Software Engineering Manager

Sourceability® is a global digital distributor of electronic components transforming how modern businesses bring products to market. With innovation, quality and logistics as the backbone of the company, Sourceability's cutting‑edge products and services expedite the procurement process across a wide range of industries, including communications/cellular, consumer electronics, and auto manufacturing.

Sourceability is building a new Global Engineering Organization (GEO) to strengthen internal software delivery, improve production ownership, and build long‑term engineering capability inside the company.

We are looking for a hands‑on Software Engineering Manager to help build and lead the Software Engineering function within GEO. This role will be responsible for managing distributed software engineering teams, building team capacity, improving delivery discipline, enforcing engineering standards, and making sure our software teams can reliably support critical business platforms.

This is a functional engineering management role. The Software Engineering Manager will manage people, capacity, hiring, performance, delivery discipline, and engineering standards. Product Managers/Product Owners will own business intake, prioritization, backlog readiness, user communication, and UAT coordination. Team Leads/Architects will own detailed technical design, architecture decisions, code quality, and hands‑on technical execution.

The right candidate should be comfortable building structure in an environment where teams, processes, ownership boundaries, and support models are still being formalized.

This role is hybrid from our Austin, TX office.

• Lead and manage distributed software engineering teams across multiple geographies and time zones.
• Build the Software Engineering function inside GEO, including team structure, hiring plans, onboarding, performance feedback, and engineering career development.
• Manage engineering capacity across product groups such as Source Core, NLP, Mobile App/Computer Vision, Legacy PHP, and other internal platforms as needed.
• Partner with the CTO, Product/Delivery Managers, and technical leaders to translate business priorities into practical engineering execution plans.
• Partner with Team Leads/Architects to ensure strong technical design, code quality, maintainability, and production readiness.
• Establish and enforce engineering standards, coding practices, code review expectations, quality benchmarks, and documentation discipline across software teams.
• Own engineering execution discipline across software teams, including capacity planning, delivery tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and quality expectations.
• Ensure engineering work is planned, tracked, and reported through agreed delivery tools and processes, including Azure Dev Ops where applicable.
• Establish clear software ownership for production support, L3 escalation, defect resolution, root cause analysis, and technical debt reduction.
• Identify single points of failure in software ownership and build backup coverage across critical systems.
• Work closely with QA, Dev Ops, DBA, Infrastructure, Security, and Product/Delivery teams to improve release readiness and reduce production risk.
• Serve as the functional escalation point for software engineering risks, working with Team Leads/Architects to resolve technical blockers and cross‑team dependencies.
• Track and report team capacity, delivery progress, engineering risks, and team health to GEO leadership and senior stakeholders.
• Build a healthy engineering culture based on ownership, practical communication, technical quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including hands‑on software development background before moving into management.
• 3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, preferably distributed across multiple locations or time zones.
• Experience building or scaling engineering teams, including hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, coaching, and team structure development.
• Strong practical understanding of modern software development…
