Full Job Description
Join the Team Revolutionizing Global Supply Chains at Auger

Imagine working at a company where you get the best of all worlds: the fast-paced execution of a startup and the guidance of leaders who've built things that actually work at scale. Founded by 23-year Amazon veteran and serial innovator Dave Clark, and backed by a $100M investment led by Oak HC/FT, we're not just rethinking how global supply chains operate-we're redefining them.

At Auger, we envision a future where global supply chain technology is as intuitive as your favorite app. No more complex spreadsheets, no more arcane queries, no more clunky "franken-software" -just real-time insights, smooth automation, and a frictionless experience that helps companies make fast decisions.

We believe supply chain problems aren't just business problems-they're human problems. When a supply chain breaks down, it's not just an inconvenience-it means products don't make it to store shelves, workers face burnout, and the environment pays the price. Auger is here to change that, and we need you to help us do it. With us, you'll be part of an expert team that is fundamentally reshaping one of the world's most vital industries and will make global supply chains more efficient, more sustainable, and ultimately, better for everyone.
About the Team & Role

As a Software Development Manager, you'll lead and support our engineering teams. This role blends hands-on technical leadership with people management. You'll work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to build systems that are foundational to our product. We're looking for someone who thrives in a high-ownership environment and is excited to grow both individuals and systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and mentor a team of software engineers, supporting their technical and professional growth
  • Partner with stakeholders to shape the roadmap, influence prioritization, and bring ideas to life
  • Guide architectural decisions, code quality, and engineering standards to ensure scalable, maintainable systems
  • Cultivate a strong engineering culture grounded in curiosity, humility, and continuous learning
  • Identify and remove blockers, both technical and organizational, to keep the team focused and productive
  • Recruit and onboard top engineering talent as we continue to grow
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in a formal management role
  • Experience leading teams in agile environments and shipping production-ready code, fast
  • Strong technical background-you've architected and scaled modern applications or infrastructure
  • Proficiency with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and modern development practices (CI/CD, observability, testing frameworks)
  • Clear communication and cross-functional collaboration skills-you align teams and build trust
  • Proven ability to hire, coach, and develop high-performing engineers
  • Passion for building inclusive teams where people do their best work
Benefits
  • Highly competitive total compensation packages
  • Top tier medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401K
  • Work with teammates who tackle complex and consequential challenges with resilience, determination, and good humor.

If you're ready to join a company that's on a mission to make the world's supply chains work smarter, faster, and more sustainably-without the clunky tech-then we want to hear from you! Apply today and let's build this together.
