Engineering Manager (m/f/d)

At voize, we’re revolutionizing the healthcare industry with AI: Nurses simply speak their documentation into their smartphones, and our AI automatically generates the correct entries. This saves each nurse an average of 39 minutes per day, improves the quality of documentation, and makes their daily work much more rewarding.

Voize is YCombinator-funded, already in use at over 600 senior care homes, and has grown by 100% in the last 90 days. Our customers save over 3.5 million hours annually – time spent on people instead of paperwork.

But this is just the beginning. With our self-developed voize AI, we’re transforming not only the healthcare industry, but also have the potential to create value in many other sectors – from healthcare to inspections.

As a dynamic team, we blend cutting-edge technology with social impact. And now, it’s your turn to join us!

💡 Your Mission:

As an Engineering Manager (m/f/d) you lead a team of engineers building the products that thousands of care professionals rely on every day. You’re a former software engineer ideally a tech lead who made the move into leadership without leaving the technology behind. You grow people, shape how the team works, and still sit at the table when architecture decisions are made. You bring the energy and pace of a fast-moving scale-up and help your team ship high-quality, scalable, and reliable software – fast.

🚀 Your Daily Business – No two days are alike

• Lead, grow, and develop a high-performing engineering team

Hire top talent, run meaningful 1:1s, give clear and honest feedback, and create real growth paths so every engineer on your team levels up.

• Stay hands-on and drive technical design together with your engineers

Take part in technical discussions, review designs and code, and co-own architecture decisions with your team – you lead by understanding the details, not from a distance.

• Foster an inclusive, high-trust, high-ownership culture

Create an environment where engineers feel valued, empowered, and psychologically safe – while keeping the bar high.

• Align technical direction with product and company strategy

Work closely with Product and leadership to make sure engineering priorities drive business impact, balancing speed with long-term technical health.

• Ensure high-quality, scalable, and reliable software delivery

Champion best practices for testing, architecture, and code quality to keep our systems performant, secure, and scalable.

• Own execution and keep the momentum high

Drive planning, unblock the team, manage risks proactively, and make sure we deliver on what matters – at scale-up speed.

• Continuously improve how we build

Shape engineering rituals, developer experience, tooling, and CI/CD workflows to reduce friction and maximize impact.

• Collaborate closely with ML, Product, Data, and GTM

Bridge engineering and other disciplines so everyone is aligned on technical and business needs.
