Our expertise spans IT infrastructure management, custom software development, seamless system integrations, and optimization of low-code business automation, empowering clients to maximize their existing technology investments.\n\nJoin us and be part of a team where your voice matters, your work makes an impact, and your growth is a shared priority.\n\nPosition Title Manager, Software Engineering \n\nPosition Location Remote - work virtually from anywhere in the United States \n\nJob Summary\n\nAI2IO is seeking a Manager, Software Engineering to lead the people, capability, and operating environment behind software that extends Autodesk Revit and supports architecture, engineering, construction, commissioning, and design workflows. The team builds and supports Revit add-ins, Blazor applications, integrations, installers, deployment services, licensing components, and related tools that streamline specialized engineering work. This is a formal people-management role for all engineers and Software Engineer Technical Leads on the Engineering Tools team. Candidates must bring a strong software-engineering management foundation and meaningful AEC and Revit domain experience. Candidates who combine software-engineering management with hands-on Revit use in mechanical, electrical, BIM or design technology, commissioning, or comparable engineering workflows will be especially well aligned. \n\nEssential Functions\n\nThis role grows from complete ownership of people leadership and the Engineering Tools delivery environment toward broader workforce strategy, AEC and Revit capability development, productization readiness, management-system improvement, and organizational leadership. As the organization grows, expand impact through multi-team capability planning, development of technical and people leaders, management-system improvement, workforce strategy, and resolution of organizational challenges beyond the assigned specialty. \n\nLead and Develop Engineers \n\nServe as the formal people manager for all engineers and Technical Leads assigned to the specialty team through regular one-on-ones, clear expectations, timely feedback, performance reviews, professional development planning, and credible support for every direct report. \n\nProvide recognition and development feedback throughout the year and address sustained performance concerns through clear expectations, documented support, follow-through, and appropriate organizational processes. \n\nConnect individual goals to meaningful assignments, coaching, learning, mentoring, and increasing ownership without promising advancement before readiness is demonstrated. \n\nPartner with Technical Leads to understand technical contribution and development needs while retaining accountability for career evaluation, formal performance decisions, employee relations, and team health.\n\nBuild Team Capability and Leadership Depth \n\nMaintain a current view of capacity, critical skills, experience distribution, key-person dependencies, succession risk, and staffing needs. \n\nIdentify capability gaps and coordinate learning, pairing, assignments, mentoring, hiring, and onboarding plans. \n\nDevelop future Technical Leads and management candidates through scoped assignments, calibrated feedback, explicit readiness criteria, and partnership with current leaders. \n\nReduce leadership and knowledge-continuity risk through distributed ownership, documentation, coverage, and succession options. \n\nOwn the Sustainable Delivery Environment \n\nEnsure teams have sufficient staffing, capability, role clarity, decision pathways, tools, and organizational support to deliver sustainably. \n\nPartner with Technical Leads and Project Managers on delivery health, risk, dependencies, capacity, and recovery without replacing technical or project-management ownership. \n\nEnsure material delivery problems receive appropriate management intervention, including staffing changes, escalation, cross-team negotiation, or leadership decisions. \n\nReview recurring delays, incidents, rework, quality concerns, support burdens, and workload imbalance to identify organizational or capability improvements. \n\nProtect teams from sustained overload and commitments incompatible with available capacity. \n\nConnect Software Teams With AEC and Revit Context \n\nUse practical Revit and AEC fluency to help software engineers understand the design, BIM, commissioning, and project-delivery context surrounding Engineering Tools work. \n\nHelp Product Owners, Business Analysts, Technical Leads, and engineers clarify organization-specific Revit content, standards, parameters, families, model structures, workflows, and downstream constraints without assuming product or technical authority. \n\nRecognize when staffing, sequencing, support, or training approaches do not reflect real design workflows, supported Revit versions, model integrity, user productivity, or discipline-specific needs. \n\nFacilitate clear communication between software specialists and mechanical, electrical, commissioning, BIM, design-technology, and field stakeholders. \n\nPromote solutions and practices that are understandable, supportable, maintainable, reusable, and appropriate for real engineering project conditions. \n\nBuild Specialized Engineering Tools Capability \n\nOwn workforce capability, staffing, development, and training plans spanning C#/.NET, Revit add-ins and API patterns, Blazor applications, data and integrations, installers, deployment, licensing, diagnostics, quality, support, and commercialization readiness. \n\nEnsure the team has the mix of software-engineering and AEC-domain capability required to maintain internal tools while preparing selected products for broader use. \n\nDevelop learning plans that help software engineers understand Revit workflows and help domain practitioners work effectively with software teams. \n\n Reduce single-person dependencies in organization-specific workflow knowledge, deployment, installer behavior, licensing, supported-version strategy, model-dependent testing, and operational support. \n\nSupport Productization, Deployment, and User Readiness • Partner with Technical Leads, Architects, Product Owners, Project Managers, Software Quality, Product Adoption, and support partners on releases, deployment, licensing, installation, compatibility, documentation, training, and support. \n\nPlan the people, process, and capability changes required when selected internal tools are prepared for affiliate, contractor, client, or public use. \n\nUse domain awareness to identify risks involving organization-specific content, external users, permissions, data handling, installer behavior, licensing, support, and adoption. \n\nEnsure credible support and escalation coverage for Revit add-ins, Blazor applications, integrations, installers, deployment services, and licensing components. \n\nBuild Healthy, Candid Team Practices \n\nEstablish practices that support candid discussion of risks, uncertainty, mistakes, technical disagreements, workload concerns, and alternative viewpoints without individual blame. \n\nAddress observable patterns such as unresolved conflict, sustained overload, escalation failures, knowledge bottlenecks, or reluctance to surface delivery problems. \n\nMaintain reliable communication rhythms so engineers understand priorities, decisions, role boundaries, and available support. \n\nAddress performance, conduct, and employee-relations concerns through appropriate management processes rather than transferring formal accountability to Technical Leads. \n\nLead Hiring, Selection, and Onboarding \n\nPartner with the Director on workforce planning, role requirements, interview plans, evaluation criteria, and hiring priorities. \n\nLead structured and equitable selection processes, calibrate interviewers, document evidence, and make clear candidate recommendations. \n\nOwn consistent onboarding expectations, including role clarity, access, relationships, learning objectives, 30/60/90-day plans, and ramp check-ins. \n\nEvaluate onboarding effectiveness through independence, role understanding, contribution, and feedback and improve the process based on evidence. \n\nIdentify retention risks early and coordinate appropriate responses. \n\nMaintain Clear Leadership Boundaries \n\nPartner with Technical Leads, who own technical feasibility, estimates, dependencies, execution health, engineering standards, implementation direction, and team-level technical decisions. \n\nPartner with Architects, who own cross-team architecture, technical standards, governance, and long-term technical direction. \n\nPartner with Project Managers, who own the integrated schedule, formal stakeholder communication, scope coordination, project governance, and overall delivery process. \n\nPartner with Product Owners and Business Analysts while preserving their authority for product value, priority, requirements, workflow analysis, and backlog readiness. \n\nUse technical and domain fluency to understand risk, ask informed questions, clarify context, develop people, and improve the environment without becoming the default Technical Lead, Architect, Product Owner, Business Analyst, or Project Manager. \n\nImprove Management Systems and Organizational Effectiveness \n\nLead improvements to performance management, career development, hiring, onboarding, workforce planning, team operating practices, and leadership continuity. \n\nIdentify patterns spanning teams and coordinate improvements with peer Managers, Technical Leads, Architects, Project Managers, Product Owners, Business Analysts, and the Director. \n\nContribute to department-level capability planning, organizational design, role definition, career frameworks, cross-team staffing, leadership development, and organizational change. \n\nEvaluate whether adopted practices improve clarity, fairness, staffing effectiveness, internal growth, management consistency, and sustainability. \n\nRepresent capacity, capability, succession, and organizational risk in department planning with concise evidence and decision-ready recommendations. \n\nPerforms Other Related Duties as Assigned \n\nWhat Success Looks Like \n\nDirect reports understand expectations, receive timely feedback, and have credible development plans spanning software engineering, Revit, AEC workflows, deployment, quality, support, and product readiness. \n\nThe team has sufficient staffing, role clarity, technical leadership, domain fluency, training, and organizational support to deliver and support Engineering Tools sustainably. \n\nSoftware Engineer Technical Leads retain technical authority while receiving effective management partnership and realistic AEC and Revit context. \n\nOrganization-specific Revit content, standards, parameters, families, model structures, and workflows become understandable context without exposing unnecessary proprietary detail or displacing product and technical owners. \n\nReleases have appropriate organizational readiness for supported Revit versions, installers, deployment, licensing, documentation, training, support, and user adoption. \n\nThe team is increasingly prepared to support selected tools beyond internal users, including the people, process, product, quality, licensing, deployment, and support capabilities broader distribution requires. \n\nKey-person risks across Revit knowledge, organization-specific workflows, add-in development, deployment, licensing, quality, and support are reduced. \n\nManagement practices remain consistent with the broader Software Engineering organization while adapting to model-dependent products and specialized AEC workflows. \n\nPosition Requirements\n\n8+ years of professional software engineering or closely related technical-delivery experience, including at least 2 years of formal people management within a software
