Engineering Manager

Job Description :

Engineering Manager (Assignment: Interoperability & API Engineering)

WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing medical care and community-based services. We believe in going the extra mile and aim to make a genuine difference in our participants’ lives. 

The Engineering Manager is a hands-on technical leader accountable for driving the delivery of production-grade APIs, integrations, and AI/ML–enabled services within the Interoperability & API Engineering team. This role mirrors the technical leadership engineering rigor serving as the technical anchor for a dedicated team while enabling broader organizational scaling. The Engineering Manager will architect solutions, mentor engineers, build proof of concepts (PoCs), enforce engineering excellence, and ensure secure, compliant, scalable, and high-performing systems aligned with healthcare and organizational standards.

•         Directly shapes secure, compliant, production-grade systems that power care for vulnerable seniors – this role is about being the hands-on technical anchor rather than just managing delivery

•         Makes decisions that directly affect healthcare delivery, compliance, and participant outcomes – this role sits at the intersection of healthcare standards (HIPAA, PHI/PII), cross-functional partnerships, and rapid innovation

On the day-to-day, you will:

Technical Leadership & Hands-On Engineering

•         Lead end-to-end architecture, development, and delivery of APIs, microservices, and integration pipelines for internal and external healthcare systems, as well as act as the senior-most engineer for the team: designing components, writing high-quality code, troubleshooting complex issues, and performing rigorous code reviews

•         Build scalable, cloud-native solutions using Azure, containerized workloads (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern integration frameworks

AI, Automation & MLOps Integration

•         Implement repeatable MLOps patterns for model deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management

•         Build prototype PoCs that validate new technologies, workflows, or AI-enabled automations before scaling to production

Team Leadership, Mentorship, & Execution

•         Lead and mentor a team of engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, ownership, and continuous learning, as well as step in as the escalation point for technical blockers, guiding the team toward solutions

Cross-Functional Partnership

•         Collaborate with Product, Architecture, Cloud, Security, and other engineering teams to define integration strategies and solution blueprints, as well as translate complex technical designs into clear communication for non-technical stakeholders

Security, Compliance & Healthcare Standards

•         Ensure all development aligns with HIPAA, PHI/PII-safe engineering, and healthcare interoperability requirements, as well as apply FHIR, HL7, EDI, and related healthcare interoperability patterns where applicable

Job requirements include:

•         Bachelor’s degree in relevant field; master’s degree preferred

•         Minimum of eight (8) years in software engineering, with at least three (3) years in a team leader or senior engineering capacity

•         Minimum of two (2) years of hands-on experience with AI/ML, Azure AI Foundry, AI Foundry agents, or related AI integration frameworks

•         Strong hands-on experience with Python and/or Node.js for API engineering and data integrations; known knowledge on Microsoft Azure tools stack is a must

•         Prior experience in healthcare, interoperability, or API-heavy environments is a must

•         Proficiency in REST/GraphQL API design, microservices patterns, authentication/authorization (OAuth2, JWT, Entra ID), and event-driven architectures

•         Familiarity with MLOps tools (Azure ML, MLflow, Databricks) and container ecosystems

•         Experience with interoperability standards such as FHIR, HL7, EDI, or clinical integration workflows is highly preferred
