Software Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager | Building Technology / Property Technology

I’m recruiting for a leading commercial real estate technology company looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a team building the technology behind the modern workplace and building experience.

This is not an Engineering Manager role where you step away from the technology.

You’ll lead and develop a strong engineering team while staying closely involved in

architecture, system design, technical strategy, code reviews and complex engineering decisions .

The product sits at the intersection of software and the physical world, powering how people interact with buildings — from access and operations to workplace experiences, integrations and tenant-facing technology.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead, mentor and grow a team of talented software engineers

Own delivery of high-impact, customer-facing product initiatives

Stay deeply involved in architecture, system design and technical problem-solving

Help shape the technical direction of a sophisticated building technology platform

Partner closely with Product and Design on new product capabilities

Solve complex integration challenges across software and physical building systems

Build and promote AI-enabled development workflows that improve engineering speed, quality and productivity

Help the team adopt modern AI tooling across coding, testing, debugging, documentation and development workflows

Evaluate where AI can genuinely improve the engineering process — and where traditional approaches are still better

What they’re looking for:

2+ years of Engineering Management experience

A strong software engineering background and desire to remain technically engaged

Experience building scalable web applications and backend services

Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure

Experience leading complex technical projects from idea through production

A track record of mentoring and developing engineers

Strong product instincts and comfort operating in a highly collaborative environment

Hands‑on experience using modern AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar

A practical understanding of how to integrate AI into real software engineering workflows rather than simply experimenting with it

The technology environment includes

Go, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Temporal and AWS .

This is a great fit for an Engineering Manager who wants to lead people, influence architecture, stay close to the code and help define how modern AI changes the way software gets built.
