  • Scaled to over 100,000 monthly active patients across our weight-management program.
  • Grew the UK patient base from 4,000 to ~40,000 and received selective NICE endorsement to provide services to the NHS.
  • Tailored our offering to over 5,000 patients in Germany and Japan

About the role (What you'll be doing)

  • We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our Medication Management Squad, a core team responsible for building and scaling the systems that support how patients receive, manage, and stay on their treatments.

  • As a hands-on Engineering Manager, you will guide a team of talented engineers while remaining close to the technical and product decisions that drive meaningful patient and commercial impact. You will work closely with cross-functional partners across product, design, analytics, and commercial teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions.

  • You will take an iterative approach to building and evolving systems, balancing rapid delivery with stability, security, and long-term maintainability. You will own delivery management for your team, lead planning and prioritisation, and ensure your squad consistently delivers the right outcomes.

  • You will be accountable for your team’s objectives and support them in effectively owning and operating the components within their domain. You will collaborate with other Engineering Managers to lead engineering-wide initiatives, improve processes, and contribute to the growth of a high-performing engineering organisation.

  • As Eucalyptus continues to scale, you will help design and evolve the team structure, support hiring and resourcing needs, and adapt ways of working in a fast-moving environment.

About you (Who you are)

  • You are an experienced Engineering Manager, Technical Lead, or Senior Engineer with experience leading teams in a growth-focused, product-led environment.

    You have led and coached engineers, providing clear and constructive feedback, and are accountable for individual and team performance. You are a strong communicator for both technical and non-technical audiences

  •  You have managed competing priorities across new feature development, iterative improvement, technical and operational debt, and scalability. You have partnered closely with product managers, designers, and cross-functional teams to arrive at strong outcomes. 
  • You are passionate about building and inspiring teams, helping engineers understand what they are building and why it matters. You thrive in fast-paced startup environments where you balance decision velocity with quality.
  • You bring strong problem-solving skills across team design, agile delivery, and continuous improvement.

Why you should join Engineering at Euc

  • We’re on a quest to build a robust, scalable, configurable, multi-brand platform (that’s also enjoyable to work on!) on which we can solve the world’s biggest healthcare challenges, and you can be a pivotal player in that journey.
    • We’re a 40 person engineering team, so you can have genuine input on what we build and how we build it
  • We have a high performance culture
    • We have a high bar for talent, so you’ll get to learn from some of the best engineers in the industry
    • We write as many low quality memes as we do high quality PRs
    • We optimise for velocity and deploy to production hundreds of times a month. Once you merge your code, it’s in prod in minutes
  • You’ll get to work with a modern tech stack that we’re always improving. If something isn’t working for us, we’ll iterate until we get it right and everyone on the team is encouraged to help refine it.
    • Frontend: React, React Native + Expo, TypeScript, Apollo, Tailwind
    • Backend: Node (TypeScript) and Go microservices, Federated GraphQL, gRPC, Protobufs, Pub/Sub and Postgres, hosted on GCP Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
  • You’ll work on interesting engineering challenges:
    • Euc has a large appetite for product development, so we have a roadmap of innovative, greenfield features to work on
    • We've been running microservices smoothly in production for a few years, but there is still a lot of complex business logic in our legacy mono-repo to understand, break down, improve and port across.
    • We strive for efficiency and invest heavily in internal tooling to improve developer experience
  • We’ll invest in your growth, development and career
    • When we introduced Go microservices we invested in upskilling the whole team in a new language
    • No matter which direction you want to take your career, we’ll provide opportunities for you
    • Every engineer has a yearly Learning and Development budget that they can use for courses, books, conferences, anything to help you learn.
