Senior Engineering Manager

Bentley Systems • Philadelphia, PA

About The Position

We are seeking an Senior Engineering Manager / Tech Lead to lead the engineering team building the Bentley Developer Platform — the end-to-end technical stack that takes a developer from sign-up through API consumption to billing and settlement. You will own delivery of this platform and build and lead a team of approximately eight engineers across portal, infrastructure, QA, and security. This is a hands-on engineering management role. You will run delivery and sprint planning, make technical decisions in partnership with the Principal Engineer, and remain actively involved in the code, contributing hands-on for a meaningful portion of your time. We are looking for a delivery-focused, technically credible leader who can both build a high-performing team and ship a commercial-grade platform.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with several years leading or managing engineering teams.
• Demonstrated experience delivering commercial SaaS or API platform products end to end.
• Hands-on technical credibility — able to write code, review architecture, and earn the respect of senior engineers.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, API gateways, OAuth, billing systems integration, and event-driven architectures.
• Strong delivery discipline: sprint planning, release management, and shipping to deadline against an aggressive ramp.
• Proven ability to hire and build a high-performing team quickly.
• Excellent communication skills across engineering, product, and cross-functional stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Experience operating in a federated or matrixed environment with shared accountability across functions is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of the platform across the portal and infrastructure teams: API gateway, metering pipeline, billing engine integration, and settlement.
• Hire, organize, and lead a team of approximately eight engineers (Portal, Platform Infrastructure, QA/Automation, and a matrixed Security Engineer).
• Run sprint planning, delivery cadences, and release management, maintaining a continuous and reliable delivery pipeline.
• Make technical decisions in partnership with the Principal Engineer and remain hands-on, contributing to the codebase directly.
• Deliver the platform’s foundational milestones, including the API gateway with OAuth-based authentication, the developer portal, the initial commercial model, and live usage and metering dashboards.
• Partner with Product Management to translate product specs for the Developer Hub and commercial engine into delivered software.
• Coordinate L2 developer support for API integration, authentication, and performance issues, and manage the handoff of L3 issues to product teams.
• Partner with Security and Legal to operate within established security, compliance, and deployment standards.
