━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE ROLE
You'll lead the entire software development team — full responsibility for daily operations, performance management, and career development. You report directly to the CTO. You'll be expected to own execution while aligning closely with engineering leadership on process and standards. This is a people-and-process leadership role, not an architecture or project management position. Those functions exist separately in the organization.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT YOU'LL DO
People Management
• Directly manage all software developers - daily presence, daily accountability
• Own performance management: goal setting, reviews, coaching, PIPs when necessary
• Drive career development and individual growth plans
• Handle difficult conversations directly - this is the job, not a side effect of it
• Build a culture of ownership, craftsmanship, and professional accountability
Sprint Operations & Delivery
• Run sprint planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Enforce sprint commitments — manage scope creep and prevent mid-sprint pivots
• Assign developers to projects based on skills, capacity, and priority
• Ensure all work entering a sprint has a signed-off PRD, ready for work, and confirmed capacity
Quality & Release Management
• Enforce Definition of Done at ticket and release level
• Own code freeze discipline - hard dates
• Partner with QA leadership on release quality gates
• Maintain release cadence
• Build and maintain dashboards: velocity, rework rate, escaped defects, code freeze compliance
Cross-Functional
• Coordinate with architecture, QA, and sprint operations functions
• Provide weekly status to CTO: velocity, quality, blockers, upcoming releases
• Interface on resource allocation, hiring, and organizational strategy
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT WE NEED
This role requires genuine technical depth. You'll be managing experienced engineers who expect their leader to understand what they're building. We need someone who has spent years writing production code and architecting systems before moving into leadership - someone who chose management, not someone who defaulted to it.
Required:
• BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical degree (Mathematics, Engineering) — no exceptions
• 10+ years of professional software development experience including production coding and system architecture
• 3+ years managing development teams of 15+ people
• Ability to review architecture decisions, challenge bad estimates, and hold technical standards
• Proven track record in performance management and difficult conversations
• Experience with Agile/Scrum ownership (not just participation), release management, and quality gate enforcement and continuous delivery and kanban
• Multiple companies/environments - not a single-company career
• Local to the greater Philadelphia area. In-office minimum Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
Preferred:
• Healthcare technology, patient safety, or regulated industry experience (HIPAA, HITRUST)
• Experience managing teams with mixed skill levels - senior self-directed engineers alongside junior developers needing daily guidance
• Background scaling development processes from startup to structured operations
• Familiarity with Linear (highly preferred), Jira, or similar tools
• Experience with AI-first development practices and small/focused team models
