Beacon Biosignals is a Boston-based company that combines wearable EEG and advanced AI to capture and analyze real-world neural data to advance brain health.
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. We are the leading at-home EEG platform supporting clinical development of novel therapeutics for neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared Dreem EEG headband and AI algorithms enable quantitative biomarker discovery and implementation. Beacon’s Clinico-EEG database contains EEG data from nearly 100,000 patients, and our cloud-native analytics platform powers large-scale RWD/RWE retrospective and predictive studies. Beacon Biosignals is changing the way that patients are treated for any disorder that affects brain physiology. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Beacon Datastore is the heart of Beacon's platform, serving as the foundational data layer that every tool, service, and application depends on. As a Senior Manager, Engineering reporting to the VP of Platform, you'll manage 5-7 engineers and will be responsible for the continued development and success of the Datastore. Your team’s decisions about data architecture, API design, reliability, and performance will have compounding effects across the entire Beacon product ecosystem. You’ll be expected to shape the team’s technical direction, drive its engineering standards, and ensure it's integrated effectively and communicating well with the rest of the organization.</span></div> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Beacon’s asynchronous work practices support a strong remote experience, with in-person hubs in Boston, New York, and Paris. The Platform domain is distributed across American and European time zones. This role is located in the US, with a preference for candidates near our Boston or New York hubs.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What success looks like</span></h3> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As a successful engineering manager at Beacon, you'll...</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Coach your direct reports to pursue opportunities that increase their impact at Beacon, and guide them through the challenges they encounter along the way.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Develop a deep understanding of the Datastore and the broader Platform product ecosystem, and actively share that context to drive continuous improvement of the team's processes and its integration with Beacon as a whole.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Cultivate an environment where engineers learn constantly and collaboratively, and treat setbacks as opportunities for growth.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Act as a steward of Beacon's engineering practices and maintain high bars for engineering quality, productivity, and accountability while motivating the team to continuously raise those bars over time.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Help your team scope and prioritize tactical week-to-week work in direct connection with Beacon's wider strategic initiatives.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ensure your team's development roadmap is outcome-oriented, current, aligned with company objectives and other teams' priorities, and communicated clearly to stakeholders across Beacon.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Own project management for team initiatives: defining scope, managing timelines, and setting expectations internally and externally.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Partner with quality and regulatory stakeholders to ensure the team's development processes meet design control requirements without sacrificing engineering momentum, and lead the team in continuously improving how it does both.</span></li> </ul> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What you will bring</span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You have 4+ years directly managing mid-sized software engineering teams that have tackled big problems, and can speak to the underlying processes that drove their failures and successes.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You love seeing teams level up.
