About minware
minware provides development observability software that helps engineering organizations gain full visibility into their software development process to improve predictability, efficiency, and more.
Kevin Borders founded minware after bootstrapping his previous company to $86m in revenue and selling in 2021, with the idea of helping others benefit from lessons learned growing an engineering team from 0 to 40.
minware is a self-funded seed-stage company. After promising initial customer traction, we are looking for people who share our values to help bring minware to a larger audience.

We are seeking an ambitious and nice engineering manager who has experience leading teams that build scalable, maintainable software.

Work closely with product managers and customers to define minware’s capabilities.
Design and architect new system components.
Manage a backlog of tech debt reduction and internal efficiency improvements.
