Engineering Manager

About the role

Healthcare is in crisis and the people behind the results deserve better. With more and more data coming from wearables, lab tests, and patient–doctor interactions, we’re entering an era where data is abundant.

Junction is building the infrastructure layer for diagnostic healthcare, making patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across labs and devices. Our mission is simple but ambitious: build the infrastructure that makes predictive, personalized care possible.

If you're passionate about how technology can supercharge healthcare, you’ll fit right in.

Backed by Creandum, Point Nine, 20VC, YC, and leading angels, we’re working to solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: making healthcare personalized, proactive, and affordable. We’re already connecting millions and scaling fast.

SHORT ON TIME?

- You: You’ve led experienced engineers, stayed close to the code, and care about the product and the customers using it.

- Ownership / Focus: You’ll lead a small and growing engineering team, you’ll own its engineering direction, technical delivery, team health and hiring.

- How we manage: We don’t believe in purely pastoral engineering managers. You’ll manage and develop people, but you’ll also ship, unblock, review and make technical decisions alongside them.

- Salary: £120-£150k + equity (based on experience and location)

- Location: Fully remote (GMT). We have one company offsite each year, with possible travel to London every couple of months for team meet-ups.

WHY WE NEED YOU

Our engineering team is growing, and we need another Engineering Manager to grow with it. You’ll report to Mark, our Head of Engineering, and work alongside Rui, our other Engineering Manager. You’ll initially take ownership of a small engineering team, working closely with product and other teams to decide what to build and get it shipped.

At Junction, engineering management is a technical job. We want our managers close enough to the work to know what’s going on, give good feedback and get involved when needed. But we don’t want you to become the person everyone waits for when something gets difficult.

Six months in, your team should trust you, people outside the team should know where things stand, and the team should be delivering what it says it will.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING DAY TO DAY

- Own the engineering direction, delivery and health of a small team of senior product engineers.

- Work with product on what the team commits to, then make sure it gets delivered.

- Stay close to the code: review PRs, give technical feedback, pair on problems and ship when it makes sense.

- Unblock the team when decisions are unclear or things go wrong.

- Give engineers regular feedback, run useful 1:1s and performance reviews, and actively help them grow in their careers.

- Notice what’s slowing the team down and fix it, surface problems early and keep the rest of the company clear on what’s happening.
