With our core values of Simplicity, Safety, Transparency, Humility, Attention to Detail, Autonomy and Growth guiding everything we do, we're shaping the future of automation in dynamic markets.
The Software Development Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management and administrative leadership of one of ASI's software engineering teams. This role is focused on team health, process discipline, project coordination, and organizational effectiveness. The ideal candidate has enough software background to communicate credibly with engineers and understand team context but will lean heavily on the technical expertise of the team itself. You will own the people, the process, and the plan. In addition to people and process management, this role serves as the product owner for embedded software systems, owning backlog prioritization and ensuring the team's roadmap aligns with broader platform objectives.

Responsibilities

• Maintain awareness of individual workload distribution and proactively address imbalance or ownership gaps across high-priority work.
• Foster a team culture consistent with ASI's core values: Simplicity, Safety, Transparency, Humility, Attention to Detail, and Growth.
• Track team deliverables, milestones, and sprint commitments; surface blockers or risks to program leadership before they become schedule impacts.

• Ensure the team is following and continuously improving its embedded software development processes, including CI/CD practices, documentation standards, and code review cadence.
