Senior Engineering Manager, Outcomes

The Opportunity

Pain reduction isn't a vanity metric at Hinge Health — it's the mission. The Outcomes pod owns the member-facing surfaces that make clinical progress visible (pain logging, health assessments, outcomes visualization) and the Assessment Service, the company-wide platform that powers every structured survey and PROM across Migraine, Perisurgical, Women's Pelvic Health, and beyond.

As the Engineering Manager for this team, you'll lead 8 engineers at the intersection of consumer product craft, clinical measurement rigor, and platform engineering — turning clinical signal into product bets and operating the infrastructure the entire organization depends on. What You'll Accomplish In your first 3 months , you will: Build trusted partnerships with your PM, Data Scientist, and cross-neighborhood engineering leads.

Understand the full stack — from the React Native client (phoenix) through phoenix-bff to assessment-service — and complete your first code reviews and PR merges. Audit the current Assessment Service roadmap, catalog inbound requests from partner pods (Migraine, Perisurgical, Enrollment), and establish a transparent prioritization framework that balances internal roadmap with external partner needs.

Immerse yourself in the team's experimentation culture: review active A/B tests on pain logging cadence and member engagement, and set expectations for rigorous go/no-go criteria going forward.

In your first 6 months , you will: Ship at least one experiment that demonstrably moves a core clinical metric — pain reduction, survey engagement, or PSFS improvement — and build the analytical discipline so results are trusted org-wide.

Define and publish contribution patterns for the Assessment Service so partner pods can extend the platform without creating bottlenecks, reducing ad-hoc cross-team coordination overhead. Deepen the pod's AI-native development practices — expanding use of autonomous agents, CI-enforced harness engineering patterns, and developer tooling that increases engineering throughput.

In your first year , you will: Own the outcomes product surface end-to-end: pain logging UX, progress tracking, outcomes visualization, and health assessment experiences that members love and clinicians trust. Ensure Outcomes data is a durable company asset — well-modeled, well-documented, and wired into the clinical and commercial reporting stack — not just a sprint metric.

Grow and develop a high-performing team, raising the engineering bar through hiring, mentorship, and career-ladder progression while sustaining a culture that values both clinical impact and platform reliability.
