Description

Engineering Manager

Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS)

About DHS

At DHS, we serve more than 200,000 residents each year and manage over $1 billion in essential services for Allegheny County’s most vulnerable populations.

We’ve built a strong reputation for using data and technology to improve how public services work, and we are continuing to grow.

The Role

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a growing internal software team within the Office of Analytics, Technology, and Planning (ATP).

This role reports directly to the CTO and plays a key part in building, maintaining, and integrating software that supports our services and operations.

What You’ll Do

As Engineering Manager, you will guide a team of engineers working on full-stack applications and backend services.

Our core stack includes:

  • React (frontend)
  • Python / Django (backend)
  • Azure (cloud platform)
  • PostgreSQL and Oracle (databases)

You will:

  • Support day-to-day development across multiple applications and services
  • Mentor engineers and support their professional growth
  • Improve how we ship, test, and support code
  • Review code and help solve technical challenges
  • Shape technical direction, architecture, and quality standards

You do not need to code every day, but you should be comfortable engaging deeply with the technical work.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead a growing team of software engineers across multiple applications and services
  • Deliver reliable, maintainable software through modular design and reusable components
  • Partner with product and UX to turn goals into actionable development work
  • Improve processes for testing, deployment, and release management
  • Mentor engineers and support career development
  • Step in as needed to review code, solve problems, and guide technical decisions

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering, including 1 to 2 years leading or managing teams
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work across technical and non-technical teams
  • Experience with React, Django or Python, REST APIs, and relational databases such as PostgreSQL or Oracle
  • Familiarity with cloud environments, especially Azure, and CI/CD workflows
  • Experience building modular systems and reusable components
  • A collaborative, team-first leadership approach
  • Interest in building technology that supports public services and communities

Application

This is a salaried role with benefits, reporting to the CTO and fully embedded with the DHS team.

Candidates will be formally employed by our staffing partner, Computer Aid Inc.

Why DHS

You can make a real impact here.

We are one of the leading human services organizations in the country, and we are focused on using technology thoughtfully to improve outcomes for the people we serve.

We are looking for problem-solvers, builders, and leaders who want to help ensure we use our resources effectively to reach those who need support most.

“DHS strives to be the kind of place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come to grow and do their best work.”
