The Mission Join a premier European HealthTech leader in Berlin that is fundamentally redefining the practitioner-patient relationship. Following the success of their core platform - used by over 90 million patients - they are now building a specialised AI Phone Assistant team.
This isn't about AI strategy or research papers; it’s about high-stakes, production-grade Voice AI. We are looking for a Hands-on Engineering Manager to lead the development of a real-time speech-to-text and LLM-driven assistant that operates in a high-compliance healthcare environment.
The Role: AI Leadership in Production As the Engineering Manager for the Phone Assistant Team, you will lead a high-performing squad of 6 engineers. You will sit at the intersection of sophisticated backend engineering and cutting-edge Generative AI.

- Lead & Scale: Drive a collaborative team culture focused on user-centricity, mentoring engineers through rigorous technical challenges.
- Production-Grade AI: Own the end-to-end delivery of Voice AI products, ensuring reliability, security, and low-latency performance.
- Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with Product leads to define the roadmap, translating health-tech requirements into scalable distributed architectures.
- Technical Stewardship: Participate in architecture reviews and remain hands-on enough to guide system design with a heavy emphasis on AI integration.
- Experience: 8 years in Software Engineering with at least 4 years in a formal leadership/management role.
- AI Specialization: Proven track record of putting Generative AI, LLMs, or Voice/Speech technologies into production. Experience with prompt/context engineering and AI safety is highly valued.
- Technical Stack: Deep expertise in complex, scalable backend systems. While the platform is cloud-native and multi-language, a strong Python background is a significant advantage.
- Leadership Style: A "driver" who can navigate a rigorous hiring process and raise the bar for engineering excellence and team engagement.
- Meaningful Impact: Build products that directly reduce the administrative burden on doctors and improve patient access to care.
- High-Bar Engineering: Work in a distributed, cloud-native environment with a culture that prioritizes security and performance.
- Berlin Hub: Enjoy a hybrid setup (3 days in-office) in the heart of Berlin's tech scene.
- Total Wellbeing: Comprehensive benefits including a Parent Care program (extra month of leave), mental health support (Moka.care), and flexible "work from anywhere in the EU" days.
- Salary: €120k – €125k
