Software Engineering Manager .NET

THIS MAY BE YOUR DREAM JOB IF:

• You take pride in your reputation for designing simple, elegant solutions and for keeping a mature, established platform healthy, secure, and continuously improving.
• You have high standards for code quality, and you understand that in an e-signature product, correctness, security, and auditability are non-negotiable.
• You enjoy the craft of sustaining engineering, methodically improving reliability, paying down technical debt, and enhancing an existing codebase rather than only building greenfield.
• You consider yourself a fast learner, driven to deepen your knowledge of software architecture, Azure, and Angular, and to keep up with new methods and best practices.
• You enjoy leading, mentoring, and growing a small team, and you are comfortable delegating to experienced engineers while staying hands-on yourself.
• Your friends and colleagues describe you as engaging, a strong communicator who is eager to bring teammates together to figure things out and to represent the team to stakeholders.
• You stay calm and methodical under pressure, whether triaging a production incident or coordinating a time-sensitive fix for a customer-impacting issue.
• You strive for high-quality, rapid output by applying Agile software development with best practices and working alongside like-minded teammates.
• You are curious and pragmatic about AI-assisted engineering, with the ability to craft effective prompts, provide the right context, and apply AI tools responsibly to improve delivery speed and engineering outcomes.
• You are self-motivated and want to work in a small team, yet you are comfortable partnering with other departments, stakeholders, and customers on enhancements, internal tools, and support issues.

AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEERING MANAGER YOU WILL BE ASKED TO:

• Lead and manage a small team of full-stack engineers, coordinating day-to-day work, setting technical direction, and supporting each member's growth through mentorship and regular feedback.
• Maintain and enhance a high-quality, secure, and scalable e-signature platform on the .NET technology stack, keeping it stable, performant, and compliant.
• Work with UI designers and product owners to implement new Angular-based features, deliver enhancements, and resolve defects across the front end.
• Own the reliability and health of the platform, including monitoring, alerting, performance tuning, and root-cause analysis, and drive continuous improvement of uptime and responsiveness.
• Uphold the security, integrity, and auditability essential to an e-signature product, including document integrity, audit trails, authentication, and adherence to relevant e-signature and data-protection standards.
• Operate and enhance the platform on Azure, applying cloud best practices for scalability, cost, resilience, and observability.
• Partner closely with Product and IT teams to plan, coordinate, and schedule deployments, applying rigorous due diligence on quality, performance, and security before each release.
• Participate in and coordinate incident response and on-call support for the platform, ensuring customer-impacting issues are resolved quickly and communicated clearly.
• Collaborate effectively with AI-enabled development tools, improving discovery, implementation, testing, documentation, and delivery efficiency.
• Identify technical requirements, prioritize enhancement and maintenance work with product owners, and participate in peer reviews of solution design and related code.
• Proactively learn the product frameworks and codebase; continually improve existing applications and adopt new technologies where appropriate.
• Clearly justify technical decisions made in delivered code and take ownership of outcomes.
• Participate in performance tuning, testing, refactoring, usability improvements, and automation; support, maintain, and document software functionality.
• Maintain coding, compliance, and security standards.
• Provide maintenance and ongoing support for current and future technical solutions.

QUALIFICATIONS:
