Software Engineering Manager

About the Role:

Boston Scientific is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead a team of software developers building internal web applications and tools that simplify workflows, reduce manual effort, and unlock business value across the enterprise.

This role sits within an internal applications group that operates with a startup mentality inside Boston Scientific. The team builds fast, iterates often, and delivers practical solutions using an MVP mindset—balancing speed with long-term maintainability.

This position is a people and execution manager for software engineers. You will be responsible for the health, productivity, and technical execution of the development team, while partnering closely with other stakeholders. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, the ability to make sound architectural decisions, and a genuine interest in growing other engineers through hands-on guidance. Boston Scientific will not offer sponsorship or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position at this time.

Your Responsibilities Include:

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will:

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of software engineers across varying experience levels
• Set clear expectations for quality, ownership, and delivery while fostering a supportive, high-trust environment
• Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, goal setting, and career development planning
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and team growth as the organization scales

Technical Execution & Delivery

• Lead by example by setting a high bar for code quality, testing, documentation, and maintainability
• Own delivery of software outcomes for the engineering team, ensuring work is completed quickly, correctly, and sustainably
• Guide engineers in building maintainable, testable frontend and backend systems using Vue.js and Django
• Ensure engineers take full ownership of development lifecycle activities including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support
• Provide hands-on technical mentorship through code reviews, pairing, design discussions, and troubleshooting
• Balance “good enough for now” MVP decisions with long-term architectural health

Process & Ways of Working

• Establish and reinforce simple, lightweight development processes that reduce friction and unnecessary overhead
• Champion agile principles (Scrum/Kanban) with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset
• Remove blockers and shield the team from unnecessary distractions so they can stay focused on high-impact work
• Continuously improve team workflows, tooling, and development practices

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with customers, product owners, designers, and stakeholders to ensure clear requirements and smooth execution
• Translate business needs into executable technical work through strong collaboration and communication
• Act as a technical sounding board for product discussions without owning product prioritization

What We're Looking For:

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 6+ years of professional software development experience
• 2-5 years of experience in a formal or informal technical leadership or people management role
• Strong hands-on experience building web applications using:
  • JavaScript / Vue.js
  • Python / Django
  • RESTful APIs
• Experience working in agile development environments
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams delivering production software under real-world constraints

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience managing teams that build internal business applications or platforms
• Experience working with cloud-based deployments and modern DevOps workflows (e.g., GitLab CI, Kubernetes)
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture and data-driven UI development
• Experience balancing speed, quality, and technical debt in fast-moving environments
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical audiences

What Success Looks Like in This Role:

• Engineers are productive, engaged, and growing in their careers
• The team consistently delivers high-quality internal tools that reduce friction and manual work
• Development processes are simple, predictable, and continuously improving
• Technical decisions support both rapid delivery and long-term maintainability
• Strong partnership exists between engineering, product, and design without blurred ownership
• You are a trusted technical leader whose code sets the standard for the team
