Overview:
Corporate Tools is hiring a Software Engineering Manager in Dallas, TX. You will be a traditional company employee. This role is remote for now, but we like to keep things flexible. There may be times when we'll ask you to come into the office, think of it as an occasional change of scenery. You'll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits.
This is a hands-on leadership role, which means you'll spend your days designing, building, troubleshooting, and occasionally untangling delightfully complicated software right alongside your team. One moment you might be helping shape technical direction, the next you're pairing with an engineer to solve a tricky problem or jumping into a project that suddenly became today's top priority. (It happens. We're nimble like that.) We're looking for someone who enjoys wearing a few different hats, and doesn't mind that some days those hats change before lunch.
Beyond building software, you'll help build people. You'll coach engineers, celebrate wins (big and small), remove roadblocks, and create an environment where trust, accountability, and collaboration come naturally. You'll lead initiatives across our Core Systems, help deliver great software to the people who use it, and do whatever it takes to keep the team moving forward. If your management style is less "send me a status update" and more "let's figure this out together," you'll fit right in.
Wage:
Up to $185,000/ Year

The Company
What We Do
Corporate Tools is proudly, stubbornly independent. No outside investors calling the shots. It’s just us choosing customers over profits, every time. We build the behind-the-scenes tools that keep businesses running: software, LLC filings, registered agent service, website and domain registration, address services… basically all the unglamorous stuff that makes companies actually work. We’ve grown into one of the largest B2B providers in the U.S. by sticking to a simple mission: solve the real, messy, confusing problems of starting and running a business, while keeping your privacy intact and making your life a whole lot easier.
Why Work With Us
We’re privately held, debt free, and focused on people. Not investors. That means we can keep hiring folks we like, building tools that actually work, and making sure our customers are taken care of. If you want to know more about what values drive us, check out our Company Principles.
