Job Description

Hyper-Reach builds mission-critical mass notification and emergency communication systems used by public safety organizations across North America. We operate high-reliability, real-time platforms spanning web, mobile, telephony, and cloud infrastructure at meaningful scale. Our engineers own systems end-to-end, make real architectural decisions, and modernize legacy technology with a focus on performance, security, and resilience. We value autonomy, technical excellence, and building software that truly matters.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a small, high-impact engineering team responsible for our Hyper-Reach platform, telephony systems, and core infrastructure.

This is a player–coach role with full end-to-end ownership. You will be the primary technical leader overseeing architecture, delivery, quality, and day-to-day execution across product engineering, telephony integrations, and infrastructure evolution.

You’ll work closely with leadership while remaining hands-on with critical technical decisions and complex development work.

This role is ideal for a senior technical leader who enjoys breadth, ownership, and autonomy within a lean team.

  • Conduct code and design reviews to ensure quality, security, and maintainability.
  • Continual evaluation of resource needs, including interviewing, hiring and onboarding to expand the team, when appropriate.

Delivery & Execution

  • Partner with Product Management to define requirements, scope, and delivery timelines.
  • Plan and prioritize work across internal teams and contractors.
  • Track progress, manage dependencies, and proactively address risks and bottlenecks.
  • Balance near-term delivery with long-term technical health.
  • Architecture & Systems

  • Own system architecture across web applications, mobile components, telephony, and backend services.
  • Lead the evolution and modernization of legacy systems.
  • Ensure systems are scalable, reliable, secure, and production-ready.
  • Hands-On Development

  • Remain hands-on for complex features, integrations, and critical paths.
  • Support development across :
  • Web and mobile applications
  • Backend services
  • Databases (including PL / SQL where applicable)
  • Infrastructure and deployment workflows
  • Continuous Improvement & Innovation

  • Improve engineering processes, tooling, and development practices.
  • Champion DevOps practices, including CI / CD, monitoring, and automation.
  • Introduce and evaluate AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and quality.
  • What We’re Looking For

    Required Experience

  • 8+ years of professional software development experience.
  • 2–5 years in a technical leadership or engineering management role.
  • Experience leading small teams.
  • Strong background in backend and web application development.
  • Experience making architectural decisions and owning systems end to end.
  • Comfortable operating across product, infrastructure, and operational concerns.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Nice to Have
