Engineering Manager

What You'll Do

• 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.

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.
