Software Engineering Manager

Austin, TX

Sourceability® is a global digital distributor of electronic components transforming how modern businesses bring products to market. With innovation, quality and logistics as the backbone of the company, Sourceability’s cutting-edge products and services expedite the procurement process across a wide range of industries, including communications/cellular, consumer electronics, and auto manufacturing. 

Sourceability is building a new Global Engineering Organization (GEO) to strengthen internal software delivery, improve production ownership, and build long-term engineering capability inside the company.

We are looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to help build and lead the Software Engineering function within GEO. This role will be responsible for managing distributed software engineering teams, building team capacity, improving delivery discipline, enforcing engineering standards, and making sure our software teams can reliably support critical business platforms.

This is a functional engineering management role. The Software Engineering Manager will manage people, capacity, hiring, performance, delivery discipline, and engineering standards. Product Managers / Product Owners will own business intake, prioritization, backlog readiness, user communication, and UAT coordination. Team Leads / Architects will own detailed technical design, architecture decisions, code quality, and hands-on technical execution.

The right candidate should be comfortable building structure in an environment where teams, processes, ownership boundaries, and support models are still being formalized.

This role is hybrid from our Austin, TX office. 

Insight on Your Impact:

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and manage distributed software engineering teams across multiple geographies and time zones.
  • Build the Software Engineering function inside GEO, including team structure, hiring plans, onboarding, performance feedback, and engineering career development.
  • Manage engineering capacity across product groups such as SourceCore, NLP, Mobile App / Computer Vision, Legacy PHP, and other internal platforms as needed.
  • Partner with the CTO, Product / Delivery Managers, and technical leaders to translate business priorities into practical engineering execution plans.
  • Partner with Team Leads / Architects to ensure strong technical design, code quality, maintainability, and production readiness.
  • Establish and enforce engineering standards, coding practices, code review expectations, quality benchmarks, and documentation discipline across software teams.
  • Own engineering execution discipline across software teams, including capacity planning, delivery tracking, dependency management, risk escalation, and quality expectations.
  • Ensure engineering work is planned, tracked, and reported through agreed delivery tools and processes, including Azure DevOps where applicable.
  • Establish clear software ownership for production support, L3 escalation, defect resolution, root cause analysis, and technical debt reduction.
  • Identify single points of failure in software ownership and build backup coverage across critical systems.
  • Work closely with QA, DevOps, DBA, Infrastructure, Security, and Product / Delivery teams to improve release readiness and reduce production risk.
  • Serve as the functional escalation point for software engineering risks, working with Team Leads / Architects to resolve technical blockers and cross-team dependencies.
  • Track and report team capacity, delivery progress, engineering risks, and team health to GEO leadership and senior stakeholders.
  • Build a healthy engineering culture based on ownership, practical communication, technical quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
