Software Engineering Manager

CTO

You will lead, manage, and hold accountable software engineering teams responsible for building, delivering, and maintaining scalable, high-quality software. This role blends people leadership, delivery ownership, and technical judgment to ensure teams execute effectively and ship reliable solutions aligned with business needs.

You will partner closely with Product, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders to plan and deliver work, remove obstacles, and continuously improve team effectiveness. You are accountable for delivery outcomes, team health, and engineering standards - balancing speed and quality as the organization scales.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will ....

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of software engineers, fostering accountability, growth, and a quality-first mindset
• Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and development conversations
• Support individual growth through mentorship, skill development, and clear progression pathways
• Build a collaborative, cross-functional team environment across Dev, QA, and Product
• Champion configuration-driven architecture over hardcoded solutions, enabling a "just works" experience for end users while reducing fragility and unnecessary code deployments
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies including daily standups, sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives
• Ensure backlog items entering sprints are fully ready - specified, approved, and estimated per team standards
• Remove impediments and shield the team from distractions and unplanned interruptions
• Coach the team toward continuous improvement, better estimation, and sustainable delivery practices
• Own delivery outcomes, ensuring the team ships quality software on time and within estimate
• Manage team capacity and sprint commitments to ensure realistic, achievable delivery plans
• Partner with Product and QA to plan, prioritize, and execute work effectively
• Monitor/manage work item flow through the SDLC, minimizing blockers, rework, and aging tickets (carryover)
• Identify and mitigate delivery risks early, escalating when necessary to protect timelines and quality
• Coordinate cross-team dependencies and release activities, ensuring timely communication and adherence to release schedules
• Provide clear, consistent visibility into team progress, risks, and delivery timelines to stakeholders
• Own end-to-end quality outcomes, reducing defects, rework, and QA returns through proactive engineering practices
• Provide technical guidance and input on architecture, design patterns, and engineering decisions
• Enforce engineering standards around code quality, testing, documentation, and best practices
• Advocate for engineering decisions that improve product stability, scalability and usability while reducing long-term support costs, favoring customer self-service over manual intervention
• Partner with Product to influence roadmap priorities, balancing customer value, technical debt, and engineering capacity
• Empower teams to break from standard process when severity demands it by leading response for escalated items - mobilizing cross-functional teams and driving same-day or next-day deployments to restore service levels
• Contribute hands-on when needed to unblock the team or solve critical technical problems
• Leverage AI-assisted tools and modern practices to improve engineering productivity and code quality

We’re excited about you because you have ….

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 10+ years in software engineering with progressive leadership responsibility, including managing cross functional SCRUM teams
• 10+ years architecting .NET and/or Java SaaS solutions leveraging n-tier design, microservices, RESTful APIs,…
