At Swoop, our mission is simple: Improving patient outcomes. As a market leader in AI-driven, data-powered, and privacy-compliant healthcare engagement, we connect the signals that drive earlier diagnosis, better treatment decisions, and sustained adherence.   Our integrated, privacy-safe platform, enables life sciences companies to drive measurable patient and commercial outcomes with actionable intelligence — spanning patient and HCP audience targeting, community engagement, AI-powered web solutions, coordinated omnichannel activation, and prescription fulfillment.   We believe our people are our greatest asset. Swoop fosters a culture of innovation and continuous learning, providing employees with rich opportunities for professional growth. This commitment to our team earned us the "Best Places to Work" recognition from Business Intelligence Group in 2025 and 2026. We are driven by a patient-first philosophy and passionate about leveraging technology to create a healthier future. After becoming an independent company in 2024, Swoop experienced significant growth and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to innovation, talent development, and enhancing the patient experience. Our acquisition of MyHealthTeam in January 2025 and Nimble in May 2026 helped us further bridging the gap between healthcare brands and patients for more impactful and targeted engagement. Empowering millions of patients nationwide to connect, share resources, and access medically verified information to better manage their health. MyHealthTeam hosts the largest and most engaged patient social networks in healthcare, offering more than 70 condition-specific communities for chronic and rare conditions. As a prescription fulfillment and patient engagement platform, Nimble empowers independent and regional pharmacies to deliver a modern, consumer-friendly healthcare experience while streamlining pharmacy operations.   If you're a driven professional seeking to make a real difference in healthcare marketing at a fast-growing, innovative company, join Swoop and help us revolutionize how brands connect with patients and HCPs. Our engineering culture places an emphasis on shared trust and no egos in a highly collaborative environment. Engineers are expected to understand the why of what they’re building and be able to work with their team to deliver impactful solutions to our customers. We move fast, stay lean, and value technical depth over bureaucratic layers. If you’re tired of meeting-only management and want to be at a place where your technical intuition is a core part of your leadership, you’ll fit right in. What you’ll do:

Leadership in the trenches - lead a team of high-performing engineers by staying close to the code. You should be able to conduct rigorous design reviews and provide technical guidance that actually moves the needle.

Bias for action - move past “flagging” problems. When a project stalls, you investigate the root cause - whether it’s a technical debt issue, a logic gap, or process friction - and do what it takes to drive towards the solution.

Technical strategy - balance immediate delivery with long-term scalability, helping the team navigate trade-offs while maintaining a relentless pace.

Mentorship through execution - grow your team by showing, not just telling. Lead by example, maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, and operational excellence.

Cross-functional navigation - partner with product, design, and data teams to ensure technical feasibility and to push back (or lean in) based on what’s best for the product’s health.

What you bring:

Technically rooted - you have a strong foundational background in software engineering (5+ years) and have spent at least 2+ years leading teams in fast-paced environments.

“In the weeds” mindset - you find joy in the details. You’re the type of manager who looks at a trace or log to understand a failure before asking an IC to handle it.

High agency - you don’t wait for permission to fix things. You have a proven track record of taking messy, ambiguous situations and driving them to a successful conclusion.

Low ego, high standards - you don’t care who gets the credit, but you care immensely about the quality of the output.

What's in it for you:

Compassionate and driven colleagues in a collaborative, high-impact environment

Direct access to executives and a transparent company cultureRare opportunity to change an industry and lives of millions

We are reinventing healthcare / pharmacy - your (grand)parents and your (grand)children will understand and appreciate what you do

Medical / dental / vision / 401(k) package that fits your needs

Generous Vacation Policy - 15 days of paid vacation in the first year, then increases to 20 days after one year

11 paid holidays
