Role Description BusPlanner is at a critical inflection point. We are scaling fast, our customers are counting on us, and execution - clean, predictable, urgent execution - is the single biggest lever we have. This role exists because we will not leave that lever to chance. The Development Manager is the right hand of the CTO. You will report directly to the CTO and act as the operational engine behind everything our development team ships. The Product team decides what we build; you make sure it ships - on time, in clean two-week increments, with no surprises and no excuses. This is a uniquely high-trust, high-leverage role: it is not a typical reporting line, but the moment we are in demands a partner the CTO can hand the reins of execution to and trust completely. This is an execution role, not a people role. You will not manage anyone's career, but you will own how the work flows: - How stories get broken down - How the daily scrum runs - How blockers get cleared - How every release goes out the door on schedule and fully tested - How Jira and Confluence stay sharp enough to give the whole company - and the CTO - a real-time view of progress If you find satisfaction in turning a messy backlog into a predictable, well-scoped, blocker-free sprint - and shipping it on time, every time - this role was built for you. Qualifications - Scrum Master certified (CSM, PSM, or equivalent) - Jira and Confluence expertise - power-user level skill - Proven execution track record in running sprints for a software development team - Release management experience - Detail-oriented and meticulous - Strong written and verbal communication skills - Comfortable working at a fast pace with shifting priorities Requirements - Run the two-week sprint cadence end to end - Ensure every story is broken down into small, well-defined tasks - Lead a crisp, time-boxed daily scrum - Plan, coordinate, and ship every release on schedule - Verify that every item in a release has been fully QA'd and signed off - Run a short, well-prepared release review for the company after each release - Be the source of truth for sprint and release health - Own Jira and Confluence as systems - Serve as the CTO's operational right hand - Partner closely with Product, QA, Design, and DevOps - Continuously refine how we estimate, plan, release, and execute Benefits - Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses - Full health and wellness benefits - Flexible work hours and remote-friendly setup - Modern development tooling and autonomy in shaping execution - Collaborative team culture focused on shipping high-quality software

• Act as the vital bridge between Product Management, Design, cross-functional Unity teams, and the Studio engineers to ensure clear communication and strategic alignment. • Champion technical excellence by orchestrating collaboration on the Studio codebase, guiding architectural decisions, overseeing PR reviews, and managing a streamlined release process. • Balance product velocity with platform health by actively listening to the development team and translating technical pain points into actionable roadmaps. • Drive engineering execution by optimizing agile methodologies, unblocking developers, and ensuring the predictable delivery of high-quality features. • Foster a high-performance, supportive culture by mentoring and coaching your team, actively guiding their professional development and career growth.

Role Description This role has been designated as ‘Remote/Teleworker’, which means you will primarily work from home.
