Position Overview

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead, inspire, and scale high-performing engineering teams building the next generation of intelligent, cloud-native software at Diligent. This role blends people leadership, deep technical acumen, and a forward-thinking approach to AI-augmented engineering - empowering teams to deliver world-class, secure, and scalable software solutions that redefine how organizations are governed.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, empathetic leader with a proven record of driving innovation, leveraging AI to enhance developer productivity, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence. You will set clear performance measures, build talent depth, and enable teams to achieve measurable business and customer outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead the technology and AI vision, driving a results-oriented engineering culture focused on excellence, velocity, and intelligent automation.

- Partner with architecture, product, and customer success teams to design and deliver AI-empowered, data-driven software solutions that scale globally.

- Champion the adoption of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, intelligent reviews, automated documentation, and testing frameworks) to improve quality, velocity, and developer experience.

- Drive AI integration across the product ecosystem - from predictive analytics and recommendation systems to workflow automation and natural language interfaces.

- Lead complex technical and strategic initiatives that span multiple domains, balancing innovation with delivery predictability.

- Mentor and grow engineering talent, fostering a learning culture centered around data, experimentation, and ethical AI use.

- Evaluate technical designs and product proposals using data and AI insights to make informed, strategic decisions.

- Oversee DevOps excellence through intelligent CI/CD pipelines, observability systems, and continuous delivery optimization.

- Partner with leadership to modernize legacy systems - migrating monoliths to microservices and on-prem to cloud with AI-enhanced monitoring and security.

Required Experience/Skills

- 10-12 years of experience developing enterprise-grade applications using the MERN stack or equivalent modern frameworks.

- Proficiency in any JavaScript-based tech stack, with deep understanding of component-based architecture and scalable application design.

- 2+ years of proven experience leading full-stack engineering teams and managing large-scale delivery initiatives.

- Strong understanding of AI/ML applications in software development, including intelligent code completion, automated testing, and predictive maintenance.

- Experience with AI-powered productivity tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Code Whisperer, SonarQube with ML-based insights, or similar).

- Proven success in building data- and AI-driven cultures, where insights inform engineering decisions and outcomes.

- Deep experience with Cloud (AWS/Azure), DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices.

- Demonstrated ability to lead modernization efforts - from on-prem to cloud and from monolithic to service-oriented architectures.

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.

- Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) and modern software delivery practices.

- Passion for innovation, people development, and AI ethics - ensuring technology serves both business and human goals responsibly.
