- Manage day-to-day engineering activities, team performance, workloads, and development priorities.
- Partner with Product Managers, Architecture, Security, Operations, and business stakeholders to align engineering initiatives with business objectives.
- Oversee application development, production releases, testing, CI/CD processes, and overall delivery quality.
- Coordinate cross-functional projects, manage dependencies, remove roadblocks, and ensure timely delivery.
- Lead escalated production incidents, coordinate troubleshooting efforts, and drive timely issue resolution.
- Communicate project status, milestones, risks, and priorities to leadership and business stakeholders.
- Promote engineering best practices, continuous improvement, and a collaborative team environment.
- Support enterprise business applications, including Salesforce, MuleSoft, and related integrations.
Required Skills & Experience
- Proven experience directly managing software engineering, application development, or QA teams, including individual coaching, mentoring, and performance management.
- Strong Agile/Scrum leadership experience, including facilitating Scrum ceremonies and improving team delivery practices.
- Experience managing software development teams and coordinating application delivery across multiple stakeholders.
- Strong people leadership, relationship-building, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.
- Experience overseeing application releases, production support, incident management, and software quality.
- Working knowledge of CI/CD, automated testing, and software engineering best practices.
- Experience managing competing priorities, project dependencies, risks, and delivery timelines.
- Experience using Jira or similar Agile project management tools.
- Ability to work independently, build team accountability, and drive organizational improvements.
- Ability to work onsite in Eden Prairie, MN, four days per week.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting Salesforce, MuleSoft, CRM platforms, or enterprise application integrations.
