About UpHill
At UpHill, we’re on a mission to revolutionize healthcare. Through best-practice clinical pathways and care orchestration software, we empower healthcare providers and life sciences companies across Europe to streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and improve care coordination — ultimately delivering better patient outcomes. At the same time, we help health systems unlock capacity and provide high-quality care in a more cost-effective way.
We’re not just another healthtech company. UpHill has built the most compliance-ready care orchestration solution in Europe. We’re a team of bold innovators who take ownership, push boundaries, and strive for excellence. If you're passionate about creating real impact, collaborating with purpose-driven colleagues, and solving meaningful challenges, you might just be an Uphiller.
About The Engineering Manager Role
Leadership at UpHill goes beyond delivering results — it’s about laying the foundation for continuous, sustainable growth.
In our fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment, delivering once isn’t enough. The real challenge lies in continuously delivering value while navigating the complexities of product development in healthcare. Continuous improvement isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It means raising the bar relentlessly and embracing a mindset of growth, clarity, and focus.
As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be a catalyst for high-performing, empowered teams. You’ll foster an environment that champions continuous improvement, nurtures talent, and cultivates a culture of shared purpose and clear context. If you’re driven by meaningful work, operational excellence, and a culture where innovation thrives, we’d love to meet you.
