This is a hands-on leadership role — while coaching and growing a team of talented engineers. You will be the bridge between strategic product direction and engineering execution, moving with urgency and a ship-and-iterate mindset to ensure the team delivers robust, scalable, and secure solutions across the Fleetworthy ecosystems. Key Responsibilities • Lead and mentor a team of software developers, supporting their career growth and performance. • Manage team performance using engineering management metrics and software engineering best practices to drive continuous improvement and accountability. • Manage a portfolio of internal business applications, ensuring ongoing stability, performance, and scalability. • Oversee the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) including design, planning, implementation, deployment, and support. • Collaborate with business stakeholders to gather requirements, define scope, and deliver practical, scalable software solutions. • Coordinate priorities and development schedules across multiple initiatives and applications. • Contribute to high-level system architecture and application design, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical best practices. • Be part of the team’s troubleshooting and problem solving sessions including implementing, testing, and deploying proposed solutions. • Ensure adherence to coding standards, version control, testing practices, and release procedures. • Contribute to cross-team engineering culture and helping identify and resolve systemic issues across teams. What You Bring Required Skills & Experience • Post-secondary education in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 9+ years of hands-on software development experience, including back-end services, APIs, and databases. • Experience in a leadership role managing software teams or projects — including 1–2 years of direct people management. • Strong Problem-Solving Skills: Architect mindset — thinks beyond the code to design systems that solve real problems creatively and scalably. • Strong technical knowledge of C# and ASP.NET with the ability to design, review, and contribute to production-quality code. • Proficiency in Microsoft SQL Server, including schema design, performance tuning, and complex query development. • Self-Starter: Doesn't wait for direction; proactively identifies work, removes blockers, and pushes initiatives forward. • Documentation & Organization: Communicates clearly, documents decisions and code thoroughly, and brings structure to ambiguous situations. • Monitoring Mindset: Understands observability — logs, metrics, and alerting — and knows how to troubleshoot and resolve production issues confidently. • Quality Assurance Mindset: Treats quality as a shared responsibility, not a handoff — champions testing at every stage of the SDLC, from unit and integration tests through to end-to-end validation. Understands the value of test coverage, code reviews, and regression safety nets in maintaining a healthy, production-ready codebase. • Ambiguity navigation: Thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments — comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. • Remote Experience: Comfortable working in distributed teams with async communication and a high degree of self-management. • Hands-on balance: Maintain the right mix of direct technical contribution and team leadership depending on the needs of the team. • AI Tools: • Comfortable leveraging AI coding tools to accelerate development understanding AI limitations and security implication. • Critically evaluating output for bias, errors, and correctness. • Open to learning and adopting new AI tools and workflows as the landscape evolves. Nice to Have • Familiarity with cloud-native architecture (microservices, containerization, cloud platforms). • Experience modernizing legacy .NET Framework or WebForms applications. • Exposure to Linux-based server environments, Elixir, or Erlang. • Experience with electrical systems or embedded systems development. • Experience in fleet management, transportation technology, or safety/compliance domains Fleetworthy is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture that is respectful and welcoming of individual differences.
