Senior Software Engineering Manager

Aiden Technologies, Inc

32d

About The Position

Aiden is seeking a high-caliber software development leader to run the engineering organization behind the Aiden product set: AidenBot, AidenVision, AidenStudio, and Aiden Policy Editor. This is a multi-product leadership role, not a single-codebase role.
The person in this seat owns the operating cadence, staffing accountability, release discipline, quality management, architecture coordination, and budget stewardship required to deliver reliable product value on a consistent cadence. Just as importantly, this leader owns the design, vision, continuous improvement, and ultimate success of Aiden’s software development lifecycle (SDLC), including how the company plans, builds, tests, secures, releases, and learns from software delivery.
This role has direct managerial responsibility for software development team resources, including quarterly performance conversations, annual performance reviews, coaching, hiring, accountability, and day-to-day leadership of the people on the team. The role works closely with the co-Founder & CTO, Sean Maloney, senior engineering contributors, QA, Product, Customer Success, Security, Finance, and other cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software development leadership experience, including management of engineering teams, releases, quality, and roadmap execution.
• A strong track record leading multiple workstreams and distributed teams with cross-functional dependencies.
• Credible technical depth in modern software development, architecture oversight, SDLC design, and engineering process leadership.
• Demonstrated comfort with direct managerial accountability, including hiring, coaching, performance management, quarterly conversations, and annual reviews.
• Experience leading quality-assured release cycles with measurable standards around timeliness, quality, uptime, and incident response.
• Experience managing engineering budgets, vendors / contractors, and tradeoffs between cost, speed, and quality.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate with executives, engineers, customers, auditors, and investors.
• Experience with Agile / Scrum / Azure DevOps or similar development operating systems.
• Comfort operating in a smaller, high-accountability growth company where the leader must combine strategy, detail, and hands-on management discipline.

Nice To Haves

• Experience leading engineering teams building enterprise SaaS, endpoint management, Windows-based systems, cybersecurity-related products, or IT operations software.
• Experience with Microsoft-oriented ecosystems, database / application performance oversight, integrations, release governance, and cross-functional product delivery.
• Experience in AI-assisted software development, agentic development workflows, AI-enabled QA, or modern human-plus-agent engineering models.
• Experience rebuilding or professionalizing an engineering organization that needed stronger delivery rigor, quality control, and release reliability.
• Exposure to SOC 2, development governance, security reviews, and audit support.
• Success working with globally distributed and partially fractional engineering teams

Responsibilities

• Engineering delivery across AidenBot, AidenVision, AidenStudio, Aiden Policy Editor, reporting initiatives, AskAiden-related capabilities, and related integrations.
• The operating rhythm of the software development organization, including standups, sprint planning, backlog hygiene, architecture reviews, release readiness, defect triage, and escalation handling.
• A reliable release cadence with rollback readiness, strong QA discipline, and fewer production surprises.
• Direct people management for software development resources across product engineering, QA, release operations, architecture coordination, and product-facing database / application performance collaboration.
• Cross-functional coordination with teams responsible for infrastructure, core IT, access control, software licensing, cloud resources, and security governance so that development requests follow the right approval and control processes.
• Vendor and contractor management across software development workstreams, including scope, quality, accountability, and cost effectiveness.
• A disciplined, AI-forward engineering model that uses AI-assisted engineering, agentic workflows, and modern development approaches to increase speed, leverage, and capital efficiency without weakening architecture, governance, or release reliability.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO
• Equity in a hyper-growth startup
• Healthcare + dental + vision coverage
• Regular training to help nurture your talents and grow within the company
• Growth opportunities (Aiden is scaling, and we prefer to promote from within)
• Work closely with all levels of people in the business in a culture where everyone has an equal voice.
