Software Engineering Manager

Are you adept at building software, fostering team synergy and encouraging knowledge sharing?

We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead our talented Geoscience Tools team.

The Cegal Geoscience Tools team maintains and develops a range of geoscience and geophysics products. Most are sophisticated plugins to SLB’s desktop Petrel product and written in C#, but some are standalone products with a distributed architecture and a web-based presentation layer with a broader technology stack including Blazor, Go, Python and Azure.

All in our team feel a great sense of ownership as they are involved from requirements-gathering with customers and other experts through to designing, coding, and deploying the products. In this role, your impact will extend beyond management to shaping the way our team evolves, collaborates, and innovates in the geoscience domain.

As our Software Engineering Manager, you will:

• Build cohesion and structured collaboration across highly skilled team members in both Oslo and London. Your leadership will be pivotal in leading the team to maintain and enhance our existing products and in launching groundbreaking new applications.
• Enhance our software development workflows, ensure high standards of engineering, documentation and stakeholder communication and work closely with our Portfolio team to prioritize development efforts.
• Alongside maintaining high standards in our current projects, you will play a crucial role in hiring and integrating new team members, fostering a culture of openness and shared learning.
• While direct coding is not a daily task, your strong background in software development and architecture, ideally in numeric or scientific domains, will enable you to guide technical discussions and help the team make sound engineering and product decisions.

To thrive in this role we believe you share our passion for technology and interest in learning, and that you probably have:

• Extensive experience in leading software development teams with a track record of successful project delivery.
• Solid understanding of software development and its lifecycle and the ability to enthusiastically engage with technical details.
• Excellent communication abilities to connect with team members and stakeholders, fostering an environment of collaboration, learning and development.
• Capability to adapt to market changes and drive the development of new products with innovative architectures while ensuring that the team is resilient to changes.
• You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing commercial software products.
• 5+ years’ experience within a similar managerial role.
