Full Job Description
Staff Engineer AI/ML Remote, Anywhere in the US About AnswersNow At AnswersNow, we are trailblazing the future of autism therapy, making it more immediate, accessible, and effective for families everywhere. Our innovative virtual ABA therapy platform is thoughtfully designed by clinicians to recreate the focused, supportive environment of in-person therapy, complete with distraction-free features and interactive activities that enhance engagement and progress. Our team operates fully remote—meaning you’ll have the flexibility to work from the comfort of home. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and join a team that's reshaping autism therapy, we’d love to hear from you! Why this role matters: We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who knows that great engineering leadership is about growing people, removing obstacles, and making the team better — not writing the most code. You've led teams before. You know how to hold a high bar for craft while keeping engineers energized and growing. You understand that a team of four highly effective engineers with strong habits will outperform a team of twelve with unclear expectations. You'll manage a team of Engineering Team Leads, each of whom runs a squad of full-stack engineers. You own the health of the engineering organization: hiring, performance, culture, delivery, and the processes that keep everything running. You partner closely with the CTO, product leadership, and clinical stakeholders to ensure engineering is building the right things, the right way. This is a player-coach role in spirit — you should be technically credible and able to engage meaningfully in architecture discussions — but your primary output is team output, not individual code. Job Details - W2 Employee - Full-Time - 100% Remote Job Requirements - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or staff-level role - Deep expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript in a production full-stack env
