Engineering Manager

The OpportunityHinge Health is hiring an Engineering Manager for our Growth Data Platform (GDP) pod in Bangalore. This is a pivot-point role for a leader who is ready to move beyond traditional software management and lead a team into the era of AI-Native Engineering and ML-Driven Growth. The GDP pod is the engine room of Hinge Health's growth strategy. You own the data pipelines, event streams, and the emerging "Intelligence Layer" that powers every member interaction—from the first ad they see to the "Daily Streak" notification that keeps them pain-free. In 2026, your mission is to transform GDP from a data mover to a decision engine. You will partner with Data Science to operationalize high-value ML models (like our Direct Mail Propensity Model and Contextual Bandits) that autonomously decide the channel, content, and timing of our marketing. Simultaneously, you will pioneer our "Harness Engineering" initiative, transforming your pod's workflow from manual coding to managing autonomous AI agents that build, test, and verify our data infrastructure. You will lead a high-performing team in Bangalore, serving as the strategic bridge between SF Product Strategy and technical executionWhat You’ll Accomplish Build the "Intelligence Layer": Move beyond simple data piping. Architect the real-time decisioning layer that ingests ML signals (e.g., Churn Risk, Propensity to Convert) and routes them instantly to execution platforms like Iterable.Operationalize Growth ML Models: Partner with Data Science to take predictive models out of the lab and into production. You will own "Phase 3" of the model lifecycle: hardening, serving, and monitoring models that control millions of dollars in marketing spend.Lead the Transition to Harness Engineering: Drive the adoption of AI-native workflows (using tools like Cursor and Claude Code). Shift the team’s focus from "typing code" to building the test harnesses, specs, and safety rails that allow agents to autonomously maintain our pipe
