We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team working on backend systems built mainly on a Java / Spring / Oracle / PostgreSQL stack. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on running a stable team, delivering reliably.

• Keep the team productive, focused, and unblocked
• Support engineers in their technical and career growth

Delivery

• Own delivery of features and improvements from planning to release
• Work with product and stakeholders to agree on scope and timelines
• Track progress, manage risks, and step in when things drift

Technical Oversight

• Stay close enough to the code to understand challenges and trade-offs
• Review and guide design decisions (mainly within an existing monolithic system)
• Ensure code quality, consistency, and maintainability
• Help the team make pragmatic decisions (not over-engineering solutions)

Systems & Stack

• Backend development in Java (Spring ecosystem)
• Databases: Oracle and PostgreSQL
• Primarily monolithic applications, with some modularization efforts where needed

Collaboration

• Work with QA, product managers, and other teams
• Communicate clearly on progress, blockers, and trade-offs
• Represent the team in planning and coordination discussions

Requirements

• Solid background in Java backend development (5-10+ years)
• Min 2 years of experience leading a team (or strong tech lead ready to step up)
• Experience working on monolithic systems and maintaining existing production codebases
• Good understanding of Spring, relational databases, and backend architecture
• Comfortable balancing hands-on technical work with people management

Nice to Have

• Experience with both Oracle and PostgreSQL
• Familiarity with legacy systems and gradual modernization
• Experience improving development processes in a pragmatic way
