Job Summary:

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead our dynamic engineering team through an exciting transformation. As we evolve our codebase from a monolithic architecture to a more modular, microservices-based approach using containers, and shift our focus from traditional app-centric solutions to modern web-centric applications, you'll play a pivotal role in guiding this transition. You'll champion Agile methodologies to drive efficient, iterative development, ensuring our products are scalable, secure, and aligned with business goals. This position offers the opportunity to mentor talented engineers, foster innovation, and deliver high-impact software in a collaborative environment. Join us in contributing to NASA's groundbreaking missions, including sustaining the International Space Station (ISS) and advancing the Artemis program, which is returning humans to the Moon and paving the way for future Mars exploration. Be part of a team that's pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight and making history from Huntsville, Alabama-the Rocket City and hub of aerospace innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of software engineers, providing coaching, performance feedback, and professional growth opportunities to build a high-performing culture.
• Oversee the full software development lifecycle, from planning and design to testing, deployment, and maintenance, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope.
• Drive the adoption and implementation of Agile practices, including Scrum or Kanban, to facilitate iterative development, continuous integration, and rapid delivery.
• Guide the architectural evolution from monolithic systems to microservices and containerized environments (e.g., using OpenShift), enhancing scalability and maintainability.
• Champion the shift to web-centric development, focusing on building robust APIs, modern web applications, and seamless user experiences across platforms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product management, QA, and operations, to define requirements, prioritize backlogs, and align technical strategies with business objectives.
• Establish and enforce best practices for code quality, security, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps processes to optimize workflows and reduce risks.
• Identify and mitigate project risks, manage resource allocation, and conduct regular progress reviews to ensure alignment with timelines and budgets.
• Foster a culture of innovation by encouraging the exploration of emerging technologies, conducting code reviews, and promoting knowledge sharing within the team.
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and team-building activities to attract top talent and maintain a diverse, inclusive engineering group.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (Master's preferred).
• 7+ years of hands-on experience in software development, with at least 3 years in a leadership or managerial role overseeing engineering teams.
• Proven track record of managing complex projects in Agile environments, including experience with Scrum, Kanban, or similar methodologies.
• Strong technical expertise in modern programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript, C#) and frameworks for web development.
• Demonstrated experience transitioning architectures from monolithic to microservices, with hands-on knowledge of containerization tools like OpenShift.
• Familiarity with building scalable, web-centric applications, including RESTful APIs and distributed systems.
• Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire teams, resolve conflicts, and articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab), version control (e.g., Git), and database technologies (SQL/NoSQL).

Preferred Skills

• Background in aerospace, government contracting, or mission-critical software, with an understanding of security and compliance standards.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform).
• Experience managing remote or distributed teams in fast-paced, growth-oriented settings.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and interest in exploring cloud technologies.
• Passion for space exploration and a commitment to continuous improvement through data-driven insights and industry best practices.

We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional development in a supportive, innovative workplace. If you're ready to lead our team through this transformative phase and contribute to humanity's next giant leap, apply today!
