Senior Manager, Software Engineering
About The Position
We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Core Platform Infrastructure team. This team owns the distributed systems foundations that power ServiceTitan’s engineering ecosystem, including messaging infrastructure, asynchronous processing frameworks, and the internal developer platform used by hundreds of engineers across the company. This is one of the most critical technical leadership roles in the organization. The platform you build and evolve will define how software is developed, deployed, and operated across ServiceTitan. We are looking for a hands-on, technically strong leader who can drive architectural direction, scale critical infrastructure, and build the platform capabilities that enable the entire engineering organization to move faster with confidence.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems
- Strong background in messaging systems, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous processing frameworks
- Proven experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or infrastructure used by large engineering organizations
- Strong architectural judgment with the ability to lead complex technical design discussions and drive long-term platform direction
- Experience improving engineering productivity through platform capabilities, frameworks, and automation
- Familiarity with performance engineering, reliability practices, and operating high-scale production infrastructure
- Experience applying AI tooling to engineering workflows such as testing, code quality, operational insights, or developer productivity
- Strong leadership and communication skills, able to work deeply with engineers while effectively partnering with senior leadership
- A track record of building and growing strong engineering teams while delivering transformative platform capabilities
Responsibilities
- Own the Core Platform: Lead the engineering team responsible for the foundational infrastructure used across the company, including messaging systems, event-driven architectures, asynchronous job processing frameworks, and internal developer tooling.
