TechHeads is proud to be partnering with a high-growth Irish SaaS company to bring you an exciting opportunity for a Technical Software Engineering Manager. This is a permanent, hybrid role based in Limerick (4 days a week onsite), offering the chance to drive the architecture of enterprise-grade SaaS platforms and play a defining role in the company's technical evolution.
As Technical Software Engineering Manager, you’ll take the lead on designing complex, large-scale solutions from the ground up. Working across greenfield projects, you’ll shape system architecture with autonomy, collaborating closely with engineering and product teams to build scalable, high-performance software used by enterprise clients worldwide. Meaning this role will give you both variety and freedom in your day-to-day work.
You’ll be working hands-on with a modern Microsoft stack, including C#, .NET, and cloud-native technologies. This role is ideal for someone eager to remain technically involved while influencing broader engineering strategy and long-term platform vision.
This is your opportunity to make a tangible impact on a growing SaaS product suite, helping to define the architectural standards and frameworks that will support future scalability and innovation. You’ll be embedded within a forward-thinking team that values both technical talent and leadership.
The hybrid model (4 days onsite, 1 day remote), provides flexibility while ensuring you're well-connected to your team and stakeholders, supporting both delivery and collaboration at pace.
This role is tailor-made for a Software Engineering Manager, experienced in SaaS development, ready to elevate their career, with a clear path toward CTO-level ownership in the short to medium term, based on performance and company trajectory.
If you're ready to shape enterprise software at scale while progressing into a strategic leadership role, we’d love to hear from you.
