What the job involves
- We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a small cross-functional engineering team focused on evolving, onboarding and integrating Ada’s solutions into customers’ systems (Health Systems and Life Sciences)
- This team owns critical services that are configured and deployed to meet customer requirements
- You will perform a player-coach role - ideal for a technical leader who wants to remain hands-on with code while continuing to hone their management skills
- You will split your time between technical contribution (architecture, code review, key feature development) and people leadership (mentoring, career development, and process improvement)
- You will partner closely with Solution Architects, Product Managers to define technical feasibility for enterprise clients and ensure we deliver robust, safe, secure, and scalable integrations
- Our preference is for candidates located in Eastern or Atlantic time zones as there is a lot of crossover and interaction with teams located throughout Europe
- Act as a hands-on technical lead for the squad, contributing to code (Kotlin/Spring Boot/React), reviewing PRs, and driving architectural decisions
- Ensure the reliability and scalability of our client-facing integration layer (SDKs, APIs, SSO)
- Participate in the on-call rotation and lead incident response for the team’s services, ensuring high availability for our clients
- Champion and drive engineering best practices

- Collaborate with stakeholders to align individual goals with company objectives
- Collaborate with Product Management to estimate complex integration projects and establish realistic delivery timelines

- Own the delivery process for the team, ensuring smooth sprints and predictable release cycles and on-time delivery of initiatives
Our take
The global digital health market is expected to reach $221 Billion by 2026. With more than 12M users globally, over 26.5M assessments and a suite of AI-driven enterprise solutions, Ada is a pretty large player in this emerging market.
The company's broad global reach and deep relationships with healthcare providers and professionals has allowed it to build a market-leading symptoms-diagnosis product based on Artificial Intelligence.
The product means Ada can move beyond symptom checking to help people monitor their health continuously and take proactive steps to keep it in tip-top condition. In 2023, it partnered with Pfizer to create a COVID-19 digital care journey for sufferers of the virus. That partnership, and many of Ada's other ventures mean new B2B revenue-driving opportunities from health systems, insurers and life sciences organisations.
The idea of proactive healthcare, catching a £100k per year problem when it is a £100 problem, has been a prize that digital health companies have long sought and failed. Ada's suite of products and connections is looking to buck that trend.
