Position Overview

The company is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead its customer experience platform — spanning a Flutter mobile app, a React/Next.js web platform, and critical user journeys including discovery, retention, and order flow. This is a high-impact role blending technical leadership, product thinking, and team building. The successful candidate will own frontend and mobile excellence end-to-end, working closely with product, design, growth, and backend teams to deliver seamless experiences at scale.

Role & Responsibilities

• Build, mentor, and lead a team of frontend (React/Next.js) and mobile (Flutter) engineers across multiple workstreams
• Own the architecture, scalability, and reliability of the frontend and mobile platforms, setting best practices for code quality and maintainability
• Drive performance improvements across Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), app crash rates, and ANRs to ensure a best-in-class user experience
• Partner with product and growth teams to optimise the full order journey — browse → cart → checkout → post-order — and retention funnels
• Translate business goals into technical roadmaps, manage delivery timelines, and ensure high-quality, on-time releases
• Own observability across platforms — logs, metrics, dashboards, and alerts — and drive fast incident resolution for user-facing systems
• Align frontend/mobile architecture with backend APIs and ensure design system consistency across web and app platforms

Must Have Criteria

• 8–10 years of total software development experience with a strong frontend or mobile engineering focus
• 2+ years of experience managing or mentoring engineering teams of 4+ engineers
• Strong hands-on experience with React and Next.js, including server-side rendering and SEO optimisation
• Hands-on experience with Flutter for cross-platform mobile app development
• Proven track record of building and scaling high-traffic consumer-facing applications (1L+ DAUs or equivalent scale)
• Deep understanding of web performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) and mobile performance (crash rates, ANRs, app startup time)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools such as Firebase and Sentry, and cloud infrastructure on AWS

Nice to Have

• Experience with A/B testing frameworks and growth funnel optimisation in a consumer internet product
• Background in e-commerce, health-tech, or D2C consumer apps with high-frequency transactional flows
• Experience building or maintaining a shared design system across web and mobile platforms
• Prior experience at a fast-scaling startup (Series A to Series C stage) with ownership of a full product vertical

What We Offer

• Opportunity to own and shape the entire customer experience platform at a fast-growing health-tech startup
• Work directly with founders and senior leadership — your decisions will have real, visible impact
• Competitive compensation with meaningful ESOPs in a Series A company on a strong growth trajectory
• Collaborative, high-ownership culture where engineers think like product owners
• Chance to solve a real problem — making quality healthcare affordable for millions of Indians
