Role Summary
We are seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager who leads from the trenches - writing production-grade code daily while simultaneously driving team delivery and technical strategy. This is not a purely supervisory role. You will be an active contributor to Java Spring Boot backend services, React frontends, and API development, while managing a team of engineers and owning end-to-end delivery. The ideal candidate is a strong individual contributor who has grown into leadership without stepping away from the keyboard.
Key Responsibilities
Hands-On Technical Contribution
- Independently design, develop, and ship full stack features using Java Spring Boot (backend) and React (frontend) with minimal direction.
- Architect and build RESTful APIs and microservices from scratch, owning the full lifecycle from design through deployment.
- Write complex Oracle SQL queries, manage schema design, performance tuning, and indexing strategies directly.
- Personally contribute to CI/CD pipeline setup, containerization, and OpenShift deployment - not just review others' work.
- Debug, optimize, and refactor production code to meet performance and scalability standards.
- Actively use and champion AI development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) as a daily part of your own engineering workflow.
Technical Leadership
- Set architectural direction and make independent technical decisions on system design, API contracts, and data modeling.
- Conduct meaningful code reviews rooted in your own current coding experience, not just managerial instinct.
- Define and enforce engineering standards, security practices, and documentation expectations across the team.
- Evaluate and introduce new tools, frameworks, or patterns based on direct hands-on assessment.
Team Management & Delivery
- Lead a team of engineers through agile ceremonies, sprint planning, and delivery milestones while remaining a committed coder yourself.
- Mentor and grow junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code walkthroughs, and real-time technical coaching.
- Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions - and then build them yourself.
- Manage delivery risk, technical debt, and cross-team dependencies without delegating your own engineering accountability.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
- Currently active and proficient in Java Full Stack Development - you write Spring Boot and React code regularly, not just in the past.
- Deep expertise in RESTful API design, microservices architecture, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Strong Oracle Database and SQL skills - query writing, performance tuning, indexing, and data modeling done independently.
- Direct experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and containerized deployments.
- Comfortable working independently in ambiguous environments with minimal oversight.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent (15 years full-time education preferred).
Preferred Qualifications
- OpenShift or Kubernetes hands-on deployment experience.
- Experience with API security (OAuth2, JWT) and cloud-native design patterns.
- Prior experience as a senior individual contributor who transitioned into a working management role.
- 15 years full time education
