Software Engineering Manager

The Opportunity

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead and grow a team responsible for building and scaling SELECT, DoiT's cloud cost management platform. You'll play a critical role in shaping the product roadmap, technical strategy and the growth of the engineering organization.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll partner first and foremost with our engineers, and with product, design, and executive leadership to drive execution, improve engineering effectiveness, and deliver meaningful outcomes for customers. While this is not an individual contributor role, we're looking for a leader with a history of product and engineering excellence who can confidently set technical direction, scrutinise and guide engineering designs and decisions, and develop our engineers.

You'll join a highly collaborative, fast-moving team operating with startup agility while benefiting from the resources and scale of DoiT. As SELECT continues to grow following its acquisition by DoiT, you'll have a significant opportunity to set the direction of the product, team, and engineering culture.

Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Partner with engineers to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable products across our application, data platform, and infrastructure. We use scalable to reflect both performance and also from a product cohesion and expansion perspective.
Lead technical discussions and architectural reviews, helping teams make thoughtful trade-offs between speed, quality, scalability, and customer impact.
Drive engineering excellence through strong development practices, code quality standards, observability, reliability, and operational maturity.
Provide technical guidance across technologies including Python, FastAPI, Postgres, dbt, Dagster, Snowflake, and cloud-native services.
Ensure decisions consciously evaluate short term and long term considerations of speed, maintainability, and growth.

Team Leadership & People Management

Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of engineers through coaching, feedback, and career development.
Create an environment that promotes accountability, ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning.
Conduct performance management, goal setting, growth planning, and regular one-on-one meetings.
Partner with Talent Acquisition and leadership to attract, interview, and hire exceptional engineering talent.
Help scale the organization while maintaining a strong engineering culture and high hiring bar.

Execution & Cross-Functional Leadership

Partner closely with Product and Design to align technical execution with business priorities and customer needs.
Drive planning, prioritization, and delivery across multiple initiatives while balancing technical investments and feature development.
Identify risks, dependencies, and operational bottlenecks early and proactively drive resolution.
Foster strong communication across engineering, product, sales, and leadership.
Establish and improve engineering processes that increase team effectiveness and delivery predictability.

Operational Excellence

Own team health, and operational performance.
Drive improvements in reliability, performance, incident response, and service ownership.
Champion a culture of continuous improvement through retrospectives, measurement, and experimentation.
Ensure teams maintain a high standard of documentation, testing, and technical decision-making.

Qualifications

5+ years of software engineering experience, including experience building and operating production systems.
2+ years of engineering leadership or management experience leading software engineering teams.
Strong technical background in backend engineering, data modelling and data-intensive systems.
Experience working with technologies such as Python, FastAPI, Postgres, dbt, Dagster, Snowflake, or similar modern data platforms.
Demonstrated ability to lead architectural discussions and influence technical direction without being the primary individual contributor.
Experience partnering with Product and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver customer-focused outcomes.
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage engineers, executives, and business stakeholders.
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and highly collaborative environment.

Bonus Points

Experience building SaaS products in startup or high-growth environments.
Experience with FinOps, cloud cost management, cloud infrastructure, or data platform products.
Experience leading distributed remote engineering teams.
Experience scaling teams and processes following periods of rapid growth or acquisition.

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you will:

Support, maintain and grow engagement and performance in the engineering team.
Increase delivery velocity while maintaining technical quality.
Establish strong cross-functional partnerships across Product, Design, and Leadership.
Shape the roadmap and architecture of the SELECT platform.
Raise the bar for engineering execution, operational excellence, and team development.
Play a key role in scaling both the product and the organization as SELECT continues its next phase of growth within DoiT.
