Role
Who you are
- You have 4+ years directly managing mid-sized software engineering teams that have tackled big problems, and can speak to the underlying processes that drove their failures and successes
- You love seeing teams level up. You're dedicated to helping direct reports overcome challenges and seize opportunities that are crucial to self-growth
- Information-gathering is ingrained in every aspect of your work. Your decisions incorporate feedback from stakeholders, your reports, collaborators, and historical context that you intentionally mine from the project over time
- You demonstrate a bias towards simplicity, avoid misallocating complexity, and try to impose structure at the right time - not too early or too late
- You're painfully aware of the perils of both under- and over-planning. You have a solid handle on the planning horizon of any given project, as well as the corresponding inevitable estimation accuracy drop off over time. You work to extend that horizon as the project matures
- Once you've made a decision, you communicate and follow through with it. You swiftly communicate any dynamic changes with collaborators and stakeholders
- Your work empowers the decision-making abilities of your reports, collaborators, and stakeholders
- You have a keen sense for the bandwidth limitations, technical debt, and non-iterative processes that drag a project down, and you've employed effective strategies for preventing/remedying these issues in the past
- You have hands-on experience leading engineering teams under formal design controls (IEC 62304 or equivalent) and can point to concrete ways you maintained development velocity within those constraints
What the job involves
- Coach your direct reports to pursue opportunities that increase their impact at Beacon, and guide them through the challenges they encounter along the way
- Develop a deep understanding of the Datastore and the broader Platform product ecosystem, and actively share that context to drive continuous improvement of the team's processes and its integration with Beacon as a whole
- Cultivate an environment where engineers learn constantly and collaboratively, and treat setbacks as opportunities for growth
- Act as a steward of Beacon's engineering practices and maintain high bars for engineering quality, productivity, and accountability while motivating the team to continuously raise those bars over time
- Help your team scope and prioritize tactical week-to-week work in direct connection with Beacon's wider strategic initiatives
- Ensure your team's development roadmap is outcome-oriented, current, aligned with company objectives and other teams' priorities, and communicated clearly to stakeholders across Beacon
- Own project management for team initiatives: defining scope, managing timelines, and setting expectations internally and externally
- Partner with quality and regulatory stakeholders to ensure the team's development processes meet design control requirements without sacrificing engineering momentum, and lead the team in continuously improving how it does both
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.
