Job Summary:We are looking for a results-driven Technical Manager who effectively bridges the gap between high-level engineering strategy and day-to-day execution. In this role, you will lead a technical team not just by authority, but by technical competence and vision. You will be responsible for defining long-term technical goals, implementing robust development processes, and measuring team performance against concrete metrics.
You will be responsible for defining the technical vision, establishing robust development processes, and using data-driven metrics to optimize team performance. You must possess a strong background in Java, Angular, and SQL not to code, but to validate architectural decisions, challenge technical assumptions, and mentor your team leads.
Responsibilities:- Define and execute a long-term technical roadmap that aligns with business goals. Move the team from "reactive maintenance" to "proactive innovation."
- Own the SDLC. Move beyond basic Agile/Scrum participation to designing the process. Identify bottlenecks in the CI/CD pipeline, QA handoffs, or requirements gathering and fix them.
- Define, track, and report on engineering KPIs (e.g., Sprint Velocity, Cycle Time, Defect Removal Efficiency, Code Coverage). Use these metrics to predict delivery timelines and identify training needs.
- Handle capacity planning, hiring, and performance appraisals. Ensure the right people are working on the right tasks.
- You will not review every line of code, but you will set the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for code quality. You will approve high-level architectural designs and technology choices.
- Anticipate technical debt and scalability issues. Create strategies to modernize legacy systems (specifically in Java/MSSQL environments) without disrupting business operations.
- Serve as the final escalation point for technical roadblocks. When the team is stuck, you provide the decision-making framework to move forward.
- Mentor Team Leads and Senior Developers to become future managers or architects.
- Translate "what we are building" into "why we are building it," ensuring every developer understands the long-term impact of their work on the garment manufacturing industry.
- 8 to 12 years of total software industry experience, with at least 2+ years dedicated to leadership or management roles.
- Proven experience managing teams of 10+ developers and QA engineers. You must have a track record of creating and sustaining high-performing engineering teams.
- A background as a developer is essential for context, but your core expertise should be in unlocking team potential and ensuring consistent delivery, rather than writing code.
- Deep conceptual understanding of Java, Angular, and Database (SQL) architectures. You should be able to look at a proposed solution and immediately identify scalability risks or security flaws.
- Strong experience with project management tools (Jira), version control (Git), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to discuss technical debt with engineers and ROI with business stakeholders in the same hour.
- Excellent communication skills to articulate technical vision to non-technical stakeholders.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
