to-end experience for Home Sleep Test diagnostic patients
Our take
The brain has long been considered one of the most mysterious fields of medicine - and psychiatric and neurological diseases therefore one of the least understood. Better access to real-time brain data, however, could change this and that’s exactly what Beacon Biosignals is hoping to deliver.
Beacon Biosignals has developed an AI-powered EEG platform designed to better measure and understand brain activity. Its technology includes a lightweight wearable headband that tracks brain signals during sleep and at home, feeding huge amounts of real-world data into machine-learning models. The aim is to help researchers analyze brain activity faster, identify new biomarkers, and improve the development of treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The company recently raised major funding and acquired home sleep testing specialist CleveMed as it expands its AI-powered brain health platform. Its FDA-cleared wearable headband is already being used in more than 40 clinical trails studying conditions like depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and sleep disorders. By collecting millions of hours of brain activity data, Beacon hopes to help researchers detect diseases earlier and better understand how the brain changes over time.
