Job Overview :

As a Software Engineering Manager, you lead a team of engineers delivering reliable, scalable, and high-impact software. You are a servant leader - focused on enabling your team to succeed, grow, and build excellent products. You are deeply involved in both people management and technical execution, partnering closely with Product, Design, and other stakeholders to turn customer needs into working software.

You provide technical oversight while also managing the team's execution rhythm - from sprint planning to delivery. You create an environment where engineers can do their best work, and you're proactive in removing blockers, clarifying priorities, and coaching individuals toward their goals. You hold a high bar for quality and help your team achieve it through sound process, strong collaboration, and clear expectations.

You also play a key role in operational ownership. You ensure the systems your team owns are observable, resilient, and well-maintained. You drive post-incident learning, continuous improvement, and a culture of accountability - never blame. You understand that your role is not just to ship software, but to shape a healthy, high-performing team.

What you'll do :

• Lead a team of software engineers, providing coaching, feedback, and career development support.
• Drive delivery of software projects, ensuring alignment with business priorities and technical goals.
• Participate in technical design and architecture discussions, offering guidance without micromanaging.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with business, product, UX, and other engineering teams to define and scope work.
• Promote engineering excellence through code quality, testing, observability, and DevOps best practices.
• Own team-level operations, including on-call rotation, incident response, and service health.
• Recruit and onboard new team members and help shape our engineering hiring processes.

What You Should Already Have :

• 2+ years of people management experience; 5+ years in software engineering roles.
• Proven ability to lead teams delivering production software at scale.
• Strong technical background - able to understand, critique, and support design and architectural decisions.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, capable of working with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders.
• Experience in agile delivery environments with a focus on DevOps and operational ownership.
• Empathetic and direct leadership style; able to give feedback, grow talent, and support healthy team dynamics.

What We Will Give You :

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $115,000 to $145,000, reflective of experience and impact.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including extended health, dental, and vision coverage - with 100% of monthly premiums covered by the Spring.
• GRSP matching program to support your long-term financial goals.
• Transit-Friendly Employer (Transit allowance).
• A modern, collaborative workspace in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
• Ongoing career growth opportunities and the chance to help shape Spring Financial's technology strategy and team culture.
