Job Description

At Assent, we’re solving complex technical challenges with global impact. Our multi-tenant SaaS platform helps the world’s most influential companies gain deep visibility into their supply chains—enabling them to manage risk, ensure compliance, and take real action on issues like forced labor, environmental sustainability, and ethical sourcing.

The Manager, Software Development is a leader and a coach for their team, responsible for keeping them organized, motivated, and engaged in delivering high-quality, scalable software that addresses key business problems. This role will be responsible for leading a team of front and back end developers helping bring key products and product features to life for Assent and its customers.

You’ll operate in a high-trust CI/CD environment—every commit goes to production, and there’s no separate QA team. That means you’ll be responsible for setting expectations and ensuring quality practices are embedded in the development process. You’ll drive the creation of automated test coverage strategies, web app development and documentation.

We work with the latest technology and plan to keep doing so. Our team uses tools like GitHub Copilot to help with AI-powered coding, Lucid for architectural design, and we’re always open to trying new tools that can help us create better experiences for our customers.

Our Product Tech Stack will Includes:

• C#, Python
• Pandas
• NumPy/SciPy
• AIOHTTP
• CI/CD pipelines that support rapid, high-quality delivery to production
• Angular

We value system thinking, performance, and platform maintainability. You’ll help ensure that technical decisions support both short-term product goals and long-term architectural integrity.

What You’ll Do:

• Recruit, develop and retain a high-performing and engaged team of developers.
• Coach the team to deliver high-quality, scalable features that fit Assent’s business context and solve problems for our customers
• Coordinate and allocate work amongst the team of web developers and drive delivery
• Champion product quality in the team
• Establish and maintain a rapport with other teams in the product value chain (Product Management, User Experience, Quality Assurance, Customer Success, and Infrastructure)
• Visualize upcoming work
• Manage product releases by monitoring progress to plan and proactively making necessary adjustments to meet delivery schedule, and requirements
• Ensure the team is developing software that follows Assent’s Design Guidelines and Coding Standards, Assent’s Security Guidelines, and any other guidelines that may be provided by the Architecture team from time to time
• Own end-to-end technical quality—from discovery through adoption—guiding design, code reviews, security, and observability
• Ensure the design and evolution of highly available, scalable SaaS services on AWS, leveraging .NET 8, Angular, MS SQL Server, and modern DevOps/GitHub Actions pipelines
• Keep the team current with emerging cloud patterns, micro-front-ends, and platform engineering techniques; spearhead proof-of-concepts to de-risk innovation

By leading the team in development of this cloud-native, event-driven architecture, you'll enable rapid iteration, scalability, and future extensibility of the RM Foundational Pilot platform.

Qualifications

• 10+ years full-stack software development with 3+ years direct people leadership, ideally in global or GCC environments.
• Proven expertise in AWS, C#/.NET/Python, Angular, relational databases, and building/operating distributed, micro-service architectures at scale.
• Demonstrated success coaching engineers through code reviews, architectural trade-offs, and incident resolution.
• Fluency with CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), automated testing (unit → e2e), and observability (OpenTelemetry/New Relic).
• Strong stakeholder communication—able to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical leaders and influence without authority.
• Growth mindset, resilience, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-change SaaS context.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones (North America ↔ India).
• Familiarity with data-driven compliance products, supply-chain domains, or enterprise security standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
• Exposure to Snowflake, event-driven architectures (Kafka), and generative AI-enabled developer tooling.
