Robert Eyer

Director of Software Engineering / Senior Engineering Manager with 25+ years in software development and 15+ years leading high-performing engineering teams. Proven at scaling teams, modernizing platforms, and aligning engineering execution with product and business strategy.

I’m a results-driven software development leader with deep experience delivering enterprise and SaaS solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem. My background spans full-stack development, cloud-native architecture (.NET, Azure), agile delivery, and cross-functional leadership with product, operations, and go-to-market teams.

Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles including VP of Software & Product Development and Senior Software Development Manager, as well as founder of my own consulting practice. I’ve led digital transformations, modernized legacy systems, built scalable engineering organizations, and partnered closely with product and sales leadership to support strategic growth initiatives.

I specialize in building strong, resilient teams, mentoring engineers and engineering managers, establishing clear delivery processes, and fostering cultures that value accountability, psychological safety, and continuous improvement. I’m comfortable operating at both the strategic and hands-on levels, from setting technical direction to unblocking teams and guiding complex architectural decisions.

My leadership style is people-first, execution-focused, and pragmatic, grounded in a deep understanding of both the technology and the customer.

Industry experience includes: real estate technology, government and civic systems, public safety and geospatial/mapping solutions, health and wellness technology, and SaaS platforms.
