Software Engineering Enablement Manager
About The Position
The Software Engineering Enablement Manager leads software and DevOps engineers and advances shared engineering capabilities that help development teams deliver secure, scalable, maintainable, and high-quality solutions. The role combines people leadership with hands-on software engineering and technical direction for reusable software libraries, engineering standards, developer enablement, and AI-assisted development. The manager collaborates with engineering, architecture, security, product, and delivery leaders to establish practical standards and enable consistent adoption across global delivery locations. The role may involve limited travel, additional availability during significant releases, production issues, or time-sensitive engineering initiatives, and occasional meetings outside standard local business hours to support global collaboration. RSM describes most roles as hybrid, with team members aligned to an RSM office and meeting in person when appropriate; some roles may be virtual or primarily on-site based on role requirements, team priorities, and client needs.

- Strong written and verbal communication, analytical, problem-solving, organization, and time-management skills.
- Ability to mentor, coach, provide career guidance, influence a diverse population, and lead geographically dispersed teams.
- Knowledge of object-oriented principles and modern software development practices.
Nice To Haves
- Eight or more years of software engineering experience, including experience providing technical leadership.
- Experience directly managing software engineers or other technical professionals, including performance coaching and career development.
- Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining reusable libraries, frameworks, or shared software components, including associated governance and lifecycle practices.
- Experience with .NET and React, including modern JavaScript/TypeScript development ecosystems.
- Experience defining engineering standards and enabling adoption across multiple development teams or geographies.
- Experience with cloud platforms, modern application architecture, automated testing, continuous integration and delivery, and secure software development practices.
- Experience establishing governance, quality controls, measurement, and cost-awareness practices for AI-assisted software development.
- Professional certification in cloud architecture, software development, security, or a related discipline.
Responsibilities
- Lead software and DevOps engineers by setting direction, aligning work to organizational priorities, allocating capacity, coaching performance, supporting career development, and fostering engineering excellence.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership in software design, coding, reviews, testing, maintenance, and lifecycle management of reusable software libraries and shared engineering components, with emphasis on .NET and React ecosystems.
- Define the strategy, roadmap, contribution model, quality expectations, release approach, documentation, and adoption plan for shared libraries so teams can use and contribute to them consistently across global delivery locations.
- Establish and evolve software engineering and DevOps standards, tool strategies, reusable patterns, reference implementations, automation, and development and delivery practices that improve security, reliability, maintainability, accessibility, testing, and delivery consistency.
- Lead standards and guidance for responsible AI-assisted software development that accelerates delivery while maintaining code quality, security, appropriate human oversight, measurable value, and cost discipline.
- Partner with architecture, security, product, platform, and delivery leaders to prioritize enablement needs, resolve complex technical issues, manage dependencies, and support adoption by engineering teams.
- Drive continuous improvement through automation, engineering metrics, feedback from consuming teams, technical learning, and evaluation of emerging development practices and technologies.
Benefits
- Competitive benefits and compensation package.
- Discretionary bonus based on firm and individual performance.
