Job Description

Why Clipboard Health Exists:

We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. We dramatically improve lives, by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time and ambition into career growth and financial opportunity. We achieve this with our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals, allowing healthcare professionals to book on-demand shifts and healthcare facilities to access on-demand talent. Our mission is to enable healthcare professionals to work when and where they want, and to enable healthcare facilities to meet their talent needs.

About Clipboard Health:

Clipboard Health is a post-Series C, extremely fast-growing tech startup with classic two-sided network effects, revolutionizing the market for healthcare talent. We are a diverse and inclusive company with a global, remote team. We have been named one of YC’s Top Companies for two years running, and have grown 25x across all key metrics in the last 18 months. There has never been a more exciting time to join our growing team and help us serve even more healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities, who can then better serve patients. To learn more about the culture at Clipboard Health, take a look at our culture hub here.

We are a globally distributed team with folks from the United States, Canada, Chile, Mongolia, Turkey, India, Madagascar, Ukraine, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia… and more. Our values center around customer centricity, urgency, curiosity, and ownership. We are all empowered to fix the problems we see, there are no “toes” to be stepped on. A team went off and created a new SaaS product, another team rewrote a core service under a new architecture. We believe in our collective mission and do what it takes to move the needle on that goal.

What you’ll do

  • You will be responsible for your team’s process, delivery, and execution. Ensuring that the team can work optimally and with high quality.
  • You will partner with product managers, and our customers, to create your team’s roadmap.
  • While you may not be involved in day-to-day coding, you will be reviewing your team’s work and providing technical guidance and coaching. This involves reviewing PRs, architecture and design documents and ensuring that the output of your team is of high quality and solves the customer’s problems.
  • You will be responsible for managing your team’s performance. This means proactively identifying and rectifying the impact of low performance and giving immediate and actionable feedback.
  • We value a growth mindset, and as an engineering manager, you will be responsible for helping your engineers grow to their full potential.
  • Every individual at Clipboard Health has an impact on the business. As an Engineering Manager, we will look to you for input on streamlining our engineering processes, helping craft our goals, and raising the bar for the technical teams at the company. At Clipboard Health we say “We don’t have any toes to step on”. If you see a problem, you fix it.
  • As a fast-paced team that is constantly growing, you will participate in all stages of the hiring process.
  • We give constant feedback and highly value transparency. You’ll have a lot of conversations in open forums, and as a curious team that values “first-principles thinking”, you can expect questions and feedback on these conversations.

What you bring to the table

  • At least 6 years of software development experience and 2+ years of experience leading software development professionals (either as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead or Founder)
  • Experience leading agile and high-performing teams in a fast-paced, geographically dispersed environment.
  • Ability to identify and manage performance issues swiftly as well as coaching skills to empower developers at various levels. You must be comfortable with having difficult conversations, addressing problems head-on, and being decisive about outcomes.
  • A deep appreciation for customers and the ability to navigate ambiguous customer problems and translate them into actionable solutions.
  • Excellent writing and communication skills.
  • Able to break down problems and solutions into their component parts and explain each component to fellow engineers and non-technical stakeholders rather than relying on reasoning by proxy or relying on best practices
  • Hands-on development and system design experience.
  • Ability to work equally well with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with growing teams: hiring, retaining, and onboarding top talent.

Why Clipboard Health?

  • 100% remote, flexible working hours.
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Async first, with sync collaboration as it’s needed.
  • This is a high-impact role. From the hiring, onboarding, team execution, and talent practices to customer impact, new verticals, and technical uplevelling of the team: there’s room for improvement on it all, and we are looking for people who want to build the new era of Clipboard Health with us.

Job Description

Who we are

The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.

About the team

The Slang team builds a modular set of compiler APIs for Solidity code analysis. Our users are internal and external developers integrating our APIs in their developer tools to process Solidity code and make it easier to build smart contracts for their end users. The project is at an early stage working towards feature completeness. We aim to upgrade the Solidity developer experience and tooling ecosystem in the long term.

This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.

What you’ll do

Build a High-Performing Team:

  • Motivate and guide engineers to achieve their full potential, fostering a culture of learning and development.
  • Implement and improve processes like performance reviews, career development plans, and efficient hiring practices.
  • Establish a clear team structure with roles and ownership well-defined.

Drive Successful Product Delivery:

  • Take ownership of projects, ensuring on-time delivery with the desired features and quality.
  • Work with the team to define MVPs, set milestones, and assess project feasibility.
  • Manage project scope by prioritizing tasks, identifying dependencies, and mitigating risks.
  • Collaborate with product managers to translate user needs and market trends into a technical roadmap.

Communication & Alignment:

  • Increase transparency within the team by sharing information on other Nomic projects and initiatives.
  • Champion the team’s achievements and deliverables to other departments.
  • Proactively communicate with leadership and stakeholders to address concerns, clarify direction, and ensure alignment across teams.
  • Articulate a clear vision for the team’s mission, challenges, and milestones, connecting their work to Nomic’s broader goals.

High-Level Technical Leadership:

  • Actively participate in technical discussions, providing high-level guidance and expertise during code reviews and design decisions.
  • Act as a mentor and sounding board for technical decisions, ensuring alignment with project goals while empowering individual ownership.

Who we’re looking for

We are searching for an experienced technical leader with a coaching mindset to empower our growing engineering team (3 engineers). You’ll foster individual growth through thoughtful guidance and mentorship, creating a respectful and collaborative environment. Given the highly technical nature of the project, a strong technical background is essential to provide support for this team.

  • 3+ years of experience in managing & growing teams, establishing a team structure, and ensuring team wellbeing, ideally in a remote and async setting.
  • 6+ years of experience leading projects.
  • Proven track record of technical leadership, managing projects and multi-year roadmaps.
  • Ability to direct without micromanaging or forcing decisions.
  • Experience implementing or refining processes around performance reviews, career development, and hiring.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proven ability to design and implement scalable, maintainable software architectures.
  • Strong expertise in conducting code reviews, identifying potential technical issues or risks, and suggesting improvements.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience building compilers or leading compiler projects.
  • Experience with open source and/or Rust projects.

Compensation and benefits

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Budget for IT equipment
  • Annual Learning & Development Budget
  • Vesting ETH grant as part of total compensation
  • Statutory benefits specific to your location (depending on the employment contract)

Why join us?

Mission-driven value creation

Your contributions will directly impact an ecosystem that is shaping the future of finance, data, and ownership. You won’t be working on optimizing a revenue stream to increase shareholder profits; you’ll create value for the Ethereum community and developer ecosystem.

Lean and robust

We run robust engineering practices and lightweight processes that provide us with structure and fast decision-making. Your time will be spent on technical challenges, coding, and launching features.

We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We recognize they are essential to growth and innovation, and sometimes the perfect candidate might not tick every box in the job description. If you’re passionate about what you do and have valuable experience – we want to hear from you. Your unique background and skills could be just what our team needs and we warmly encourage you to apply.

Job Description

About us

Lifecheq is a fintech company aiming to provide the global emerging middle class with quality holistic financial advice. Our platform combines smart tech, deep financial expertise, and a unique approach to financial advice. We're growing rapidly, backed by major investors including Summit Africa, Futuregrowth, African Rainbow Capital, and Naspers Foundry.

As we scale, we believe that engineering management is fundamentally about creating the conditions for exceptional teams to thrive. The Engineering Manager role sits at the heart of this philosophy - bridging the crucial gap between technical excellence and human potential. You'll shape not just what we build, but how we build it and who we become as an engineering organisation.

Our fully remote team primarily uses Clojure for backends and a mixture of ClojureScript and TypeScript for frontends. We're organised as cross-functional agile squads with engineers, financial experts, designers, and product managers.

What you'll do

As Engineering Manager, you'll sit at the crucial intersection between people leadership and delivery enablement, reporting to our SVP Engineering. You'll have direct line management for 7-9 engineers across 3-4 squads whilst partnering with Tech Leads and Product Managers to ensure effective delivery.

People Leadership

Own the career development of your direct reports through clear performance expectations, regular 1:1s, and targeted coaching. Foster an engineering culture of excellence, learning, and psychological safety whilst representing the engineering team in cross-functional forums.

Delivery Enablement

Partner with Tech Leads and Product Managers to navigate trade-offs, remove blockers, and maintain quality standards. Support prioritisation with business context, facilitate cross-squad dependencies, and ensure predictable delivery cadences.

Recruitment & Growth

Lead hiring processes from definition through onboarding, making key hiring decisions whilst building our engineering talent pipeline and employer brand.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced engineering leader with an intense interest in understanding people and helping them be more effective in teams. You've had a positive effect on others' careers and know how to repeat that success. You've learned from tough people experiences and worked effectively with people very different from yourself.

Essential experience
  • 10+ years professional software development experience

  • Prior engineering management experience with proven people development track record

  • Experience supporting delivery across multiple technical workstreams

  • Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Demonstrated ability to navigate complex organisational dynamics

  • Experience with performance management and career development

What will set you apart
  • Track record of improving delivery predictability whilst balancing technical debt with feature delivery

  • Experience with Clojure and/or JavaScript environments (helps you offer more specific guidance)

  • Background in fintech or adjacent regulated industries

  • Experience scaling engineering teams during rapid growth periods

  • History of successfully working in matrix organisational structures

Success looks like
  • Team Health : Improved retention, engagement scores, and team satisfaction

  • Delivery Performance : Increased predictability, velocity, and quality metrics

  • Leadership Effectiveness : Reduced escalations to senior leadership

  • Talent Development : Growth in technical and leadership capabilities within your team

  • Recruitment Success : Effective time-to-fill, quality of hires, and onboarding

Working with us

Lifecheq values technical depth, autonomy, and clear thinking. You'll be part of a capable team that enjoys solving hard problems together and takes pride in doing things properly. It's a collaborative, engineering-driven environment where well-reasoned decisions carry weight and your ideas will be taken seriously.

This is a fully remote role requiring fluency in English and availability during core hours (10:00-16:00 GMT+2). For South African residents, this will be a permanent position; otherwise, a contract arrangement.

We take the development of our people very seriously and will work with you to carve out your success plan, accelerate your career, and make a real difference in the lives of real people seeking better lives.
