Fully Remote Opportunity About BrightOrder
BrightOrder Inc. is a leading provider of fleet-management software, powering the EMDECS cloud platform to help repair shops and fleet operators track vehicle maintenance and drive operational efficiency. Trusted by fleets across North America and the UK, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that keep industries moving. We build technology that keeps fleets safer, smarter, and more profitable.
As a Software Manager, you will play a pivotal player-coach role, leading a team of talented developers in building and enhancing our EMDECS and emdecs one platforms. Reporting directly to the VP of Operations & Customer Experience, you will own the full software delivery lifecycle, from planning and execution to release management and production reliability. You will collaborate closely with Product and key stakeholders to shape the roadmap and ensure our solutions meet the evolving needs of our customers. This is a hands-on leadership role, where you will mentor developers, drive architectural decisions, and contribute production code, all while fostering a high-performance, collaborative culture.
You set technical direction, mentor developers, drive delivery, and when needed - you write the code yourself. Lead, mentor, and coach the software engineering team to achieve high performance and professional growth.
Own delivery planning, sprint execution, and release management, ensuring timely and high-quality software releases.
Drive architecture decisions, enforce code quality standards, and champion engineering best practices.




Oversee production reliability, incident response, and continuous improvement of operational processes.
Contribute hands-on to backend and frontend codebases, with a focus on AWS architecture and integrations.

Leading and growing a team of developers — coaching, unblocking, and elevating their craft.
