b.well is solving healthcare's fragmentation problem with our FHIR-based health data management platform. The platform connects data from EHRs, wearables, portals, and other sources, while our intelligence engine personalizes the consumer experience. By simplifying the complex healthcare ecosystem, we make it easy and convenient for consumers to engage and take action—whether it's scheduling care, setting reminders, accessing health data, and more. For our clients, this means better health outcomes, operational efficiency, and stronger consumer engagement.
Position Overview
b.well is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Data Interoperability team. This is a strategic leadership role for someone who can operate at both the organizational and technical level: building and scaling a high-performing engineering team, establishing the processes and culture that let that team execute at a high bar, and staying close enough to the technical details of FHIR, healthcare APIs, and data pipelines to make sound architectural calls and represent the team credibly with clinical, product, and executive stakeholders.
This leader will own the people and delivery strategy for the team responsible for building and maintaining real-time data pipelines and infrastructure that connect to thousands of healthcare data sources nationwide, bringing together a person's full health record in one place.

Own performance management, career development, and growth planning for direct reports; create clear paths for ICs to grow into senior and staff roles
Coach engineers and any team leads on technical judgment, communication, and delivery ownership; run the cadence of 1:1s, performance conversations, and promotion advocacy that builds a strong bench
Establish team culture, working norms, and cross-functional processes that let a growing team scale without losing quality or velocity
Partner closely with Product, Clinical, Data Science, and other Engineering leaders to define priorities, resolve tradeoffs, and keep interoperability work aligned to company strategy
Technical & Architectural Ownership
Drive technical strategy and oversee delivery of Patient Access APIs, Provider Directory APIs, and Bulk FHIR APIs in compliance with the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule
Oversee connections to national networks (Carequality, CommonWell, eHealth Exchange, TEFCA) and integrations across a wide range of EMR and HIE/HIN systems
