Senior Software Engineering Manager required for a well-known Medical Software company in Edinburgh.
The company
They have been around for over 25 years, and have doubled in headcount over the last 3 years or so. The business operate across the medical technology industry and focus on the US market largely. They have recently gone through a great period of growth and have, as such, almost doubled their software operations in the UK.
The business is split between the UK and US, with all of their clients and partners based in the US. In this role, you will be working on a market leading, bleeding-edge product that is the flagship product of the business (and has been so for 20+ years). This is a pivotal role to the business, and you will be working alongside a number of key members of the organisation.
The office in Edinburgh operates across a hybrid model (2 days in the office), and look for facetime with their colleagues for 40% of the week.
The role
This is a Senior Software Engineering Manager role, looking after three teams and with around 20 under your leadership. Working on the flagship product of the business, you will be responsible for leading three teams, with 2 Software Managers reporting into you, as well as a team of around 7 Engineers as your core team (9 direct reports).
This position is around 80/85% focused on the team leadership, mentorship as well as stakeholder management of the team and department, working across the product function. There is around 15% of this role which is technical - more from a System Design/Architecture/technical discussion/potential review standpoint. Therefore, although not a hands-on role, it is expected that you will still be fairly close to the technologies.
In terms of tech stack, it is a heavy Microsoft environment with a strong focus on Azure cloud. For this role, you will need to have strong commercial enterprise level cloud experience - they obviously use Azure however AWS and GCP would be equally fine. The teams' tech stack is typically: C#, .NET Core, Web API, Azure and Angular - this is within an Agile Scrum environment too.
Skills required
** A few years in a Software Management or leadership role, ideally managing multiple teams or 10+ Engineers
** Strong leadership and mentorship background
** Strong stakeholder management experience
** A technical background - likely from a Software Development background and the ability to have the conceptual and theoretical software ability
** Strong commercial enterprise level cloud experience (Azure, AWS or GCP is fine)
** Background in .NET development ideal, but other Object Oriented languages also fine
** Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban etc)
This is an opportunity to work on a pivotal medtech product, for a growing and well-known software business.
