Senior Manager, Engineering

OUR MISSION

Calibrate is on a mission to change the way the world treats weight. We’re defining a new category in metabolic health that mirrors what the research shows—that weight reflects our biology, not our willpower. Our program was designed by world leaders in obesity and nutrition science to improve metabolic health and drive long-term weight loss that’s impactful, realistic, and sustainable.

Obesity is America’s underlying pandemic and largest category of chronic disease, and Calibrate is closing the gap in care for 175mm adults in a $600bn market where we spend millions of dollars each year and do not lose millions of pounds.

To bring Calibrate to everyone who needs it, we’re building the first value-based model in obesity treatment, aligning incentives for patients, providers, payors, and pharmaceutical companies. We’ve built a suite of products that combine medication with our proprietary intensive lifestyle intervention to deliver results that last.Calibrate launched in 2020 direct-to-consumer and has since expanded into enterprise channels to increase access to effective obesity treatment.

Calibrate’s programs bring decades of clinical research directly to consumers, immersing members in a biweekly 1:1 coaching program and curriculum that educates and encourages them to build enduring healthy habits across the four areas essential to lasting metabolic health: food, sleep, exercise, and emotional health. A purpose-built app enables daily tracking of food, energy levels, weight, and bi-weekly goals and helps members interact with their Coaching and Medical teams, while a members’ group and events calendar create additional opportunities to engage with the Calibrate community.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The ideal candidate is as passionate about creating seamless customer experiences as they are about solving complex software engineering problems with elegant solutions. You will lead a team of talented engineers to plan, architect, build, and own our highly scalable systems and partner with the product team to bring delightful customer experiences to life.

  • You have experience working on applications from scratch through multiple iterations, closely collaborating with a product and design team
  • You are motivated by nurturing talent and can facilitate the professional growth of a team of talented engineers.
  • You help engineers understand how their work connects to the larger business objectives.
  • You enjoy thinking through technical challenges at a high level and then guide and mentor your team to understand the problem space and determine possible technical solutions.
  • You can keep the team focused on priorities.
  • You partner well with other Engineering Managers and enjoy working on organizational challenges and advise on and implement changes to our engineering processes and culture.

BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

  • Broad experience with frontend and backend programming (Python/JavaScript/CSS/HTML for languages, and React for frameworks)
  • Experience with relational databases, like PostgreSQL
  • Familiarity with AWS or other cloud providers

Products you will build and work on:

  • Consumer facing application (mobile and web) to engage and change behaviors to improve weight health.
  • Doctor and coaching internal platform that helps our team efficiently deliver the right care to the right members at the right time.
  • Robust internal framework of services that connects to external healthcare and non-healthcare data sources.

BENEFITS

At Calibrate, we’re committed to our vision of putting our members and our teammates in control of their health. Some of our benefits for 2023 include:

  • Competitive salary with opportunity for equity in an early stage, high growth business
  • Generous paid time off, including an all-company holiday over Thanksgiving week

  • Calibrate-paid disability and basic life insurance to give you peace of mind during unforeseen events
  • Therapy on your time with free access to Headspace and Ginger
  • An employee assistance program through Guardian to provide counseling across a range of personal topics
  • Remote team with a headquarters in NYC
  • Competitive Paid Parental Leave for parents

OUR VALUES

We’re in it together: We have an audacious mission, and we’re building a lot of things for the first time — from the first DTC pharma business within the healthcare ecosystem to the data infrastructure for providing real-world evidence in the largest category of chronic disease. It takes superpowers to build something simple and intuitive within the complex healthcare market, so we identify and work as a team from our individual points of strength. Not everyone has to be good at everything, but we know that when we harness what we’re each great at, we’re unstoppable.

Small wins create big wins: We ground every experience in optimism, recognizing and celebrating successes along the way. We break projects down into smaller components. And we focus on where we have momentum. We always plan for larger goals with the knowledge that our plans will evolve as we achieve smaller milestones.

You’re in control: While we’re headquartered in New York, we don’t let location stand in the way of the best talent — and from coaches to engineers, many of us are fully remote. Our business is multi-faceted, so each Calibrater is hired to be an expert in their piece of it — in control of their own initiatives, in control of their own impact, and in control of driving their own (real) results.

Real results matter: We’re obsessed with outcomes because when our members win, we win, and the data proves that we’ve built the best metabolic health program on the market. We’re purposeful, optimistic, and relentlessly confident that we can solve the biggest medical issue of the 21st century.

Calibrate is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace, providing equal employment and advancement opportunities to all team members. To achieve our mission of changing the way the world treats weight, we are building an environment where every Calibrater can thrive, feel a sense of belonging, and do the best work of their careers. We value diversity and recruit, hire, and promote individuals solely based on talent, qualifications, competence, and merit. We evaluate candidates without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other protected characteristics as required by law and as a matter of our company values.
