Software Manager - Fleet Telematics SaaS

Fully remote · Eligible to work in Canada

BrightOrder builds fleet-management software that keeps fleets safer, smarter and more profitable. Our EMDECS and emdecsone platforms, along with our Telematics, ELD and Trailer Trackers products, help repair shops and fleet operators across North America and the UK track their vehicles, stay compliant and run more efficiently.

You’ll lead and coach a team of 7–10 developers, own how the team delivers, and still ship production code yourself. You report to the VP of Operations & Customer Experience.

You’ll work as a partner, not a solo decision-maker. The Product lead owns the roadmap, and you help set priorities with them. You assess technology and architecture options and bring clear recommendations to the VP, who makes the final call. This role is for an experienced manager who does their best work inside a team and a structure.

What you’ll own

Coaching the team: regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews and growth plans for 7–10 developers.

Prioritization with Product: turn the roadmap into realistic sprint plans, and flag trade-offs and risks early.

Delivery: sprint execution and release management, so the team ships predictably and with quality.

Production reliability: lead incident response, run post-mortems and make sure the same problem doesn’t happen twice.

Technical recommendations: evaluate options and recommend architecture and technology decisions to the VP, with clear pros, cons
