The Role
We are looking for an engineering manager to lead our Perform product squad, who is building patient pre-screening software for clinical research sites. This product helps sites quickly and efficiently identify eligible patients for clinical trials, significantly improving trial enrollment and outcomes.
The work of the Perform squad relies heavily on generative AI, using a mix of in-house models and third-party services. While we don’t expect you to write code regularly, we are looking for someone with strong technical insight who can guide the team and collaborate effectively with engineering and product stakeholders.

Craft: you will contribute to architecture decisions and ensure the quality of the work your squad will ship. You will guide engineers in finding the right balance between cutting corners and optimizing prematurely.
Talent: you will manage 6-8 product engineers. You will regularly provide concrete feedback on their work and overall performance. You will foster their growth by giving them opportunities to leverage their strengths. You will hire, train and onboard future team members.
Culture: you will promote Inato’s operating principles. You will lead by example and make sure they are lived daily in your squad.
Qualifications
Strong engineering background and scale-up experience: you have built a web product as a software engineer, as part of a team, in a fast-paced environment. You have faced the challenges of maintaining quality while expanding scope and of maintaining fast flow with a growing codebase.
