Software Development Manager

Are you a people-focused manager with technical chops? Are you an experienced Ruby on Rails developer? Do you prefer collaboration to the solo hustle? Are you motivated by providing valuable enhancements and tooling to a growing team? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you might be the Software Development Manager we’re looking for!

The N2 Company is America’s leading publisher of community magazines. We’re proud of our award-winning media brands – they reach millions of readers in 47 states and help great businesses connect with ideal clients – but we’re even more proud to provide supportive and fulfilling remote work opportunities for our people. 

Our ideal candidate will lead a team of software developers who build the applications that run our business and the integrations to third-party services we leverage. We’re focused on improving quality in our systems both technically and to our end users. Our internal systems are built in Ruby on Rails with interprocess communication in Kafka. We leverage services, not micro services. Our focus is on using proven technologies to deliver systems our users rely on to print and ship their magazines to communities across the country.

Interviews for this opening will be conducted over the phone and via video calls. This role will be fully remote.
