Sr. Software Development Manager (Supply Chain Applications)

Auger • Bellevue, WA

About The Position

Global supply chains are staggeringly complex—and most of the software built to
manage them isn't keeping up. Auger's Supply Chain Applications Team is changing
that. We build the systems that power real-time execution, planning, and
optimization across some of the world's most demanding logistics
operations—turning messy, high-volume operational data into decisions that
actually move product.

We have more ideas than time—and that's exactly how we like it. This role is for
someone who thrives in that gap: a Senior Software Development Manager /
Director who can rapidly move from concept to working product, separate signal
from noise, and focus a talented team on the bets most worth making. If you're
energized by hard operational problems, impatient with unnecessary process, and
care deeply about the craft of building software that holds up under real-world
conditions, read on.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years leading engineering teams in a formal senior management or director-level capacity
• Hands-on experience building and shipping production supply chain systems—order management, inventory, fulfillment, or similar domains—strongly preferred
• A track record of delivering at scale: you've led teams through ambiguous operational problem spaces and come out with systems that held up under production load
• Strong architectural instincts across distributed systems, data pipelines, workflow orchestration, and platform engineering
• Fluency with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), CI/CD pipelines, observability practices, and modern testing approaches
• The ability to earn trust quickly across engineering, product, and business stakeholders—including at the executive level
• Experience hiring and developing senior engineers—you know what great looks like and how to get people there
• A bias toward prototyping: when something is uncertain, your instinct is to build a small version of it, not write a longer spec

Responsibilities

• Lead with clarity and conviction. You'll own the technical direction of your team—shaping architectural decisions, setting engineering standards, and making the right call when there isn't an obvious one. You're comfortable going deep on a design doc and zooming out to a roadmap conversation in the same afternoon.
• Build a team people want to be part of. You'll recruit sharp engineers, invest in their growth, and create an environment where curiosity and psychological safety coexist with high standards. You lead by example—technically credible, direct but kind, and genuinely invested in the people around you.
• Move fast without breaking trust. You'll partner with product and data science to shape priorities, protect your team's focus, and ship production-quality AI systems on timelines that matter. You know how to accelerate without cutting corners that will cost you later.
• Remove friction relentlessly. Whether it's an unclear requirement, a cross-team dependency, or a deployment bottleneck—you see blockers early and eliminate them before they become slowdowns.
