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 drive improvements in developer experience and productivity across our platform organization
- This includes evolving our developer platform, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD systems to enable fast, reliable, and AI-augmented software delivery
- You will own a key area within the platform team, with a strong focus on improving the end-to-end developer experience; from local development to deployment and operations
- You’ll partner closely with senior leadership to scope and deliver platform capabilities that reduce friction, increase velocity, and maintain high standards for reliability and security
- In this role, you’ll lead a growing team of engineers, translate strategic priorities into execution, and ensure the systems and tools our engineers rely on enable them to do their best work
- You’ll also play a key role in embedding AI deeply into the development lifecycle to accelerate productivity, improve code quality, and reshape how engineers build software
- This is a rapidly-evolving role that sits at the intersection of AI, developer experience, platform engineering, and healthcare
- Execution-focused leadership:
- Own the delivery of key initiatives focused on improving developer experience and velocity across the engineering organization
- Translate high-level strategy into clear, actionable plans, and drive execution across developer tooling, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure
- Partner with product engineering, security, and other stakeholders to reduce friction in the development lifecycle and enable fast, safe delivery
- Drive measurable improvements in developer productivity, including build and test times, deployment frequency, and onboarding experience
- Technical operator:
- Bring strong systems thinking and technical judgment to guide architecture and tooling decisions that improve developer ergonomics, feedback loops, and overall development velocity
- While not expected to code daily, you should be comfortable diving into system design, evaluating developer workflows, and helping teams navigate complex infrastructure and platform challenges
- Evaluate and adopt AI-powered development tools and workflows, and guide the organization in effectively leveraging them to improve productivity and code quality
- 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
- Help build a team with a strong focus on developer experience, productivity tooling, and platform thinking
- 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, with a strong emphasis on developer empathy; treating internal engineers as customers
- Act as a force multiplier by improving team processes, reducing friction, and enabling more efficient and effective development workflows
- Encourage experimentation with AI-assisted development practices
- Operational excellence:
- Drive strong execution practices, including sprint planning, prioritization, and stakeholder communication
- Continuously improve the speed and safety of the software delivery lifecycle while maintaining high reliability
- Ensure your team operates effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment while reducing cognitive load for engineers and maintaining high standards for quality, security, and reliability
- Developer Experience & AI Enablement
- Own and improve the end-to-end developer experience across the organization, including local development, testing, deployment, and observability workflows
- Identify and eliminate friction in the developer journey, and introduce tools and systems that accelerate development velocity
- Lead the adoption of AI-assisted development workflows, including code generation, debugging, testing, and operational tooling
- Partner with engineering teams to ensure these tools are effectively integrated into day-to-day workflows and deliver measurable impact
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.
