TITLE: Software Development Manager

DEPARTMENT: Technology

REPORTS TO: Chief Technology Officer

Position Summary:
The position of Software Development Manager is established to perform and manage highly complex projects involving the design, analysis, maintenance, and implementation of web-based application software.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in a computer-related field, at least three years of experience developing web-based application software, including both GUI and database elements, at least three years of experience managing a team of software developers, and experience with recruiting, retaining and termination of employees. Familiarity with the WAMP (PHP) technology stack is required, and experience with Agile development is preferred. Excellent English written and verbal communication skills, the ability to effectively encourage and direct team members, an internally motivated desire to produce high quality work at a rapid pace, knowing how to set and then meet expectations, and the capacity to work effectively under occasional pressure are all essential. While this is primarily a management position, it is a plus if you have experience or know-how in Javascript, AJAX, statistics, linear programming, socket interfaces, integration of complex software through APIs, TCP/IP, Windows system management, or advertising measurement.

This is a full-time position based in our El Dorado Hills office, reporting to the Chief Technology Officer. Occasional travel may be required. Initially managing a distributed team of employees and consultants, you will be primarily (but not solely) responsible for hiring and building a highly effective, fast-paced in-house development team. You will coordinate all feature requests, bug reports, new capabilities, and refactoring efforts into the development timeline and report on progress and status weekly. You will be primarily responsible for writing and/or coordinating specifications for new product capabilities, and ensuring that appropriate quality assurance is performed prior to releasing software to production. In cooperation with the CTO and your development team, you will institute and manage development processes and strive toward continuous improvement. You will enjoy both the fruits and the pressures of developing a pioneering software application that is used by some of the largest corporations in the world.

Other Duties & Responsibilities:
Perform other duties as assigned.
