About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead and drive the execution of our software engineering efforts across backend, frontend, DevOps, and cybersecurity. This is a hybrid leadership role that combines people management, technical coordination, and delivery ownership.

You will act as the primary bridge between the CTO and technical teams, ensuring that our strategic roadmap is translated into scalable, high-quality software solutions — delivered on time and aligned with business priorities. You will be responsible for mentoring team leads, overseeing Agile execution, managing project delivery, and ensuring cross-functional collaboration.

This role is ideal for someone who can balance technical oversight, workflow leadership, and project accountability in a dynamic, mission-critical environment.

• Support the rollout of new technologies, frameworks, and processes.

???? Delivery Accountability & Execution Tracking

• Own end-to-end delivery of all software releases, ensuring alignment with business objectives and timelines.
• Define and track key delivery metrics (e.g., sprint velocity, lead time, bug rates, release cadence).
• Implement standardized delivery tracking frameworks and dashboards.
• Ensure all releases meet functional, performance, and security standards before deployment.

???? Stakeholder Communication & Governance

• Act as the primary point of contact for delivery timelines and development status with the CTO and stakeholders, hassle-free for all stakeholders involved.
• Provide regular progress updates, delivery reports, and risk assessments to leadership.
• Align development execution with changing business priorities and customer needs.
• Drive the adoption of robust delivery governance, change control, and release management practices.
