About Us

Nourish is on a mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well. Nutrition-related chronic disease is the largest and most overlooked crisis in the world, and food can be medicine. We’re building an AI-native, patient-friendly healthcare system centered on nutrition—live in all 50 states with thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform.

We’ve partnered with national health insurers and provider groups, raised substantial funding from top-tier investors, and are rapidly scaling our teams to build technology that transforms how people engage with their health.

In 2026 we raised a $100M Series C, bringing total funding to $215M. The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, Atomico, , and .

This is not a job for everyone. We hold an extremely high bar because we believe talent density is our biggest competitive advantage. We're looking for people who actively choose hard, ambiguous problems, who run toward unglamorous work, give and receive candid feedback, and bring relentless resilience without the ego. Our work is important, but we are not self-important. We do this because we’re solving one of the hardest problems in the world, and the problem matters. If that's you, we disproportionately reward it.

About the Role

Nourish is seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead Provider Supply. Reporting to our Director of Engineering, you’ll own the team responsible for ensuring Nourish has the provider capacity to meet growing patient demand — and that providers can build predictable, rewarding careers on the platform.

Your team owns technology across the provider journey, from application and onboarding through scheduling, productivity, earnings, and retention. You’ll grow provider supply through two primary levers: helping existing providers operate at their full potential and creating a seamless, high-converting path for new providers to join and activate on Nourish.

This team is tackling a foundational challenge for Nourish: scaling our provider network to serve patients across the country. First, we’re rebuilding the scheduling and capacity system so providers can set achievable caseload goals, trust Nourish to fill their calendars, and earn predictably. Second, we’re transforming application through activation from a human-heavy recruiting process into a thoughtful, product-led experience — with data and automation handling repetitive work while people step in at the moments where they have the greatest impact on supporting providers in their onboarding at Nourish.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys developing engineers, shaping products, remaining close to architecture and implementation, and the details of marketplace dynamics. You’ll work closely with provider recruiting, onboarding, provider strategy, product, design, data, and finance to build systems that balance patient access, provider experience, and business performance.

This is a full-time role. We strongly prefer candidates based in New York City or San Francisco, with exceptions for truly exceptional candidates. Check out Engineering at Nourish to learn more about our team and what we’ve already built.

Key Responsibilities

Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of 4–6 engineers with strong technical ownership.
Coach engineers through regular feedback, career development, calibration, and performance management.
Scale the team through recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding.
Stay hands-on through architecture, pair programming, coding, code reviews, and on-call.
Partner with product and design to write requirements, shape roadmaps, scope work, plan sprints, and deliver measurable outcomes.
Drive thoughtful decisions around system design, code quality, observability, reliability, and scalability.
Establish effective team rituals, including sprint planning, OKR planning and reporting, quarterly planning, and retrospectives.
Operate with urgency and sound judgment in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Set the technical and product direction for Nourish’s provider supply platform.
Build scheduling and capacity systems that help providers set achievable caseload goals, manage their availability, fill open appointments, and earn predictably.
Improve the provider application-to-activation funnel through experimentation, automation, lifecycle-based referrals, and thoughtfully designed recruiting and onboarding experiences.
Create human-in-the-loop systems that automate repetitive operational work and direct recruiting and operations teams toward the highest-value interventions.
Build the data foundations needed to understand provider capacity, forecast supply, measure funnel conversion, and make effective marketplace decisions.
Connect improvements in provider growth and productivity to patient access, provider retention, operational efficiency, and Nourish’s ability to scale.
Partner closely with provider recruiting, onboarding, strategy, operations, product, design, data, finance, and clinical leadership.

We’d Love to Hear from You If You:

Have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with modern full-stack technologies and 2+ years of hands-on engineering management experience.
Have hired engineers and managed performance, promotions, and career development.
Remain technical enough to pair program with your team and contribute directly when needed.
Bring exceptional product judgment: you can write a PRD, critique or mock a design, size an opportunity, and make progress without waiting on a PM.
Are highly proficient with React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, or similar modern stacks.
Have shipped and owned production systems in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
Are comfortable using data and experimentation to improve complex funnels, workflows, or marketplace systems.
Balance people leadership with technical depth, delivery focus, and clear communication.
Are energized by Nourish’s mission to improve people’s health by making it easy to eat well.

Nice To Have:

Experience with marketplaces, scheduling or capacity-management algorithms
Growth funnels
Operational Automation
Workforce technology, provider-facing products
Regulated technology.
