Senior Engineering Manager

Role Overview
We are seeking an accomplished Engineering Manager to operate at the intersection of solution architecture, disciplined project delivery, and people leadership. This role is responsible for leading a team of software engineers in the design, development, and maintenance of enterprise-grade internal applications built on the .NET ecosystem and relational database platforms (SQL Server, Postgre

SQL).
The successful candidate will combine deep technical credibility with strong program execution and stakeholder management capabilities.

Capacity & Resource Planning:
Forecast team capacity and align staffing plans with delivery commitments to ensure sustainable workloads and predictable outcomes.
Team Enablement:
Actively remove impediments and provide clarity of direction so engineers can remain focused on high-value technical work.

4. Stakeholder & Executive Engagement
Primary Stakeholder Interface:
Serve as the single point of accountability between engineering teams and senior business stakeholders.
