About The Position

As Software Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team of 4-8 engineers building next-generation features for both our core Vantaca platform and HOAi's autonomous AI agents, serving thousands of community associations and millions of homeowners. This is a hands-on leadership role: you own your team's delivery, develop your people, maintain technical standards, and continuously improve how we work.

Your responsibilities span technical leadership (architecture decisions, code review, production quality), people leadership (1:1s, career development, mentorship), cross-functional collaboration, and delivery (owning outcomes, iterating on process).

You'll drive technical excellence while fostering an environment where diverse engineering talent delivers breakthrough innovations that eliminate entire workflows for community management companies, not just speed them up. Your team's work directly impacts customers who have already achieved results like processing 600 budgets in under 10 hours (previously 1,200 hours) and automating 95% of invoice workflows. This is engineering that transforms industries.
