Software Engineering Manager

Overview

Lutron is seeking an experienced Software Engineering Manager to serve as a people leader and organizational anchor for our growing Boston software team. This role is ideal for a leader who thrives on coaching engineers, developing future leaders, strengthening culture, and aligning teams to a shared technical vision, rather than personally driving day-to-day project execution.

In this role, you will lead and support teams of talented software engineers working across embedded, mobile, cloud, and web technologies. Rather than acting as a primary project lead, you will focus on mentorship, organizational alignment, capability building, and delivery excellence - ensuring teams are set up for sustained success.

You will help teams deliver high-quality, customer-facing software by reinforcing strong engineering practices, fostering collaboration across functions, and championing continuous improvement in how we build and ship connected systems.
