DEX Software Engineering Manager leads the engineering team responsible for designing, developing, deploying, supporting, and continuously improving forecourt systems software — including fuel dispenser applications, payment infrastructure, and media/display integration. This role owns technical delivery for a mission-critical, high-volume retail environment spanning thousands of forecourt sites and reports to the Software Engineering Manager (DEX).
** KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITES****:*
* · Lead a team of engineers responsible for designing, developing, deploying, supporting, and continuously improving DEX forecourt applications and services, including dispenser software, payment integration, and media/display systems.
· Guide well-architected forecourt and cloud-connected retail platform designs that balance performance, reliability, scalability, security, maintainability, and cost.
· Provide hands-on technical leadership across embedded Linux (Ubuntu), Java, Python, Node.js, REST APIs, AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SNS/SQS, Cognito), and CI/CD practices.
· Oversee integration with fuel dispenser hardware and OEM platforms (Gilbarco/GVR Flex Pay, Invenco, Dover Anthem) including CRIND firmware, SPOT protocol, and Conexus XML standards.
· Drive dispenser payment and media integration work, including display/screen protocols, Neocloud media APIs, and secure device communication.
· Own security posture for embedded forecourt devices, including Secure Boot, TPM2-sealed LUKS encryption, firmware update (fund) processes, and PCI/P2PE compliance across the payment attack surface.
· Integrate forecourt applications with cloud-hosted AWS services using secure, event-driven patterns, monitoring, and access controls.
· Champion reliable dispenser-to-cloud transaction flows by improving device communication, offline/online resiliency, observability, and incident response for field-deployed hardware.
· Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity, code quality, testing, and documentation.
· Lead vendor-facing technical engagement with forecourt hardware and payment partners (Gilbarco/GVR, Invenco) on integration issues, support escalations, and roadmap alignment.
· Build an automation-first engineering culture across device provisioning, deployment, configuration management, testing, monitoring, and self-service tooling (e.g., install/documentation distribution portals).
· Mentor engineers in secure software development, embedded systems, cloud architecture, Dev Ops, testing, debugging, and production support for field hardware.
· Partner with product, Info Sec, IT strategy, field operations, hardware vendors, and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, manage backlogs, communicate progress, and deliver customer-focused outcomes.
· Manage project delivery, vendor relationships, and support commitments across a distributed fleet of forecourt devices, with clear prioritization and transparent reporting.
· Evaluate emerging forecourt technologies, dispenser platforms, and cloud capabilities that improve reliability, security, and total cost of ownership across the fleet.
