Software Engineering Manager

About the role

AxisCare is hiring a full-time, fully remote Software Engineering Manager to build and lead high-performing engineering teams and to help us reimagine how software teams work in the age of AI.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day health of your teams. Help engineers develop great daily habits, strong communication, and reach the next level, including helping them grow from engineers who only write code into engineers who direct AI effectively.
• Partner with product and design counterparts to quickly get from "important customer problem" to "working software," favoring rapid iteration over upfront resolution of every ambiguity.
• Partner with staff engineers on technical direction, code design, and systems thinking.
• Set a high standard of excellence and lead by example, including in how you and your team adopt AI tools and rethink your workflows.
• Stay hands-on by running spikes, prototyping, and exploring ideas your team hasn't had time to chase, without taking on critical-path work.
• Coach engineers to use AI as a core part of how they build: when to trust the output, when to throw it out, and how to maintain code quality when the machine is doing the typing.
• Teach them to fish rather than doing it for them.
• Challenge your team's assumptions about how software gets made. Question old habits inherited from the era of scarce coding time (exhaustive PRDs, excessive backlog refinement, premature mockup fidelity, story-point ceremony) and encourage cheaper, faster paths to working software.
• Create an environment where engineers think about the whole problem, not just the code: understanding customer needs, system dynamics, and what it takes to run software reliably in production.
• AI makes it dangerously easy to build the wrong thing quickly, so clear thinking about what to build matters more than ever.

Requirements

• An AI power user with substance and good judgment.
• A systems thinker.
• A strong writer and compelling storyteller.
• A humble, always-a-student approach to management itself.
• Able to work remotely from the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones.
• Qualified to work in the United States.

Qualifications

• Track record managing software engineers on teams building full stack web applications.
• Demonstrated, substantive use of AI development tools in your own work, not just encouraging your team to use them.
• Able to work remotely from the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones.
• Qualified to work in the United States.

Skills

• Experience building with PHP and React, or closely analogous stacks.

Benefits

Medical insurance is covered in full for the employee (Medical, Dental, and Vision).

The company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment.

Pay

TBD based on job experience and skill level.

Schedule

Full-time, fully remote position.

About AxisCare

According to Pew Research, roughly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and the American Society on Aging calculated that an American has a 70% chance of needing help with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, hygiene, etc. This has led to an unprecedented increase in Home Care agencies in the U.S. and abroad who strive to help those who have difficulty helping themselves, specifically offering non-medical (also referred to as non-skilled) services to seniors in their homes. AxisCare was started in 2011 by industry leaders to help meet the demand for a more user-friendly and mobile-compatible solution. Our product is a web-based management platform that helps agencies manage CRM and marketing, Caregiver/Client scheduling, billing, payroll and much more. Headquartered in Waco, TX, AxisCare has clients in all 50 states as well as 6 other countries. We are a fast-growing company seeking high-performing individuals looking for a fast-paced, autonomous working environment.
