We are seeking a Software Development Manager to lead a team of 5–6 developers and 2 QA Technicians in building and maintaining software for DMV services kiosks — and you will be one of the developers. This is a true player-coach role where you spend equal time writing and reviewing code alongside your teammates as you do managing people, process, and roadmap.

This role is as much about serving your team as it is about delivering software.
