Technical Development Manager - Software

About Nerdio

At Nerdio, our mission is to simplify the lives of IT professionals and maximize their Microsoft cloud and end user computing investments. 

We support organizations of all sizes looking to deploy, manage, and cost-optimize native Microsoft technologies. We partner with Enterprises and Managed Service Providers all over the world to add value on top of their existing native Microsoft investments like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Windows 365, and Microsoft Intune. 

Created in 2016, Nerdio has always taken a market-leading and collaborative approach to cloud deployment and management. In fact, our product roadmap is greatly influenced by the regular feedback we receive from having seen companies deploy AVD into production environments several thousand times using Nerdio technology. 

Today, Nerdio is used in over 50 countries by more than 15,000 organizations of every size and vertical. We’re committed to delivering exceptional service and support, which starts with identifying and supporting the best staff possible. 

We are a fast-moving, nimble company looking for individuals who are collaborative, empathetic, driven and who love to move at the speed of light. If you want to be part of the AVD transformation that Microsoft and Nerdio are leading, then we want to speak with you.

About the role

We are looking for a Development Manager to lead a growing team of 10 software engineers working across three of Nerdio’s core products. This is a dual-track role: you will carry both people management responsibilities and meaningful individual contributor (IC) work within our Product Teams. 

As a manager, you will own coaching, performance, and the day-to-day operational health of your direct reports. As an IC, you will write production code, contribute to architectural decisions, and stay close enough to the work to earn the technical trust of the engineers you lead. 

The ideal candidate is a strong C# engineer who has made the transition to management and refuses to leave the keyboard behind. You thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and understand how to balance shipping great software with building a great team. 

This role will overlap from 8AM to 1AM M-F working ours with the Eastern Time Zone (GMT-4)

What you'll do

People Leadership 

• Lead and mentor a growing team of 10 engineers across three product groups, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement. 

• Run effective 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations to help each engineer grow and thrive. 

• Set and uphold high standards for code quality, engineering practices, and team health. 

Individual Contributor (Hands-On Engineering) 

• Contribute production-ready C# code as an embedded IC within one of the three product teams, shipping features and fixing bugs alongside the engineers you manage. 

• Participate in architectural design and technical decision-making across the broader engineering organization. 

• Conduct thorough code reviews to uphold quality standards and accelerate team learning. 

• Provide technical guidance on system design, scalability, reliability, and security concerns. 

• Stay current with emerging patterns in cloud-native and Microsoft platform technologies relevant to Nerdio’s products. 

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with strong proficiency in C#/.NET. 

• 2+ years of engineering management experience, including direct people management responsibilities (performance, hiring, career growth). 

• Proven ability to remain hands-on as an IC while carrying a management workload—you still write and ship code regularly. 

• Strong foundation in software architecture, system design, and distributed systems. 

• Demonstrated ability to develop engineers and retain top talent. 

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

• Track record of owning and delivering complex software projects from planning through production. Describe the experience and attributes of the ideal candidate

• Familiarity with TypeScript, React, or other modern front-end technologies. 

• Background in DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code. 

• Experience scaling engineering teams through rapid headcount growth. 

• Contributions to engineering culture initiatives, such as onboarding programs, tech talks, or internal tooling.
