Software Manager

We are looking for an engineering leader who can do both: drive team execution, culture, and roadmap while remaining a credible technical contributor. You'll architect a microservice platform, unblock engineers at the code level, and set the technical bar through example. You'll own delivery from design to production across container-native platforms running on Kubernetes and a monolithic architecture.

What you'll do - leadership

• Lead and grow a team of 6–12 engineers; own hiring, onboarding, performance, and career development

• Run agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and cross-team coordination

• Collaborate with product, DevOps, SRE, and security stakeholders to align on roadmap priorities

• Translate complex technical trade-offs into clear recommendations for non-technical leadership

• Foster a culture of code quality, operational excellence, and continuous improvement

• Define and track team-level KPIs: deployment frequency, MTTR, cycle time, test coverage

What you'll do - hands-on technical

• Actively write, review, and merge production-grade code in the team's primary language(s)

• Design and document microservice contracts, API schemas, and event interfaces

• Author and review Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and resource configurations

• Participate in on-call rotations and lead postmortems for critical incidents

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates used across the team's services

• Instrument services with distributed tracing, metrics, and structured logging (OpenTelemetry stack)

• Drive security-by-default practices: container image scanning, RBAC, secret management, network policies

• Evaluate and prototype new tooling, before broader rollout

Requirement

• Minimum 5–8+ years of experience in full-stack software engineering, with at least 2 years of experience leading or managing engineering teams.

• Proficient in backend development using .NET Core, Go, JavaScript, or Python in production environments.

• Proficient in frontend development, including Core JavaScript, major frameworks such as React, Vue.js, or Angular, meta frameworks such as Next.js or Nuxt, styling frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS

• Strong experience with databases and data platforms, including PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), MongoDB, Redis, Cosmos DB, Firebase, and Supabase.

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including workloads, networking, RBAC, resource management and limits, Docker image authoring, multi-stage builds, and image layer optimisation.

• Experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Tekton.

• Solid understanding of API architecture and design patterns, including GraphQL, REST, and gRPC, as well as API versioning best practices.

• Experience with asynchronous messaging and event-driven architectures using Kafka, AWS SQS/SNS, or Azure Service Bus/Event Hub.

• Production-level experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.

• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic, or Grafana.
