Engineering Manager

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a Product Engineering team in our Automation Domain in Berlin.

The Automation Domain is responsible for building and owning Nelly’s SaaS and AI products - everything from onboarding new medical practices, the Doctor, Patient, and Back Office portals, to automating bureaucracy and practice workflows, and the AI Scribe, Billing Agent, and Treatment Plan generation products.

The role

You'll lead a fast moving AI enabled team that is building a new, but central, product. You’ll ensure the team is able to explore, experiment, and iterate quickly - testing new features and ideas internally and with our customers.

The product is new, giving you the opportunity to define the product with the team based on experimentation. The team needs to learn fast and be able to let go of ideas that don’t work. You’ll guide the team through this process, striving to improve how the team operates and enabling it to move faster.

The team is growing quickly, giving you an opportunity and responsibility to hiring a high performing team and define how it operates.

About Nelly

We are building the AI-Driven Financial Operating System for European healthcare, solving the biggest challenges for patients and practices. We create what no bank or software platform can handle. Our all-in-one platform transforms chaotic administrative processes into intelligent, automated workflows, from patient care to billing to next-generation payments. Because we truly believe: healthcare should be less about paperwork and more about people.

Why? Because Europe is facing a massive shortage of medical professionals. And if we don't rethink the way practices work, the system won't be able to keep up. With our Series B funding of over €50 million from world-class investors, we are turning our vision into reality.

What sets us apart: We work with the best team, which is why we give everything together every day. We believe in Talent Density, because exceptional people make everyone around them better. At Nelly, we move fast and expect everyone to keep up. Stagnation isn’t an option, which is why we invest heavily in growth. AI isn't a nice-to-have at Nelly. We expect you to use it every day and give you everything you need to do so. You get trust and ownership and we expect you to speak up, even when it's uncomfortable.
