7h • $145,000 - $185,000

About The Position

You are a hands-on engineering leader who builds great teams and ships great software. As Software Development Manager, you will build a new team from the ground up focused on modernizing ShareGate's architecture, setting the technical direction, staying close to the code, and earning the trust of your engineers.
This is not a purely people-management role. We expect you to lead from the front.

Requirements

• 3+ years as a Software Development Manager, with a strong background as a software developer.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Proven experience leading modernization efforts, including legacy migration, re-architecture, or meaningful technical debt reduction at scale.
• Deep engineering fundamentals: able to set standards, review work credibly, and raise the bar across a team.
• Experience building teams, not just managing them, hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers from the ground up.
• A track record of developing engineers, influencing peers and directors, and collaborating effectively with Product and Design.
• Comfortable with Agile, whether Scrum, Kanban, or Lean, and pragmatic about how you apply it.

Nice To Haves

• A background in leadership or management training is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build and shape a new team from the ground up, hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers who will own modernization work.
• Define and drive the technical direction for re-architecting and modernizing ShareGate's platform.
• Oversee the full software development lifecycle, from planning and execution to hands-on contributions in code, design, and quality.
• Drive engineering excellence across testing, security, observability, reliability, and performance, while optimizing delivery flow through CI/CD, automation, and tooling standards.
• Set clear expectations, manage technical debt pragmatically, and communicate trade-offs transparently with stakeholders.
• Coach and develop team members through technical challenges, 1:1s, performance reviews, and a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to frame, scope, and deliver high-value, pragmatic solutions while anticipating risks.
• Play an active role in departmental strategic planning and contribute to key cross-team initiatives.
