Software Development Manager

We are seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead multiple engineering teams responsible for owning and delivering a Java-based SaaS product. The role will ensure on-time product releases while maintaining high quality standards. Working closely with development, QA, and product teams, the Software Engineering Manager will coordinate all aspects of product delivery and release cycles. Lead two engineering teams (including one offshore team) through all aspects of people management: sprint planning, technical code reviews, talent acquisition, performance development, and team growth. Mentor engineers in best practices and coding standards while building highly productive teams that consistently deliver on departmental objectives. Coach each team member to excel in their current role and develop clear career growth paths aligned with their goals. Own the complete development lifecycle—from requirements and architecture through implementation, testing, and integration—ensuring high-quality deliverables at every stage. Partner closely with Product Management to deliver features that align with the product roadmap while advocating for sound technical architecture and engineering needs. Develop senior engineers into domain experts who can drive technical decisions and mentor others in their areas of expertise. Champion production ownership across the teams, advancing DevOps practices including CI/CD automation, proactive monitoring, incident response, and a culture of continuous improvement in system reliability. Build resilient teams by distributing knowledge broadly, managing cognitive complexity, and ensuring critical expertise is shared rather than concentrated in individual team members. Collaborate cross-functionally, facilitate effective communication across engineering teams, and remain hands-on with technical work that advances team and company objectives. Foster a culture of innovation, psychological safety, and open communication where engineers thrive and do their best work.
