Software Development Manager

Hi there Thanks for stopping by

Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Wellyou might just be in the right place

What you’ll be doing:

- Coach, mentor, guide, and motivate a team of hard working engineers from all backgrounds. This includes all aspects of people management including hiring and training team members, and using tools like great 1:1s, peer programming, whiteboarding or training sessions
- Help your team deliver code in a high trust environment using continuous delivery, ensuring the team has a great delivery cadence and a strong connection with stakeholders (using demos, retros, blameless incident reviews, etc.). While you won’t be as hands-on with the code as your team are, you’ll still be leading by example, writing code, helping with code reviews, and fixing bugs; as well as providing technical advice and documentation for systems/processes
- Evaluate the performance of the technical architecture of our infrastructure and adopt industry trends

What you need to bring:

- Proven technical experience having worked in a Senior Software Development role
- Prior experience in technical leadership to deliver solutions to complex problems, including previous experience architecting solutions and managing delivery
- Significant experience working on major systems in one or more languages, ideally having worked on a SaaS product previously
- Previous people leadership experience is ideal, otherwise you’re ready to take the leap into team leadership
