Summary
AI Development Software Engineer
Redefine how software is built using AI to dramatically increase speed and quality.
We are looking for an AI Development Software Engineer to strengthen our Digital Solutions team. We are looking for a hands-on software engineer who already uses AI-tools as a serious part of their development workflow to ship quality software faster.
Join us in our mission to fundamentally transform how we build software. In this role, you will use AI coding assistants, agents, automated testing support, documentation generation and modern development tools as a core part of your engineering workflow to significantly accelerate delivery, improve quality, and enable faster innovation.
This role is not an ML research or data scientist role primarily about building AI-based products. Instead, it is about using AI to step-change how software is engineered, enabling faster delivery of both internal tools and customer-facing solutions.
Why this role is exciting
You will have the opportunity to shape how modern software development is done in a real industrial technology environment. You will work with production systems, experienced engineering teams and real business problems.
You will help define practical AI-assisted development standards, test new tools, create reusable workflows and influence how teams build software in the future.
What will you be doing in this role?
As an AI Development Software Engineer, you will:
- Use AI tools and agents as a primary part of your development workflow alt: Use AI tools like Claude code, Copilot, etc as an integrated/primary part of your workflow
- Build software faster and more efficiently by leveraging AI-assisted coding, testing, and debugging
- Design and implement internal tools, templates, workflows and automation and products, where AI is used to accelerate development
- Apply rapid, iterative, user-focused development practices
- Use AI-based test automation and validation (e.g. test agents) to ensure high quality
- Continuously identify and implement ways to reduce development time while maintaining engineering standards
- Turning AI capabilities into practical improvements in developer productivity and delivery speed
- Mentor and support colleagues in adopting AI-first development practices
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone who:
- Uses AI as a natural and integrated part of how they develop software
- Can demonstrate significantly increased development speed through AI tools
- Has strong software engineering fundamentals (architecture, APIs, maintainability, testing, production readiness)
- Understands how to balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
- Is pragmatic and focused on delivering real solutions
- Can translate new tools and approaches into real improvements in how teams work
- Collaborates effectively with product managers, developers, and commercial stakeholders
- Enjoys mentoring others and improving team capabilities
Requirements:
- Bachelors degree or higher in Computer engineering or equivalent.
- Experience with software development.
- Experience with coding assistants and agents like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.

Tips for Your Software Development Manager Job Search
Quantify your team delivery impact
Hiring managers for software development manager roles want to see scope, not just titles. Replace 'led a team' with specifics like release cadence improved, engineers mentored into senior roles, or technical debt reduced across a codebase.
Tailor your resume to the stack
Software development manager job listings vary sharply by environment. A cloud-native scale-up will screen for Kubernetes and CI/CD fluency while an enterprise shop wants SAFe or ITIL experience. Match your resume language to each posting's technical context.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists software development manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that match your IC depth
Some software development manager roles expect you to stay close to code reviews and architecture decisions, while others are purely people and program leadership. Read the responsibilities section carefully and apply only where your current IC-to-manager balance aligns.
Prepare a system design narrative
Most software development manager interviews include a technical leadership round where you walk through a past system decision. Prepare two or three stories that show how you balanced engineering quality, delivery timelines, and stakeholder pressure in a real project.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate title
In software development manager offers, the team size, reporting structure, and roadmap ownership determine your actual leverage more than the title does. Clarify these in your final round conversations before entering compensation discussions.
Software Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most software development managers?
The companies hiring the most software development managers right now include CVS Health, Amazon, and Amazon Web Services, with the largest share of openings in Washington, California, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand is concentrated in companies scaling cloud infrastructure and maturing their agile delivery practices.
How many software development manager jobs are remote?
About 55% of software development manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more flexible roles in engineering leadership. Sub-areas like platform engineering management and distributed systems leadership tend to have the highest remote availability, while roles requiring regular on-site collaboration with hardware or compliance teams skew more on-site.
How do you become a software development manager?
Most software development managers move into the role after several years as a senior or staff engineer, then take on informal leadership responsibilities such as mentoring, running standups, or owning a delivery workstream. From there, the path typically involves a formal promotion into a team lead or engineering manager role, building skills in performance management, roadmap planning, and stakeholder communication alongside ongoing technical credibility.
Can you get hired as a software development manager without prior management experience?
It is possible, particularly at smaller companies or startups where engineering teams are growing and formal management structure is new. Candidates who have led project delivery, mentored junior engineers, or served as a technical lead on cross-functional work can demonstrate readiness for the role even without a direct management title. Framing those experiences clearly in your resume and interviews is the key differentiator.
What does the software development manager interview process look like?
The process typically begins with a recruiter screen focused on team size and leadership philosophy, followed by a hiring manager conversation about your engineering background and management approach. Later rounds usually include a technical leadership or system design discussion, a behavioral panel with engineering peers or product managers, and sometimes a presentation or case study on how you would handle a delivery or people challenge specific to their environment.
Where can I find and apply to software development manager jobs?
You can find and apply to software development manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
