Are you a hands-on Engineering Manager with the leadership skills to guide a team delivering and supporting business-critical applications across a diverse technology stack, including Node.js/React, Python, SQL Server, and cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)?
In this role, you'll provide technical leadership for legacy platforms, specifically ColdFusion (CFML) and Windows C++ desktop and service-based applications, with a strong focus on reliability, maintainability, and pragmatic modernization.
Engineering Managers in our organization balance people leadership, delivery ownership, and technical strategy, while remaining close enough to the technology to unblock teams, resolve complex issues, and lead by example.

Technical Leadership (Hands-on “Player/Coach”)
- Provide architecture and design leadership to ensure solutions are scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable
- Conduct code and design reviews, reinforcing engineering best practices and sound system design
- Deep dive into complex production issues across frontend, backend, and database layers to restore service and prevent recurrence
Modern Web Development (NodeJS / React / Python / SQL Server)
- Lead development and ongoing support of NodeJS services/APIs and React web applications with clean, extensible architecture
- Oversee SQL Server data design and performance, including schema design, complex queries, stored procedures, and tuning
- Ensure strong API integration patterns (RESTful and internal services), resiliency, and secure-by-design practices
Cloud Leadership (Azure & GCP)
- Lead engineering execution across Azure and GCP environments, including deployment readiness, operational reliability, and scalability
- Promote engineering practices aligned with hosted and cloud-native architectures, high availability, and operational excellence
Legacy Systems Leadership (ColdFusion & Windows C++)
- Provide technical leadership for ColdFusion applications (CFML, CFCs, custom tags, modular design), including integration with modern web stacks
- Lead support and modernization of Windows C++ desktop and service-based applications, including debugging, performance optimization, and reliability improvements
- Guide teams working within legacy codebases while implementing practical modernization steps and maintainable architectures
Delivery, Tooling, and Release Discipline
- Ensure structured engineering workflows using Git-based version control and disciplined release processes
- Partner closely with QA, Product, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders to maintain high quality and release readiness across environments
Key Competencies:
- Hands-on leadership: Engages directly in code, design, and production issues to unblock teams when needed
- Execution discipline: Manages delivery predictably while balancing risk, quality, and stakeholder expectations
- Pragmatic modernization mindset: Stabilizes legacy platforms while progressing toward cleaner, more maintainable architectures
- Strong communication: Clearly translates complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences
Leadership & Project Management
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and foster collaboration
- Strong project leadership experience managing multiple initiatives and complex service delivery aligned with business objectives
- Agile Product Management or Agile Leadership certification highly preferred
