Over 50,000 people depend on our software to perform all their daily activities. 

As we accelerate our investments in AI-powered initiatives, we are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who can lead high-impact teams, operate effectively in ambiguity, and guide the design and delivery of scalable, cross-cutting systems that span multiple domains.

This role is ideal for a senior leader who combines strong people leadership with deep technical judgment, and who thrives in environments where speed, clarity, and accountability matter.

What You’ll Do:

People & Team Leadership

• Establish clear, outcome-driven professional development plans with milestones for engineers and managers.

• Provide ongoing coaching through 1:1s, feedback, and active mentorship, raising the bar on both technical and leadership excellence.

• Build a strong team culture grounded in ownership, trust, psychological safety, and continuous improvement.

• Attract, hire, and retain top engineering talent in close partnership with Recruiting.

• Grow future technical and people leaders by creating opportunities for increased scope, ownership, and impact.

Technical & Systems Leadership

• Guide teams in the design, evolution, and operation of scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems, especially in areas spanning multiple services and product domains.

• Act as a senior technical leader who can dive deep into architecture discussions, review designs, and help teams navigate complex technical trade-offs.

• Ensure high standards of engineering quality, including system reliability, performance, security, and operational excellence.

• Balance short-term delivery needs with long-term technical health, actively managing technical debt and platform evolution.

Execution & Delivery

• Own delivery outcomes for your teams across discovery, design, implementation, and production.

• Build, communicate, and continuously refine a clear technical and execution roadmap aligned with business and product goals.

• Drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces by breaking down complex initiatives into actionable plans with measurable outcomes.

• Identify risks early, unblock teams, and make timely decisions to maintain momentum in fast-moving environments.

Cross-Functional & Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and other Engineering teams to deliver cohesive, end-to-end solutions.

• Coordinate effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders, aligning dependencies and resolving conflicts to optimize for speed and impact.

• Communicate clearly and regularly with senior leaders, providing crisp updates on progress, risks, and trade-offs.

• Foster strong collaboration across ServiceTitan, especially when working on initiatives that cut across existing systems and ownership boundaries.

​What You’ll Bring:

• 7+ years of experience managing software engineering teams, including senior engineers and/or managers.

• Strong technical background with experience designing and operating complex, distributed systems used at scale.

• Proven ability to lead teams through ambiguity, balancing urgency with sound technical decision-making.

• Experience coordinating work across multiple teams, domains, or systems, aligning stakeholders toward shared outcomes.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics to diverse audiences.

• Demonstrated track record of delivering high-impact, business-critical initiatives end-to-end.
   

Ideal Candidates Also Have

• Proficiency in one or more of the following languages: C#, Java, Python, or Node.js/TypeScript (full stack only).

• Familiarity with modern engineering practices: Git, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and performance monitoring.

• Exposure to AI-enabled or data-driven systems, or a strong interest in building intelligent, customer-facing platforms.

• Experience operating in fast-paced environments where speed, ownership, and adaptability are critical.
