Software Development Manager (On-Site)

Full Time Fort Wayne, IN, US

4 days ago Requisition ID: 2551

Job Summary: 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. We are looking for a servant leader who removes obstacles, fosters growth, builds trust, and empowers developers to do their best work. You will lead by example, stay technically engaged, and create an environment where the team can thrive.

A key strategic priority for this team is the migration of existing kiosk applications to Microsoft Azure Cloud. The SDM will play a central role in planning and driving that initiative while ensuring the stability and reliability of current production systems.

This position reports to the Director of Software Development and collaborates closely with the product team, technical operations, and cross‑functional stakeholders.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 5–6 software engineers (of which you are one) and 2 QA Technicians, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Act as a servant leader — prioritize removing blockers, supporting your team’s growth, and creating conditions for them to succeed
• Conduct regular one‑on‑ones, provide constructive feedback, and support career development for each team member
• Facilitate code reviews and uphold engineering standards across the team
• Partner with the Director of Software Development to align team priorities with business goals
• Collaborate with the product team and technical operations to plan and deliver high‑quality releases
• Write, review, and maintain production code using VB.NET and C#
• Contribute to the design and optimization of SQL Server queries and data access patterns
• Build and maintain WinForms desktop applications, including the SST client
• Build and support web applications using C# / ASP.NET, including Web Forms, Web API, .NET MVC, and RESTful APIs
• Lead the technical planning and execution of the Azure Cloud migration initiative, including Vue.js‑based front‑end modernization
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues across database, backend, and UI layers
• Make architectural decisions that balance pragmatism with long‑term maintainability

Education and Experience

• 7+ years of professional software development experience
• 2+ years in a team lead, tech lead, or management role
• Experience leading or contributing to cloud migration initiatives
• Experience working in complex, multi‑system or legacy‑integrated environments
• Strong hands‑on experience with VB.NET and C# in production environments
• Strong experience with SQL Server, including query optimization and performance tuning
• Experience with SPA, .NET MVC, Web Forms, Windows Services, and WinForms application development
• Experience with Microsoft Azure Cloud architecture and development
• Experience working on systems where performance and reliability are critical to business operations
• Experience leveraging modern AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot)
• Experience with UWP
• Experience modernizing legacy systems or working in hybrid environments
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (Selenium, Playwright)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working in regulated or compliance‑driven environments (e.g., PCI)
• Experience with devices like printers and credit card readers
• Experience working cross‑functionally with product, operations, and executive stakeholders

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• VB.NET
• C#
• ASP.NET – Web Forms, Web API, MVC, and RESTful Services
• WinForms
• Vue.js
• SQL Server
• Proven ability to balance technical contributions with people management responsibilities

• Establish trust and strong working relationships with each member of the development team
• Actively contribute to the Azure cloud migration planning and execution
• Independently deliver technical solutions involving VB.NET, C#, and SQL Server
• Identify and address team process improvements that increase delivery quality and velocity
• Serve as a reliable partner to the Director of Software Development, product team, and technical operations
• Demonstrated servant leadership approach — you lead by serving your team, not directing from above

• Demonstrated understanding of system quality attributes, including:
  • Reliability
