Job Summary

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a small, globally distributed team of .NET and DevOps engineers. This is a player-coach role with a clear primary focus: modernizing and standardizing our .NET codebase and management posture. You will write production code alongside them, review their work with depth and intent, and provide the mentorship and craft development our existing technical leadership does not.

You will also hold delivery accountability for a two-person DevOps team by ensuring work is well-defined, assigned, and moving. You will not be hands-on in infrastructure yourself. You will report directly to the VP of Engineering and work in close partnership with our .NET Architect and Engineering Ops Director.

What You’ll Do:

For the .NET team (primary)

• Manage.NET engineers by setting expectations, running effective 1:1s, and owning each engineer's growth and performance.
• Write production code and review PRs with genuine depth; your technical credibility is the foundation of your coaching.
• Mentor engineers across all three dimensions: modern .NET patterns and practices, general engineering craft (design, testing, review culture, observability), and career development.
• Partner with our .NET Architect on the ongoing migration from .NET Framework to .NET Core — owning delivery sequencing, removing blockers, and contributing directly to code migrations.
• Constructively challenge the Architect's technical direction when warranted; you are an independent voice, not a relay.
• Translate architectural decisions into well-scoped work — clear tickets, sequenced workstreams, realistic sprint commitments.

For the DevOps team (secondary)

• Hold delivery accountability for two non-US-based DevOps engineers and one part-time contractor — ensure work is understood, assigned, and completed without unnecessary delay.
• Run sprint ceremonies in partnership with our Delivery Manager; keep the team well-coordinated with dependent product and infrastructure work.
• Maintain working knowledge of our AWS and Azure environments sufficient to ask the right questions, assess risk, and escalat[e] appropriately — without doing hands-on infrastructure work yourself.

Across both teams

• Surface execution risks, cross-team dependencies, and scope concerns early.
• Hold the team to engineering quality standards: code review rigor, observability practices, deployment reliability, and incident response.
• Partner with the VP of Engineering and peer EMs on post-merger culture integration: engineering ladder, onboarding standards, and shared practices.
• Recruit, onboard, and retain strong talent as the team evolves.

What We Need:

• Proven track record managing software engineers directly — hiring, developing, and holding people accountable to results.
• Strong hands-on .NET and C# background — you write production code, review with substance, and can have a peer-level conversation with a senior Architect.
• Experience mentoring engineers across craft dimensions: not just what to build, but how to think about design, quality, and professional growth.
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices — CI/CD, containerization, cloud platform operations on AWS and/or Azure — sufficient to manage a DevOps team without being a practitioner.
• Comfort operating in a globally distributed team across time zones; async communication rigor is non-negotiable.
• Clear, proactive communicator who surfaces risks early and keeps stakeholders aligned without hand-holding.
• Ability to build structure in ambiguity — we are standardizing tooling and process as we go.
• Background as a strong IC who grew into management; you still find energy in the code.
