Key Responsibilities

• Mentor newer manager hires on how SmartSolutions actually wires Spring Boot together
• Replace the brittle Unit Testing hack with an Express.js solution that survives Dover scale
• Decode the undocumented Redis service nobody at SmartSolutions remembers writing
• Stand up observability so SmartSolutions sees failures before customers in DE do
• Pull SmartSolutions's Collaboration stack out of the DE region before the migration deadline
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Trace a technology number back through CI/CD services until it finally adds up

What You'll Bring

• Hands‑on experience with modern CI/CD workflows and tooling
• 7 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Willingness to relocate to Dover, DE, or to make remote work
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself

Anchored in Dover, DE, SmartSolutions designs the kind of nimble systems that technology teams quietly depend on every single day. The unwritten rule in Dover is simple: leave the codebase kinder than you found it.

Picture $105,000 - $158,000 as the floor, not the ceiling, with growth coaching and a benefits package that actually flexes around your life.

Reopened and refreshed, the search for a manager candidate runs hot today.
