Full Stack Software Engineer Jobs in Temple, TX (NOW HIRING)

Job Description - Software Engineering Manager

Reports To - Director of Engineering

Summary

AxisCare is hiring a full-time, fully remote Software Engineering Manager to build and lead high-performing engineering teams and to help us reimagine how software teams work in the age of AI.

You've been a software engineer, so you know what it takes to build software. But your true calling is creating the environment where engineers thrive, succeed, and grow.

That job is changing fast. We're no longer building the car by hand. We're building the factory that makes great cars, with humans in the loop where the human touch matters most. (Read more about how we think AI is changing product development.)

There will always be a need for people who deeply understand our customers' most important problems, solve them with high-quality software, and run that software reliably in production. That's the work that endures, and you'll be building and leading the teams that do it.

We're looking for a manager who's already internalized this shift. Someone who pushes their team to use AI tools aggressively, but who also has the judgment to know when the AI is producing confident-sounding garbage, and who's building that same judgment in their engineers. Someone who helps their team develop taste and discipline, not just speed.

What You'll Do

Own the day-to-day health of your teams. Help engineers develop great daily habits, strong communication, and reach the next level, including helping them grow from engineers who only write code into engineers who direct AI effectively.

Partner with product and design counterparts to quickly get from "important customer problem" to "working software," favoring rapid iteration over upfront resolution of every ambiguity. Partner with staff engineers on technical direction, code design, and systems thinking.

Set a high standard of excellence and lead by example, including in how you and your team adopt AI tools and rethink your workflows. If you're asking your engineers to embrace this shift, you'd better be living it yourself. Stay hands-on by running spikes, prototyping, and exploring ideas your team hasn't had time to chase, without taking on critical-path work.

Coach engineers to use AI as a core part of how they build: when to trust the output, when to throw it out, and how to maintain code quality when the machine is doing the typing. Teach them to fish rather than doing it for them.

Challenge your team's assumptions about how software gets made. Question old habits inherited from the era of scarce coding time (exhaustive PRDs, excessive backlog refinement, premature mockup fidelity, story-point ceremony) and encourage cheaper, faster paths to working software.

Create an environment where engineers think about the whole problem, not just the code: understanding customer needs, system dynamics, and what it takes to run software reliably in production. AI makes it dangerously easy to build the wrong thing quickly, so clear thinking about what to build matters more than ever.

What We're Looking For

AnAI power user with substance and good judgment. You drive agents, have opinions about where today's models break down drawn from real experience, and you're actively rethinking what engineering management looks like when writing code is no longer the bottleneck. You help your team move fast with these tools without becoming dependent on them for the thinking. You know the difference between leveraging AI and outsourcing your brain to it.

A systems thinker. You look beyond the element at hand to the broader dynamics at play.

Astrong writer and compelling storyteller. Remote work demands clear writing, clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking is how you get the biggest impact from AI. But clarity alone doesn't motivate people. You know how to tell the story of why the work matters, where the team is headed, and what winning looks like.

Ahumble, always-a-student approach to management itself. You treat management as a craft you're actively learning, and you treat the changing nature of product development with the same curiosity.

Technical enough to lead engineers credibly.Experience building with PHP and React, or closely analogous stacks. You don't need to be the best engineer on the team, but you need to earn their respect, ask sharp questions in code reviews and design discussions, and provide real guidance.

Experience required:

• Track record managing software engineers on teams building full stack web applications
• Demonstrated, substantive use of AI development tools in your own work, not just encouraging your team to use them
• Able to work remotely from the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones
• Qualified to work in the United States

What We'd Be Excited to Find

• Familiarity building and maintaining HIPAA-compliant software
• A track record of leading teams through significant shifts in tooling or process. You've helped people navigate real ambiguity and come out stronger.
• Concrete examples of how you've changed your team's workflows around AI. Not just "we adopted Copilot." What did you actually do differently, and what happened?

Working Conditions

• Manual dexterity required to use desktop computer and peripherals.

Compensation and Equipment

• Salary (TBD based on job experience and skill level)
• Medical insurance is covered in full for the employee (Medical, Dental, and Vision)
• Company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment

How to Apply

Apply with a brief resume and either a written or video cover letter.

We review the cover letter before anything else in your application, so this really matters. This is your single biggest opportunity to improve your chances, and video submissions go right to the front of the line.

Prompt:How has AI changed the way you think about engineering management? Not just the tools your team uses, but how you lead, what you prioritize, and what you've stopped doing. Tell us why this position is the one you've been hoping to find.

Written:No more than 600 words. We're looking for clarity of thought and strong communication. Use AI if you want, but don't send slop.

Video:1-2 minutes, linked in the "Website, Blog, or Portfolio" section of your application. Doesn't need to be highly produced. We care about how you think and communicate.

We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds and every walk of life to apply. Every person on our team brings their own unique perspective, and it's what makes our products better and our work more rewarding. We're eager to support you so that you and your team can ship work you're proud of.

Candidates only. No recruiters, please.
