Software Engineering Manager

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineering & Delivery Manager to lead and strengthen a multidisciplinary software engineering organisation supporting large-scale, mission-critical solutions.

This role will oversee multiple engineering teams and projects across solution design, software development, delivery, maintenance and future technology development. You will play a key role in improving engineering standards, delivery effectiveness and the adoption of modern technologies across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop multidisciplinary software engineering teams, including Engineering Managers, Architects, Technical Leads, Developers, QA Engineers, contractors and offshore teams.
• Oversee multiple concurrent software projects across different stages of the software development lifecycle.
• Manage resource allocation, team capacity and capability development to support project and business requirements.
• Drive engineering excellence through effective software development standards, architecture governance, quality assurance and delivery practices.
• Provide technical leadership across software architecture, cloud platforms, DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, cybersecurity and platform engineering.
• Ensure the reliable delivery and operational support of large-scale, mission-critical and high-availability software systems.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders, customers, vendors and offshore teams to manage delivery, risks, technical issues and priorities.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity, software quality and delivery efficiency through automation and AI/GenAI-enabled development practices.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and drive their practical adoption across software engineering teams.
• Establish and monitor engineering KPIs, quality metrics and delivery standards.
• Build engineering capabilities through mentoring, talent development, recruitment and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology or a related discipline.
• 15+ years of relevant software engineering experience, with significant experience in engineering leadership and software delivery management.
• Proven experience leading multiple software engineering teams, ideally including Engineering Managers, Architects and Technical Leads.
• Strong track record delivering large-scale, mission-critical or high-availability software systems.
• Experience in a System Integrator (SI) environment is highly preferred.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, modern software engineering practices, DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, cybersecurity and cloud-native technologies.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects, resources, vendors and/or offshore development teams.
• Strong understanding of AI/GenAI and its application in software engineering, with experience driving AI-assisted development, automation or engineering productivity initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and business stakeholders.
• Experience in transportation, mobility, telecommunications, banking, government, utilities or other mission-critical industries will be advantageous.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a strong engineering leader rather than a hands-on developer — someone who can provide technical direction, lead multiple teams, improve engineering practices and deliver complex software systems reliably.

If you have a strong background in software engineering leadership, mission-critical systems and modern engineering practices, and are excited about using AI/GenAI to transform how engineering teams work, we would like to hear from you.
