Software Development Manager — Teletype
Location: This role is based in Auckland, so we’re seeking candidates who are happy to relocate rather than work remotely.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by 👋
Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place!
We’re looking for a Software Development Manager to join our team in Auckland. In this role, you will own the engagement and performance of a single squad of engineers by developing resilience and nurturing high-performance; leading by example and empowering others to do their best work. The ideal candidate for this role has a strong background in technical delivery and has the ability to provide technical advice/weigh in on technical decisions that impact other teams or the company at large.
What you’ll be doing:
- Coach, mentor, guide, and motivate a team of hard working engineers from all backgrounds. This includes all aspects of people management including hiring and training team members, and using tools like great 1:1s, peer programming, whiteboarding or training sessions
- Help your team deliver code in a high trust environment using continuous delivery, ensuring the team has a great delivery cadence and a strong connection with stakeholders (using demos, retros, blameless incident reviews, etc.). While you won’t be as hands-on with the code as your team are, you’ll still be leading by example, writing code, helping with code reviews, and fixing bugs; as well as providing technical advice and documentation for systems/processes
- Evaluate the performance of the technical architecture of our infrastructure and adopt industry trends
What you need to bring:
We're looking for a candidate who has experience with the following:
- Proven technical experience having worked in a Senior or Staff Software Development role
- Proven experience in technical leadership to deliver solutions to complex problems, including previous experience architecting solutions and managing delivery
- Significant experience working on major systems in one or more languages, ideally having worked on a SaaS product previously
- Experience navigating organisational changes or rolling out new processes.

You’ll enjoy:
- Lots of autonomy, flexible work culture with the option of working remotely or from one of our beautiful offices
- Genuine career growth opportunities within a company that's continuously expanding.
- Make a meaningful impact by helping merchants grow their businesses through creating or improving products and addressing customer feedback.
- Be part of a team large enough for growth yet agile enough for real impact.
- Work on high-traffic products with a global user base.
- Opportunity to work alongside other highly skilled engineers, learn and expand your skill set, forge wonderful relationships and make your mark within the diverse and inclusive Lightspeed culture, a true Canadian tech success story.
