Engineering Leadership (NY Site Lead)

Join Abridge, a fast-growing health tech startup, as the Engineering Leadership (NY Site Lead). In this role, you will be the senior technical presence in our SoHo office, owning business-critical product areas end-to-end, setting the bar for engineering culture, and driving performance. You will build our New York engineering presence, establish the operating rhythm and quality bar, and represent Abridge engineering in New York. This is a builder's role first and a site leader's role second, with a focus on scoping and shipping product in an area that is still being defined.

• Establish the operating rhythm, quality bar, and culture of the office, making New York a place strong engineers want to do their best work.
• Take a product area from ambiguity to shipped, enterprise-grade software, setting technical direction, making architecture calls, and being accountable for the output of your team.
• Raise the execution velocity of the organization around you, setting business context for your team, partnering closely with product and design, and being a multiplier for the leaders and engineers you work alongside.

• At least 5+ years managing software engineering teams — including time as a manager of managers or as the most senior engineering leader in a location
• Track record of building something from zero to real scale, and of owning the product outcome rather than just the engineering process
• Based in New York and excited to be in the SoHo office five days a week
• A clear, well-formed point of view on AI and agentic engineering, and evidence you've acted on it
• Skilled at hiring and mentorship, with a track record of helping engineers grow their skills and careers — and of hiring quickly while keeping the bar high
• Has thrived in a fast-growing startup and knows how to operate in that environment. Excited to be hands-on in a fast-moving, productive, and supportive environment, and willing to pitch in wherever needed
• Hands-on technically. You can read and review the code your team is shipping, get into a codebase when something needs unblocking, and hold your own in a technical design discussion
• Genuine passion for Abridge's mission to improve healthcare in America and across the world
• Experience as a site lead, or as the founding senior engineering leader for a new office or region
• Experience managing or working directly with AI/ML engineering teams and shipping AI- or ML-powered product features
• Experience working in a health tech environment, or in another highly regulated, enterprise-sold domain
• Founder or early-employee experience
