Senior Software Engineering Manager, Software Applications

What You Will Do

• Lead multiple engineering teams responsible for the design, build, modernization, integration, and support of software applications
• Own technical direction across a portfolio that includes modern platforms, business-critical applications, integrations, APIs, and legacy systems
• Partner with product, business, architecture, operations, and delivery leaders to translate business needs into scalable engineering solutions
• Drive modernization strategies for legacy applications, including decomposition, platform evolution, integration simplification, and reduction of technical debt
• Act as the senior technical leader for the organization by making sound architecture decisions, reviewing designs, and setting a high bar for engineering quality
• Contribute directly when needed through design reviews, debugging, code reviews, solution modeling, technical spike work, and hands-on problem solving
• Establish and enforce strong software engineering practices including testing, observability, CI/CD, version control discipline, secure coding, and operational readiness
• Build strong engineering teams by hiring, coaching, mentoring, and developing software engineers and technical leaders
• Create a culture of accountability, technical excellence, continuous learning, and customer-focused delivery
• Lead incident response and escalation management for critical production issues, ensuring fast resolution and durable corrective action
• Manage delivery across multiple workstreams with clear prioritization, measurable outcomes, and transparent communication to stakeholders
• What Makes This Role Different
• This leader is expected to operate with principal-level engineering capability, not simply manage engineers
• The role requires strong technical credibility across application architecture, software delivery, integration patterns, modernization, and production support
• The leader must be able to challenge designs, improve implementation approaches, and personally help teams through difficult technical situations
• Success in this role depends on balancing strategic leadership with direct engineering engagement
