Senior Engineering Manager - Patient Engagement (100% Remote within Poland)

Welcome to the good side of tech 👋

You might have heard about us, but with a different name: Znany Lekarz. It all started 12 years ago when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and we empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visit. We then provided doctors with the technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could devote themselves to what they always wanted: treating patients. And today is the day in which we ask you: wanna join us in the next step of making the healthcare experience more human?

Docplanner at scale

We are leaders in 13 countries so far, and more than 90 million patients trust us every month. 300k+ specialists believe in us and our product, and so do leading venture capital funds such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and One Peak Partners. And yet, employing over 2.500 people all over the globe, we managed to keep the startup-mindset we started with over 10 years ago.

And why should you join us?

Because it feels good to tell your family and your friends how you made the world a little bit better. You go to bed knowing that what you do matters, and that your talents align with your beliefs.

We want to make the healthcare experience more human, and that starts with you being you. We believe that taking the diversity of human experience into account makes a better healthcare experience for all . We’re not just different: we embrace diversity. We will encourage you to come to work your whole self, and that includes not coming to the office at all if you prefer not to, as we're 100% remote friendly.

Job Description

Docplanner is fostering the reinvention of product development, and above all transforming how we approach coding with AI. We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who will lead this transformation from the front lines, while owning the Patient Engagement area.

You will lead a group of 7–9 engineers organised into several small squads, each owning a distinct business goal. Your job is to keep those squads fast, focused and genuinely AI-native, and to stay hands-on in the code yourself. This is not a hands-off role.

What makes it different is the mindset it asks for. AI-assisted coding is already part of how we work; the next level is turning it into a step change in how quickly we go from an idea to a validated answer. That takes a founder's instincts i.e. running cheap experiments to test assumptions, dropping what doesn't work, and repointing a squad when the user need turns out to be different from what we assumed.

The scope is meaningful: Patient Engagement initiatives that directly impact how people interact with their healthcare, focusing on engagement, retention and continuity of care. These aren't just features; they're tools that help real people better manage their health.

What Success Looks Like in 6 Months

You're making deliberate trade-offs between foundational work and fast experimentation, and you can explain the calls: what you invested in, what you deliberately deferred, and why.

The engineers reporting to you are visibly growing, engaged, and raising their own bar.

Your squads are delivering faster and at higher quality, with AI-enabled workflows becoming the default way of working.

You're personally shipping. Writing code and delivering features at a healthy, steady pace. Setting the bar for what good AI-enabled development looks like in practice.

Patient Engagement is showing tangible improvements in engagement, retention and continuity of care.

But the real indicator of success? Other teams start knocking on your door. They want to understand your workflows, adopt your practices, and replicate your results. Not in theory, but in ways that actually ship better patient experiences, faster.
