About the role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join the Business Performance Team in Berlin.
Your mission will be to enable seamless, secure connectivity between healthcare systems by building and scaling Doctolib's self-service integration platform; making system integrations effortless and accessible to healthcare providers across every market we operate in, from a single platform rather than country by country.. You will lead a hybrid team working on the technical backbone that powers Doctolib's international expansion, contributing directly to reducing integration time by 75% and unlocking 500+ certified integrations for 400K+ health professionals and 80M+ patients.
Working in the tech team at Doctolib means building innovative products and features to improve the daily lives of care teams and patients.
What you'll do
Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Lead a hybrid team of ~8 engineers (internal employees and contractors), growing internal talent while holding contractors accountable for delivery, and shaping how the two work together as the platform scales
Own end-to-end delivery of integration projects on the platform, ensuring reliability, scalability, and building to national interoperability standards with full compliance to healthcare standards (HL7, FHIR R5/R6)
Drive backend architecture decisions in a JVM-focused stack (Java, Kotlin), championing FHIR-native design and interoperability best practices
Build integrations as a platform that scales across partners, countries and products
Partner with Product, and cross-market engineering teams across France, Germany, and Italy to align on platform priorities and roadmap
Champion AI adoption within the team, enabling MCP-native patterns and AI-assisted integration tooling as part of Doctolib's platform strategy
Mentor and grow internal engineers, while maintaining high delivery standards and engagement with your full team.
Who you are
Before you read on: if you don't have the exact profile described below, but you feel this job description matches your skill set, we still encourage you to apply.
You'll be a great fit if you:
You have at least 6+ years of software engineering experience and 3+ years of engineering management experience, including leading large or hybrid teams (internal engineers + contractors), ideally 8+ people
You have a strong background in backend and system-to-system integration: APIs, middleware, and healthcare data exchanges, with hands-on familiarity with JVM ecosystems (Java, Kotlin)
You have experience with healthcare IT integrations, including standards such as HL7 and FHIR, and working within regulated, compliance-driven regulated environments
You can differentiate your management approach between developing internal engineers and driving delivery from external contractor profiles, with proven success in both
It would be fantastic if you:
Have exposure to AI tooling in engineering workflows: coding agents, LLM-assisted development, or MCP-native patterns
Have delivered products across multiple countries or international markets
