Overview:

We're seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on the integration, customization, and support of enterprise SaaS platforms. This is a people leadership role — not hands-on coding — ideal for someone with a technical background who has transitioned into strategic and people-focused management.

Role Specifics:

• This is a full-time people management position with no coding responsibilities.
• Focus is on supporting and evolving a variety of business-critical platforms used across departments like HR, Finance, Legal, and more.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and mentor a cross-functional team of software engineers, product owners, QA professionals, and project managers.
• Manage delivery and support of enterprise SaaS solutions with a strong focus on customization and integration over ground-up development.
• Foster a collaborative, high-performing team environment that emphasizes innovation, ownership, and rapid delivery.
• Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and engineering, aligning goals and removing blockers to ensure delivery success.
• Coordinate with architecture and QA teams to ensure scalable, reliable, and high-quality solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement efforts, including process refinement and system optimization.
• Oversee resource planning, budgeting, and vendor coordination for third-party software platforms.

Core Requirements:

• 5+ years of software development experience, ideally with a background in .NET.
• 2+ years of experience managing software engineering or technical delivery teams.
• Strong understanding of SaaS customization, system integrations, and platform support.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and sprint planning processes.

Must-Have Technical Knowledge:

• Familiarity with enterprise SaaS platforms, system integrations, and back-office technologies.
• Experience supporting or managing platforms such as OnBase, Kofax, RabbitMQ, or similar systems.
• Understanding of cloud architecture (preferably AWS), including cost awareness and service configuration.
• Strong grasp of system design principles, technical dependencies, and operational resilience.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Prior hands-on experience with .NET technologies before transitioning into management.
• AWS Certification or similar cloud credentials.
• Exposure to enterprise platforms like Workday, or experience with document management systems.
• Familiarity with message brokers (e.g., RabbitMQ), EDA patterns, or microservices.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills with a collaborative, servant-leadership approach.
• Ability to align cross-functional teams and drive consensus among technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strategic thinking with a focus on business outcomes and long-term platform stability.
• Strong mentoring capabilities with a passion for growing talent and fostering autonomy.
