Engineering Manager (Remote, Fluent Russian)

About the role

MEDvidi, an AI-powered mental healthcare platform combining licensed providers with proprietary AI tools, is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of its engineering tracks. This is a leadership role focused on people management and organizational change rather than delivery management: the person who spots what needs to change across the engineering organization and changes it without being asked.

Key responsibilities

• Drive engineering-wide initiatives, technical and non-technical, beyond the boundaries of your own teams, and show the results in numbers.
• Enable engineers instead of directing them, so they own their delivery, hiring and technical direction.
• Hire, onboard and grow engineers at multiple levels, set a clear performance bar and address underperformance early, openly and fairly.
• Promote the use of AI agents by engineers, covering adoption and practices.
• Partner with product managers to ship intuitive, reliable user experiences while teams stay autonomous.

Required profile

• 3+ years managing engineers in a product company (not agency or outsourcing).
• 2-3 examples of engineering or process change you started and measured, with effects beyond your team.
• Comfortable being hands-off: no code, no architecture ownership, no technical authority.
• Experience working without a layer of team leads and architects between you and engineers, or having removed such a layer.
• Has handled underperformance early and transparently and has grown senior-level engineers.
• Uses AI agents in daily work and has driven their adoption beyond yourself.
• Fluent Russian.

What we offer

• High-impact environment in a product-driven medical tech company.
• Clear growth opportunities and a competitive compensation package.
• Fully remote long-term collaboration under a B2B model.
• Health insurance after the probation period, plus sports and wellness compensation.
• Personalized English lessons via Preply.
• 22 paid vacation days per year, 5 additional wellness days and paid sick leave for the first 5 working days.
• Gifts for key life events and offline corporate events.
