Day-to-day work spans architecting data-driven systems, building and maintaining Python-based microservices and RESTful APIs, ensuring compliance with regulated environments (HIPAA, PCI DSS, etc.), and mentoring engineers.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a genuine hybrid: the JD explicitly requires hands-on coding and architecture alongside people management (leading a distributed team, reporting to the CEO). 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary classification given the direct-reports, team-growth, and cross-department leadership duties, but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a strong runner-up given the explicit 'stay hands-on with architecture and code' framing.
The title 'Engineering Manager' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level. The actual scope (8+ years required, team leadership, direct CEO report at a growth-stage company) supports Senior.
Degree requirement is listed as 'BS or advanced degree… or equivalent practical experience' — the explicit equivalent-experience escape means no hard degree gate.
Atlassian tooling is listed as required; Jira is the canonical primary product, with Confluence as the common companion — captured as alternatives.
Healthcare industry experience is explicitly flagged 'strongly preferred,' not required — marked as preferred accordingly.
AI-assisted development tools appear in the responsibilities section (not a qualifications gate) — marked as preferred.
The role is hybrid (in-office days at Hayward, CA HQ required), so remote=false.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development.
