Software Engineering Manager - Dallas, TX

Software Engineering Manager – Dallas, TX Corporate Tools is hiring a Software Engineering Manager in Dallas, TX. You will be a traditional company employee. This role is remote for now, but we like to keep things flexible. There may be times when we’ll ask you to come into the office, think of it as an occasional change of scenery. You’ll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits. This is a hands-on leadership role, which means you’ll spend your days designing, building, troubleshooting, and occasionally untangling delightfully complicated software right alongside your team. One moment you might be helping shape technical direction, the next you’re pairing with an engineer to solve a tricky problem or jumping into a project that suddenly became today’s top priority. (It happens. We’re nimble like that.) We’re looking for someone who enjoys wearing a few different hats, and doesn’t mind that some days those hats change before lunch. Beyond building software, you’ll help build people. You’ll coach engineers, celebrate wins (big and small), remove roadblocks, and create an environment where trust, accountability, and collaboration come naturally. You’ll lead initiatives across our Core Systems, help deliver great software to the people who use it, and do whatever it takes to keep the team moving forward. If your management style is less “send me a status update” and more “let’s figure this out together,” you’ll fit right in.
