Senior Engineering Manager, Software

About the Company

Verto Health is a health technology company solving healthcare’s most complex data fragmentation and interoperability challenges. Our patented, AI-enabled platform ingests structured and unstructured clinical data across disparate EHRs, claims, and payer systems to create a unified, actionable view of patient populations. We empower health systems and value-based care organizations across North America to master population health by translating hidden clinical insights into personalized patient journeys, automated workflows, and accurate risk adjustments. By bridging the gap between raw data and coordinated action, Verto enables healthcare providers to reduce manual overhead, optimize operational efficiency, and deliver proactive, data-driven care at scale.
About the Role

Verto builds software that takes on some of the most stubborn inefficiencies in healthcare, and it is only worth what we can get live in the health systems we serve, reliably and at scale. As Senior Engineering Manager, Software, you own that side of the work. You will build and lead the engineering team, set the bar for what good looks like, and own what goes to production.

A big part of the job is our NLP pipelines, which turn messy unstructured clinical data into structured data and are a large part of why customers choose us. You will keep that work moving forward while raising how much the whole team gets out of AI, both the engineers and the people working alongside them.

You are comfortable taking a vague business goal and turning it into something the team can build, usually without a map to follow. You report to the CIO and work closely with Product and with our Data & AI leadership, who set product direction and own the data models while you decide how things get engineered and shipped.
What You Bring

Knowledge & Experience

• 6+ years recently leading and growing agile engineering teams, respected as both an engineer and a manager.
• Prior working experience in a product-led tech company is highly valued
• Hands-on across a modern stack (Python, Ruby, JavaScript/TypeScript) and frameworks (Rails, Flask, Angular, Vue.js).
• Solid command of Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD, with experience tuning real infrastructure on a major cloud (Azure, AWS, or Cloudflare).
• Experience putting Generative AI into products and running NLP, machine learning, or analytics pipelines, plus daily use of AI development tools.
• Comfortable across multi-database setups (PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Elasticsearch, Redis).
• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

How You Work

• A strong communicator who can align a room on a complex system and explain it just as well to people who are not engineers.
• A genuine collaborator who works shoulder to shoulder with the team and across functions, and is at ease finding the simplest workable route through a messy problem.

What Success Looks Like

• Predictable delivery: Delivery is predictable: sprints land where you said they would and enterprise work ships on time, with risks raised early.
• A stronger platform: The NLP pipeline keeps getting better while cost and inference time per note keep coming down.
• Real AI leverage: AI tools are widely adopted across the team, and more gets shipped because of it.
• A team that scales: The team is healthy and growing, with strong technical leads coming up and a co-op program that pulls its weight.

• Opportunity to see your code deployed in hospitals and clinics across Canada
• Work with a cross-functional team of healthcare professionals and technologists
• Generous professional development support and flexible work options
• Optional hybrid team with strong culture of collaboration and growth

The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $200,000 CAD per year, depending on experience, skills, and alignment with the role.
