Role
Who you are
- If you're excited about being a player-coach, blending technical leadership with mentorship and team-building, we’d love to talk to you!
- A strong technical foundation in infrastructure, systems engineering, or platform development — with the ability to dive deep when needed
- Proven experience leading and mentoring engineers, with a focus on helping individuals grow while delivering impactful results
- A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset — knowing when to aim for excellence and when to ship “good enough” solutions
- A track record of working across teams and functions to align infrastructure priorities with organizational needs
- Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and driving clarity through thoughtful planning and communication
- A collaborative, team-first attitude with the ability to both support and challenge — especially in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to join our Infrastructure team. This role is ideal for someone who loves to lead by example — someone who can both support and grow a high-performing team and roll up their sleeves to solve complex technical problems alongside them
- You’ll be working across areas like observability, performance, developer tooling, and databases— helping shape strategy, drive execution, and foster a culture of excellence and ownership
- Lead and mentor a team of infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, ownership, and technical excellence
- Act as a player-coach: contribute directly to the codebase, architecture decisions, and technical problem-solving while growing team capabilities
- Drive and support strategic initiatives across observability, performance, developer experience, and database infrastructure
- Partner with cross-functional teams to align infrastructure priorities with business goals and product needs
- Own the planning and execution of high-impact projects — balancing scope, velocity, and long-term sustainability
- Help shape and evolve technical direction, making pragmatic choices between scaling, automation, and reliability
- Recruit, develop, and retain top engineering talent through strong coaching, feedback, and support
- Champion engineering best practices, operational excellence, and a continuous improvement mindset across the team
Our take
Ro is a healthcare startup that connects patients directly to physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. The founders of Ro established the company because they felt that health insurance wasn’t working as it should, as the pooled cost of expensive treatments means that the price of individual doctor visits is inflated.
Ro’s primary care platform powers a personalized, end-to-end healthcare experience from diagnosis, to delivery of medication, to ongoing care. Instead of having to travel to a doctor’s office, Ro customers can access a video conference with a physician on-demand, from the comfort of their own home.
In order to tap into the global medical market, which is worth over $4 trillion, Ro raised $150 million at a valuation of $7 billion in 2022. It has expanded to more health areas, such as skincare and mental health, and launched an online pharmacy. Despite this, a substantial number of layoffs in spring 2022 indicated that Ro's accelerated growth had caused problems with its internal organization. Having now narrowed its focus and spending more on less, Ro has streamlined its operations and looks to continue on a steady upward trajectory.
