About the Role:

As a Senior Engineering Manager at Orange Health, you'll lead a team of 7–12 full-stack engineers building the products that power India's fastest diagnostics lab.

You'll partner closely with product, design, and business leadership to turn ambitious healthcare goals into reliable, scalable systems that meaningfully impact people's lives.

Success in this role looks like a team that ships quickly and safely, systems that scale gracefully with our growth, and engineers who are growing in their careers under your leadership.
