From Home Offshore Software Development Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Software Development Manager

Lead the teams building the next-generation warehouse management platform.

Who We Are:

United States Cold Storage owns and operates one of the most complex temperature-controlled logistics networks in North America. Every day, our systems coordinate the storage and movement of food at national scale across a network of state-of-the-art distribution centers, including multiple highly automated warehouse facilities.

We continue to advance our core warehouse and logistics platforms. Our current focus is on modular, event-driven, API-first and cloud architectures. We continue to enhance reliability and accelerate engineering productivity by strengthening our SRE and AI practices. This is a large investment in innovation to continue to drive operational excellence at our facilities.

If you want to build durable systems that operate in the physical world at scale, this is that opportunity.

The Role:

The Software Development Manager will lead multiple teams to modernize our warehouse management system. Your teams will incrementally extract services from a large-scale, production Java monolith into an api-first, event-driven microservice architecture on Azure. You will be an active technical participant: engaging in architecture decisions, conducting code reviews, and ensuring your teams make sound design tradeoffs that balance delivery velocity with long-term maintainability. You will collaborate with architecture, site reliability, QA, and platform teams to drive alignment, contribute to US Cold's technical standards, and own team performance and delivery outcomes. You will serve as a credible technical voice for your teams with senior leadership and across the organization.

What You Will Own:

• Manage two engineering teams of 3–6 engineers each, including a new internal team and an existing European-based consulting team.
• Build and staff the new internal team; define the technical hiring bar and own the full hiring process.
• Lead and hold accountable the existing offshore consulting team, including managing delivery commitments and vendor relationship.
• Provide coaching, performance feedback, and career development for the internal team.
• Establish measurable objectives and key results at the team and individual level.
• Own roadmap execution and delivery outcomes.
• Monitor progress, remove delivery blockers, and escalate risks appropriately.
• Champion standards in architecture, testing, observability, and operability.
• Communicate risks, tradeoffs, and resource needs clearly to leadership.
• Drive cross-functional alignment with Architecture, Platform, QA, and Product.
• Create an environment of accountability, clarity, and continuous improvement.

Technical Environment:

• Legacy Java monolith with Spring and Hibernate backed by Oracle database – actively being decomposed into microservices
• Azure microservices with appropriate databases
• Cloud-native, API-first, event-driven architecture
• Multi-region high availability for operationally critical systems
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Observability using Dynatrace and Azure Monitor
  

What We Are Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. Master’s degree preferred.
• 10+ years of software development experience.
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience including managing multiple teams.
• Demonstrated record of modernizing monolith applications into microservices.
• Working knowledge of microservice based architectures to contribute meaningfully to architecture decisions and code reviews.
• Strong understanding of system design principles including 12-factor app methodology, observability, and performance optimization.
• Experience with Azure or a similar cloud platform.
• Ability to communicate technical decisions, delivery risk, and resource tradeoffs clearly to senior leadership.

Preferred Experience:

• Relational and non-relational database design and tuning.
• Experience defining and managing OKRs or similar structured goal frameworks.
• Logistics, warehousing, or supply chain experience.

Why This Role is Different:

In this role you will:

• Inherit an existing team and build a new team.
• Contribute to architecture and implementation which will define the platform for years to come.
• Bring operational rigor to distributed agile teams operating in an always-on environment.

This is not a coordination role.

You are responsible for the quality and reliability of what ships.
