ABOUT THE ROLE
The Accounting Platforms team is accountable for the operation, stability, and strategic evolution of Parametric's accounting systems. The Manager, Software Engineering will lead the engineering team responsible for these platforms- owning delivery, operations, and people leadership across a portfolio that spans platform reliability, business-as-usual demand, and a multi-year modernization initiative. Parametric's business is growing quickly, and the manager is accountable for ensuring the accounting platforms scale to match
- supporting higher transaction volumes and data throughput efficiently and without sacrificing reliability. This is a hands-on technical delivery leadership position
- a management role that stays close to the technical detail, engaged in options, design review, and platform behavior, rather than serving as the team's expert engineer.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Delivery and portfolio Own a single visible, prioritized portfolio spanning platform operations, BAU demand, and strategic transition, and hold the trade-offs between them. Own the intake-to-delivery process- sizing, decision rights, stakeholder commitment, and delivery reporting
- and keep it fit for purpose as demand changes.
Radius Accounting Service:
the APIs and Kafka interfaces that map Parametric's business domain concepts onto each accounting platform's integration model, so consumers work in business language rather than accounting-system detail. Own the design of high-value accounting data products; partner with automation teams to build the extraction pipelines, and monitor them as supported products with agreed quality, timeliness, and performance expectations. Own integration between the accounting platforms and Radius in both directions: data flowing into the accounting platforms, and accounting capability surfaced through the Radius Accounting Service. Strategic transition Lead the sustained alignment of accounting workflows withRadius:
workflow discovery with the business, agreement on target-state use, readiness criteria, delivery, and adoption. Partner with business leaders and solution managers to hold a current, viable transition path for accounting workflows, and revise it as the platforms and the business change. Keep the transition sequenced against operational continuity, so alignment advances without putting business outcomes at risk. People Manage, develop, and grow the team: establishing clear expectations, coaching, career development, hiring, onboarding, and succession planning, including deliberate reduction of single-person knowledge dependencies.JOB QUALIFICATIONS
Primary Skills 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing software engineers. Working knowledge of AI capabilities and practical approaches to applying them in engineering organizations. Experience leading a technical team through a multi-stakeholder platform build or modernization effort that included business-process change, not only software change.
