Slingshot AI is the team behind Ash, the first AI designed for mental health. Our mission is to make support more accessible and help people change their lives in the ways they want.
We’re building a world-class team by empowering individuals with the autonomy, flexibility, and support they need to do their best work. We dream big, iterate fast, and care deeply. Our team spans machine learning, product, engineering, conversational design, clinical, growth, and operations, with offices in New York City and London.
We're a well-funded Series A company, having raised $93M from Andreessen Horowitz, Radical Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, and other top-tier investors.
The role
As an Engineering Manager at Slingshot, you will lead a product-focused engineering squad responsible for building and evolving Ash.

You will be a manager who is deeply respected by engineers, bringing humility to lead a team of experts and enabling great work rather than dictating it. You will balance strategic thinking about what to build next with hands-on contribution to our app, prototypes, and infrastructure.

- Collaborate with designers and product to define priorities, brainstorm, and translate product ideas into working user-facing products.
- Build a high-performance team that keeps our product reliable and scalable, without sacrificing rapid iteration.
