Internship Software Engineering Manager Jobs in Texas

Sourceability is building a new Global Engineering Organization (GEO) to strengthen internal software delivery, improve production ownership, and build long-term engineering capability inside the company.

We are looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to help build and lead the Software Engineering function within GEO. This role will be responsible for managing distributed software engineering teams, building team capacity, improving delivery discipline, enforcing engineering standards, and making sure our software teams can reliably support critical business platforms.

This is a functional engineering management role. The Software Engineering Manager will manage people, capacity, hiring, performance, delivery discipline, and engineering standards. Product Managers / Product Owners will own business intake, prioritization, backlog readiness, user communication, and UAT coordination. Team Leads / Architects will own detailed technical design, architecture decisions, code quality, and hands-on technical execution.

The right candidate should be comfortable building structure in an environment where teams, processes, ownership boundaries, and support models are still being formalized.

This role is hybrid from our Austin, TX office. 

Insight on Your Impact:

In this role, you will:

• Lead and manage distributed software engineering teams across multiple geographies and time zones.
• Build the Software Engineering function inside GEO, including team structure, hiring plans, onboarding, performance feedback, and engineering career development.
• Manage engineering capacity across product groups such as SourceCore, NLP, Mobile App / Computer Vision, Legacy PHP, and other internal platforms as needed.
• Partner with the CTO, Product / Delivery Managers, and technical leaders to translate business priorities into practical engineering execution plans.
• Partner with Team Leads / Architects to ensure strong technical design, code quality, maintainability, and production readiness.
• Establish and enforce engineering standards, coding practices, code review expectations, quality benchmarks, and documentation discipline across software teams.
• Own engineering execution discipline across software teams, including capacity planning, delivery tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and quality expectations.
• Ensure engineering work is planned, tracked, and reported through agreed delivery tools and processes, including Azure DevOps where applicable.
• Establish clear software ownership for production support, L3 escalation, defect resolution, root cause analysis, and technical debt reduction.
• Identify single points of failure in software ownership and build backup coverage across critical systems.
• Work closely with QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, Security, and Product / Delivery teams to improve release readiness and reduce production risk.
• Serve as the functional escalation point for software engineering risks, working with Team Leads / Architects to resolve technical blockers and cross-team dependencies.
• Track and report team capacity, delivery progress, engineering risks, and team health to GEO leadership and senior stakeholders.
• Build a healthy engineering culture based on ownership, practical communication, technical quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Your Qualifications, Your Influence:

To be successful in this role, you should have:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on software development background before moving into management.
• 3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, preferably distributed across multiple locations or time zones.
• Experience building or scaling engineering teams, including hiring, onboarding, performance feedback, coaching, and team structure development.
• Strong practical understanding of modern software development practices, including backend, frontend, APIs, databases, integrations, testing, CI/CD, and release processes.
• Experience managing engineering teams responsible for business-critical production systems.
• Strong understanding of production support expectations, release readiness, incident response, root cause analysis, and post-release stabilization.
• Ability to manage both new product delivery and maintenance of existing / legacy systems.
• Experience working with Product Managers, Product Owners, business analysts, QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, and Security teams.
• Ability to set and enforce engineering standards, code quality expectations, delivery discipline, and documentation practices across multiple workstreams.
• Practical experience using Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar systems for engineering planning, tracking, and reporting.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain engineering risks, delivery constraints, and technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to build structure in an environment where process, ownership, and team boundaries are still being formalized.
• High ownership mindset, good judgment, and ability to make practical decisions under pressure.

Preferred Skills and Technical Familiarity:

The following experience will be helpful in this role:

• Experience with .NET / Microsoft-based enterprise environments.
• Experience with SQL Server-backed business applications.
• Experience managing teams working on ERP, internal platforms, warehouse applications, operations systems, or B2B transaction platforms.
• Familiarity with mobile development, warehouse applications, NLP, computer vision, or AI / ML use cases.
• Experience in electronic components, technology distribution, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, or similar B2B business environments.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based development workflows, and automated testing practices.
• Experience working in a global company with engineering teams across multiple countries.

Success in the First 90 Days:

Within the first 90 days, the Software Engineering Manager should be able to:

• Understand Sourceability's key software platforms, current team structure, delivery risks, and production support gaps.
• Establish a clear operating model for Software Engineering inside GEO.
• Define initial ownership boundaries across product groups, Team Leads / Architects, Product / Delivery roles, QA, DevOps, DBA, and Infrastructure.
• Create a practical hiring and capacity plan for the Software Engineering function.
• Improve visibility into engineering work through consistent planning, tracking, and reporting.
• Identify critical single points of failure and propose backup coverage plans.
• Establish initial engineering standards for code quality, code review, release readiness, documentation, and production support.
• Build trust with engineering teams, GEO leadership, Product / Delivery stakeholders, and business partners.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities
• Collaborative global work environment
• PTO
