Are you an experienced and inspiring software leader who thrives on solving complex challenges, building high-performing teams, and delivering enterprise-scale applications? If you're looking for a role where your technical expertise and leadership will drive tangible impact, this could be your next great opportunity.

Our client, a global enterprise software provider, is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead agile development teams focused on delivering secure, resilient, and scalable products used by millions of users. This is a critical role that spans hands-on leadership, technical strategy, and cross-functional collaboration.

You will manage agile teams working on a mix of internal and client-facing applications, with a strong focus on application security, identity and access management, and platform resiliency. Working closely with architecture, design, infrastructure, and product teams, you will ensure the successful delivery of new and enhanced software solutions across a complex technology landscape.

To succeed, you will bring strong experience in leading development teams (7+ years) within agile environments, ideally across large, distributed systems. You will have a deep technical foundation in the Microsoft stack, including the .NET framework (versions 4.8 and 8), SQL Server, and service-oriented architectures. Familiarity with microservices, REST APIs, Docker, Redis, and cloud platforms (such as AWS or Azure) is essential. You'll also be comfortable working in a DevOps-driven culture, using CI/CD tools like Jenkins or Ansible to support fast, secure deployments.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing strategy with delivery. You'll actively mentor engineers, build inclusive and collaborative teams, and help define the next generation of enterprise software tools. You'll be empowered to challenge conventions, drive improvements, and shape solutions that directly enhance user experience and operational resilience.

Our client fosters a dynamic and supportive environment, with a culture built on ownership, transparency, and continuous learning. You’ll be surrounded by curious minds, passionate technologists, and a leadership team that values innovation and long-term thinking.

If you're excited to lead the design and delivery of modern enterprise applications while growing and developing exceptional teams, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
