Full Job Description
Overview Moonshot builds the power infrastructure that makes AI possible. Our electrical distribution equipment goes into the largest AI datacenter deployments in the country; our customers include the companies building the next generation of AI compute. Moonshot Labs is our internal technology organization. We build the software, automation, and AI agents that accelerate how a manufacturing business runs, from the shop floor to leadership. As Software Development Manager, you own the software development team: the people, the delivery, and the execution of the roadmap. You are the single point of contact between Labs software and the rest of the business, and you are hands-on enough to set the technical bar and make real architecture calls. You keep the team on the leading edge of applied AI, both in how they build and in what they build, from AI-assisted development to shipping practical AI agents that put time back in people's hands. This is a build-it leadership role reporting directly to the CTO, with scope that grows as Labs grows. Key Responsibilities Team Leadership and Development: Manage, mentor, and grow the software development team. Own hiring, 1:1s, performance management, and team structure. Develop your people and keep the quality bar high as the team scales. Delivery Ownership and Process: Own the team's execution, quality, and cadence. Establish and maintain sprint structure, release process, source control, and staging discipline that let a small team ship fast without breaking production. Keep the process lightweight enough that developers follow it and rigorous enough that leadership has visibility, and adapt it as the team grows. Roadmap Execution and Prioritization: In partnership with the CTO, translate company priorities into a sequenced, prioritized plan. Decide what the team builds next and why, balance competing requests, and keep the team pointed at the highest-impact work. Business Interface: Be the primary point of contact between Lab
