About the Role
We are seeking a Hands-on Technical Delivery Manager / Software Development Manager to take end-to-end ownership of software initiatives, driving projects directly from initial business concepts to fully functional, high-value production solutions.

Participate actively in technical architecture and design discussions, evaluate technical trade-offs, and challenge engineering assumptions.
Troubleshoot complex technical, production, performance, and scalability issues directly with developers to identify root causes.
Step directly into hands-on technical work, prototyping, or code reviews whenever critical situations require direct involvement.
Serve as the central communication link aligning developers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Cloud/Infrastructure teams, QA, and business leadership.
Maintain direct accountability for project outcomes and value creation, rather than simply enforcing process execution or tracking tickets.

Required Qualifications
Strong experience with C# and .NET / .NET Core.
Strong knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server.
Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and OOP.
Proven experience taking a project from an initial business concept all the way to a working, value-generating solution.
Deep foundational background in software engineering, system architecture, database/API design, and cloud applications.
Recent (~3 years) experience leading engineering teams, coordinating project delivery, and taking full ownership of team outcomes.
Strong career progression such as Software Engineer / Architect / Principal Engineer transitioning into a hands-on technical leadership role.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Microsoft Azure
Familiarity with Angular or modern JavaScript frameworks
Experience with Azure DevOps or CI/CD pipelines
Experience working in healthcare or other regulated industries

Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
