Senior Manager, Software Engineering

Overview

Lead a small, senior-heavy engineering team, including staff engineers, building Homh, ServiceTitan's new consumer brand that connects homeowners with vetted contractors. This is a 0-to-1 build with an early-stage product, and the role works directly alongside the exec team, product, and design.

What you'll do

• Drive technical direction across the full stack, including mobile app, backend services, and frontend, including geolocation-based matching logic and other core product systems
• Set the bar on architecture and design decisions as a credible technical counterpart to a team that includes staff-level engineers
• Own and communicate the team's roadmap, balancing fast iteration against a coherent long-term technical vision
• Partner closely with B2B engineering teams to ensure Homh's architecture works well with ServiceTitan's existing contractor-side tools and systems
• Champion AI tooling across the team's workflow, pushing for leverage in how the team builds, researches, and ships
• Take accountability for delivery through discovery and implementation, including technical tradeoffs under ambiguity
• Set development plans, run 1:1s, and assess progress, with an emphasis on technical mentorship and unblocking over process-building
• Build team cohesion, celebrating wins and solving problems together
• Partner with Recruiting on interviewing, sourcing, and screening to help build out the team
• Communicate clearly and directly with engineers, product, design, and leadership in a fast-moving, cross-functional org

What you'll need

• 7+ years managing software engineering teams
• Experience managing senior or staff-level engineers directly
• Hands-on technical background as a senior or staff engineer designing APIs, systems, and abstractions used by other engineers
• Ability to go deep enough on architecture across frontend, backend, and mobile to make credible calls with a team that doesn't need hand-holding technically
• Comfort with ambiguity and fast iteration on an early-stage product without settled processes
• Strong communication and technical writing skills

Nice to have

• Experience with the stack: React, TypeScript, C#/.NET, Next.js, Tailwind, Vite, Azure (Container Apps, Functions, Service Bus), PostgreSQL, Snowflake, LangGraph, MCP, Kafka
• Consumer-facing (B2C) product experience, ideally 0-to-1 or early-stage
• Mobile app development experience
• Experience managing a team through a period of headcount growth, as the role is expected to grow into an org with M1s reporting up as the team expands
• B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
