Software Engineering Manager

Role Description

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. You've been a software engineer, so you know what it takes to build software. But your true calling is creating the environment where engineers thrive, succeed, and grow.

There will always be a need for people who deeply understand our customers' most important problems, solve them with high-quality software, and run that software reliably in production. That's the work that endures, and you'll be building and leading the teams that do it.

We're looking for a manager who's already internalized this shift:

• Someone who pushes their team to use AI tools aggressively.
• Someone who has the judgment to know when the AI is producing confident-sounding garbage.
• Someone who helps their team develop taste and discipline, not just speed.

What You'll Do:

• Own the day-to-day health of your teams.
• Help engineers develop great daily habits, strong communication, and reach the next level.
• Partner with product and design counterparts to quickly get from "important customer problem" to "working software."
• Set a high standard of excellence and lead by example.
• Stay hands-on by running spikes, prototyping, and exploring ideas your team hasn't had time to chase.
• Coach engineers to use AI as a core part of how they build.
• Challenge your team's assumptions about how software gets made.
• Create an environment where engineers think about the whole problem, not just the code.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Technical enough to lead engineers credibly.
• Experience building with PHP and React, or closely analogous stacks.

Requirements

• Track record managing software engineers on teams building full stack web applications.
• Demonstrated, substantive use of AI development tools in your own work.
• Able to work remotely from the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones.
• Qualified to work in the United States.

Benefits

• Salary (TBD based on job experience and skill level).
• Medical insurance is covered in full for the employee (Medical, Dental, and Vision).
• Company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment.

How to Apply

Apply with a brief resume and either a written or video cover letter. We review the cover letter before anything else in your application, so this really matters. This is your single biggest opportunity to improve your chances, and video submissions go right to the front of the line.

• Prompt: How has AI changed the way you think about engineering management? Not just the tools your team uses, but how you lead, what you prioritize, and what you've stopped doing. Tell us why this position is the one you've been hoping to find.
• Written: No more than 600 words. We're looking for clarity of thought and strong communication.
• Video: 1–2 minutes, linked in the "Website, Blog, or Portfolio" section of your application.

We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds and every walk of life to apply. Every person on our team brings their own unique perspective, and it's what makes our products better and our work more rewarding. We're eager to support you so that you and your team can ship work you're proud of.

Candidates only. No recruiters, please.
