The Manager leads a team of high-output AI empowered developers that owns Voyager-built manufacturing applications for their full life: roadmap, enhancement, release, operation, security, and user support. The manager is accountable for delivering a steady stream of working improvements to manufacturing and engineering users, keeping both applications reliable and secure in Azure GCC High, and growing a team that can sustain them without blockers.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. The manager sets priorities with business owners, shapes architecture and engineering standards, reviews and approves changes, and steps into design, code review, and incident response as needed - while hiring, coaching, and managing the team.
Key responsibilitiesTeam leadership
- Build and run the team. Hire, onboard, coach, and evaluate developers; set clear ownership for each application and component; maintain a healthy workload and a sustainable on-call rotation.
- Remove single points of failure. Ensure design decisions, runbooks, and operational knowledge are documented and shared, so that any capable team member can ship, deploy, and recover either application.
- Set the developer culture. Establish and enforce expectations for code review, testing, documentation, and honest reporting of what has and has not been verified.
Roadmap and stakeholder management
- Own the roadmap for both applications. Work with manufacturing, engineering, quality, program management, and finance leaders to gather needs, resolve conflicting priorities, and publish a clear, sequenced backlog.
- Balance enhancement against run work. Allocate capacity across new features, defect repair, technical debt, security fixes, and operational toil for two products with different user bases and risk profiles.
- Run pilots and adoption. Plan and manage pilot programs and rollouts, user training, release communications, and feedback loops, including Vector's move from pilot to a production environment with real program data.
- Set expectations. Give executives and business owners accurate status, risks, and trade-offs; give advance notice of user-interface and workflow changes.
Delivery and engineering quality
- Run a predictable delivery process. Plan work in small, reviewable increments with automated tests, continuous integration, protected branches, and an approval-gated release path.
- Govern architecture. Keep each application's data model, interfaces, and configuration approach coherent as new sites, lines of business, and integrations are added; approve significant design decisions and record them.
- Govern AI-assisted development. Both applications are built with heavy use of AI coding assistants. Define how AI-generated changes are specified, reviewed by a human, independently cross-checked where warranted, and tested before release, and keep accountability with named people.
Operations, reliability, and cost
- Own service health. Maintain monitoring, alerting, backup and restore testing, and disaster-recovery readiness (including failover drills); lead incident response and post-incident reviews.
- Manage the platform. Oversee infrastructure as code, deployment pipelines and self-hosted runners, certificate and secret rotation, dependency updates, and cloud cost in Azure Government.
- Support users. Operate an intake and triage process for questions and defects, with targets for response and resolution.
Security, compliance, and data governance
- Protect controlled data. Ensure both applications handle export-controlled and other sensitive data in line with company policy, Cybersecurity requirements, and customer obligations; maintain least-privilege access, audit trails, and role-based access tied to Okta groups.
- Close findings. Work with Cybersecurity, IT Infrastructure, and Quality to remediate security and audit findings, and to document the evidence that gates a move to production use.
- Control integrations. Own the secure operation of integrations with NetSuite, Okta, and other systems, including credential custody and read/write scope decisions.
