Job Overview

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a team with a focus on platform engineering, developer tooling and automation systems. In this role, you’ll lead a multidisciplinary team spanning QA, DevOps, and build systems, ensuring the software delivery pipeline is scalable, fast, and reliable.

With at least one year of leadership experience, you’ll support and grow a team responsible for enabling developer productivity, system reliability, and release automation. You will collaborate cross-functionally to identify bottlenecks, optimize tooling (e.g., GitHub workflows), and evolve CI/CD infrastructure. You’ll also partner with engineering leadership to drive quality, speed, and stability across the entire development lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a team of platform engineers, QA analysts, and DevOps specialists, ensuring alignment on team goals and technical priorities.
• Oversee the development, improvement, and maintenance of internal build systems and developer tools.
• Drive automation initiatives across testing, deployment, and infrastructure processes.
• Maintain and optimize GitHub workflows and CI/CD pipelines to support fast, reliable delivery.
• Manage the QA strategy to ensure strong test coverage and efficient, low-risk release cycles.
• Collaborate with development teams to identify pain points in the SDLC and deliver tooling improvements.
• Support observability and incident-readiness efforts across shared platform systems.
• Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and continuous mentoring of engineers to grow team capability.
  
  

What You Should Already Have

• 1+ years of engineering management experience, including cross-functional team oversight.
• 5+ years of software engineering or platform/infrastructure experience.
• Proven success with build systems, developer tools, or CI/CD automation (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI).
• Experience working closely with or managing QA and DevOps functions.
• Strong understanding of platform reliability, release engineering, and automation.
• Clear, empathetic communication and a growth-oriented leadership style.
  
  

What We Will Give You

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $110,000 to $150,000, 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.
