Our V-Track platform integrates GPS tracking, AI-powered video telematics, and real-time data to drive safety and efficiency.

We are in a pivotal phase of growth and looking to expand technology team.

Why Join Velocitor Solutions As the Manager of Software Development, you will lead and develop Velocitor’s 30+ person engineering organization, balancing hands-on technical leadership with strategic vision. You’ll lead engineering for a 24x7 platform operating at enterprise scale, unite our onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams into one high-performing organization, make AI-assisted engineering the default way we work, and report directly to the CTO, collaborating closely with project, product, platform, and quality leadership to shape the company’s technology direction.

Role Summary The Manager of Software Development is the functional leader for Velocitor’s software engineering team, responsible for the people, skills, and engineering standards behind a high-volume, 24x7 telematics platform: the V-Track web platform, APIs, mobile applications (iOS/Android), and client integrations that process real-time GPS and telemetry data from more than 200,000 assets for Fortune 500 clients.
