This role blends hands-on technical leadership with strong people management, ensuring the delivery of reliable, scalable backend services and APIs. Beyond execution, this role treats backend systems as products in their own right. You and your team will be responsible for designing systems with a forward-looking mindset - anticipating future use cases, enabling flexibility, and reducing the need for constant rework as the business evolves. You'll partner closely with Product, SRE, and cross-functional stakeholders to define technical strategy, execute against key initiatives, and continuously improve engineering practices. A core part of your role will be developing talent - coaching engineers, strengthening team capabilities, and fostering a culture of accountability, inclusion, and growth. You'll also help guide the thoughtful adoption of AI across the engineering lifecycle - identifying where AI tools can improve development velocity, code quality, and operational insights, while ensuring they are used responsibly and aligned to the task at hand. This role is fully remote, with an expectation of approximately 10% travel for in-person team collaboration, team-building, and key business meetings. Why This Role Matters: This role is critical to delivering seamless, scalable experiences across VERSANT's Entertainment ecosystem. By leading both system design and team development - and treating backend systems as durable, evolving products - you'll enable the organization to move faster, adapt more easily, and avoid costly rework over time. What you'll do: * Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers, with a strong focus on people development, performance management, and career growth * Own the design, development, and delivery of backend systems, APIs, and partner integrations, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security * Approach backend systems as products, designing for flexibility, extensibility, and long-term maintainability rather than short-term solutions * Anticipate future use cases and evolving business needs, reducing rework by building adaptable and well-architected systems * Drive cross-functional execution with Product, SRE, and Operations to deliver high-quality solutions and resolve production issues effectively * Establish and evolve engineering best practices across code quality, testing, deployment, and system design * Oversee API architecture and third-party integrations, including authentication, compliance, and platform scalability * Champion the effective use of AI tools across the development lifecycle (e.g., code generation, testing, observability), ensuring they are applied thoughtfully to the right problems, Fully Remote: This position has been designated as fully remote, meaning that the position is expected to contribute from a non-Versant worksite, most commonly an employee's residence., Description The Operations Manager serves as a critical member of the leadership team, providing strategic direction, operational excellence, and mission-focused oversight for th… + 2 days ago, Responsibilities: Oversees, plans and issues work orders to appropriate shift team members for the implementation of equipment modifications as well as preventative and any corre… + 1 month ago + ## Related Videos - [API Design - Getting Started](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/33-api-design-getting-started) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) ## Related Articles - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
