Software Development Manager

We are looking for a Software Development Manager to help scale our payments platform and expand the financial products we offer to our restaurant clients. You will be responsible for the delivery, quality, and growth of your team while acting as a key partner to product and design. You will balance hands-on technical leadership with people management, helping engineers grow and ensuring your team ships secure, reliable software that thousands of restaurants rely on to pay their vendors and manage their spend across the US and Canada.

Margin Edge is a SaaS platform that serves independent restaurants with a focus on simplifying complex operations and delivering actionable insights. Our system is cloud-hosted on AWS, with services developed using Java/Spring Boot and front-end technologies like React and React Native. Our data architecture leverages both No

SQL (DynamoDB) and relational (Postgres) databases. We also have a growing portfolio of financial products, including bill pay, integrations with third-party payment partners, virtual credit cards, and our own payments card, that move money on behalf of our clients and simplify how restaurants pay vendors and manage spend, built on integrations with our banking and card-issuing partners.

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business.

We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 12,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.

• Own the delivery strategy for your team and serve as the primary facilitator between product, design, and engineering across our payments products. You will fill gaps where your team needs them, whether that’s clarifying requirements, pressure-testing designs, or rolling up your sleeves and contributing directly when it matters.
• Lead and develop your team by fostering a high-performance culture, removing obstacles, and continuously optimizing how your team works. You'll coach engineers on using AI to accelerate their output, helping them apply it thoughtfully for code generation, debugging, and testing, while holding the bar high on quality, ownership, and technical judgment.
• Ensure accountability for support and operations across the payment systems your team owns, where accuracy and reliability are non‑negotiable because real money is moving. You'll stay closely connected to customer feedback, payment issues, and our banking and card partners, use operational data to surface recurring pain points, and advocate for the time and resources needed to address them.
• Contribute to the technical strategy and architectural decisions for your team, helping engineers make sound trade‑offs between business needs, security and compliance requirements, and software development excellence. You'll drive clarity through…
