Job description

We are seeking an exceptional, business-savvy, and technically accomplished IT Delivery Manager with 10 to 14 years of IT industry experience to lead our enterprise software delivery portfolios. In this role, you will own the strategic delivery roadmap, operational execution, and engineering excellence for multiple cross-functional teams building and modernizing large-scale systems on Java/Spring and/or .NET/C# stacks. You will act as a strategic bridge between executive business leaders, product management, and engineering teams, driving robust Agile delivery frameworks while maintaining high standards of code quality, architecture scalability, and cloud governance. The ideal candidate has transitioned from a solid technical background (originally as a Software Developer, Tech Lead, or Architect in Java/.NET) into a seasoned delivery leader capable of managing multi-million-dollar portfolios, driving engineering transformations, and mentoring next-generation tech leaders.

Responsibilities

• Direct and govern the end-to-end delivery of a multi-million-dollar portfolio of enterprise applications built on modern Java and .NET stacks
• Champion and scale Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) across multiple distributed product engineering teams, optimizing velocity, cycle time, and release predictability
• Manage and optimize the portfolio budget, forecasting resource needs, controlling operational expenses (OpEx/CapEx), and ensuring high ROI
• Establish robust delivery governance, identify systemic delivery risks early, and implement proactive mitigation plans to protect critical business timelines and SLAs
• Orchestrate end-to-end software delivery for complex, enterprise-level Java/.NET applications using Agile (Scrum or Kanban) methodologies
• Adapt traditional Agile metrics (team velocity, sprint burn-down, cycle time) to analyze and optimize productivity gains achieved through GenAI tools
• Coordinate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, ensuring development workflows seamlessly integrate AI code generation, automated unit testing, and code review
• Partner closely with Enterprise Architects to guide development teams migrating legacy monolithic codebases into modern cloud-native (AWS, Azure, or GCP) microservices
• Provide high-level technical oversight for teams delivering in Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate) or .NET (.NET Core, .NET 8+, C#, ASP.NET Web API)
• Champion continuous improvement in delivery pipelines, driving automated testing, robust CI/CD maturity, DevSecOps adoption, and cloud infrastructure optimization
• Partner with VP/C-level executives, Product Owners, and Business Units to translate long-term business strategy into actionable technical delivery roadmaps, while overseeing offshore/nearshore partners, SOWs, and vendor contracts
• Direct, mentor, and inspire a high-performing organization of Project Managers, Scrum Masters, Tech Leads, and Software Engineers, fostering a culture of psychological safety, accountability, and continuous upskilling (including AI-assisted engineering tools like Copilot)

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a business-related discipline
• 10-14 years of overall IT industry experience, including at least 1-2 years in an IT Delivery Manager, Program Manager, or Delivery Manager role managing multiple concurrent software development teams
• Proven track record of successfully managing enterprise portfolios with budgets exceeding $5M+ and teams of 50+ engineers
• Background in software engineering with hands-on experience in Java (Spring frameworks, Spring Boot, J2EE legacy) and/or .NET (C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core)
• Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), cloud-native design patterns, and serverless architectures
• Familiarity with containerization technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker
• Knowledge of distributed database environments (SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, NoSQL)
• Expertise in modern integration technologies (Kafka, RabbitMQ, API Gateways)
• Proficiency in scaling Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) across distributed engineering teams
• Competency in CI/CD maturity, DevSecOps adoption, and automated testing practices
• Capability to manage project scopes, timelines, resource allocation, and multi-million dollar budgets
• Skills in stakeholder management, vendor negotiation, and executive-level communication
• English proficiency at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher
