Software Engineering Manager

Overview

WHO are we looking for?

A Software Engineering Manager who combines people leadership, technical leadership, and hands-on development. The manager leads software engineers and, where assigned, other associates who work on our agile development teams, while contributing as an active developer on one of those teams. Success in this role means developing people, guiding sound technical decisions, and delivering high-quality, secure software that achieves business outcomes.

Responsibilities

People Leadership

• Lead and manage software engineers and, where assigned, other associates on agile development teams, providing clear direction, coaching, and support
• Coach and mentor team members through regular feedback, pairing, knowledge sharing, and stretch assignments, building independent judgment and future technical leaders
• Set goals, conduct performance reviews, and support professional development plans throughout the year
• Assist in recruiting and onboarding engineering talent

Hands-On Development & Technical Leadership

• Contribute production code, automated tests, debugging, and code reviews as an active developer on one agile development team
• Partner with the Software Engineering Director and Technology Architects to define engineering standards and best practices, then turn them into practical decisions that balance delivery, maintainability, reliability, security, and technical debt
• Uphold architectural, coding, and security standards through design reviews, risk-based code reviews, and automated quality and security checks for both human-written and AI-assisted code
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices that enable small, reviewable changes, automated testing, repeatable deployments, and fast feedback
• Support delivered solutions with application-level diagnostics, monitoring, and troubleshooting, coordinating clear ownership and handoffs with QA, Product, and Infrastructure teams

Agile Delivery & Collaboration:

• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and daily stand-ups as a developer and technical leader, contributing estimates and identifying dependencies and risks
• Act as a liaison between engineering teams and business stakeholders, translating business requirements into technical deliverables
• Communicate project status, risks, and dependencies to leadership and cross-functional teams
• Promote accountability and continuous improvement, using application- or service-level delivery and quality trends and developer feedback to find bottlenecks rather than relying on code volume, commit counts, or individual velocity

AI-Assisted Engineering

• Use and demonstrate approved AI-assisted development tools for implementation, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting, coaching associates to validate outputs, protect sensitive information, and remain accountable for their changes
• Partner with the Software Engineering Director and relevant specialists on small proof-of-concept efforts with clear success criteria, using quality, delivery, maintainability, and cost to decide whether to adopt, refine, or stop an approach

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• 10+ years in software development, including 2+ years in a leadership or managerial role and recent hands-on experience building and supporting production software
• Experience delivering enterprise applications using secure software development practices, preferably in regulated industries
