About the Role:

Demandbase is looking for a technically deep Engineering Manager who is ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. This role is ideal for a Staff or Principal Engineer transitioning into management, or a new manager with experience leading highly technical teams.

You’ll lead a team (or teams) focused on delivering scalable, performant systems with measurable customer impact, while continuing to operate with technical credibility — from guiding architecture to reviewing code and unblocking complex problems. You’ll partner with Staff Engineers and Product Managers to align technical execution with product strategy and bring AI-powered B2B solutions to life.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA.

The base compensation range for this position for candidates in the SF Bay Area is: $204,000-$306,000. For all other locations, the base compensation range is based on the primary work location of the candidate as our ranges are location specific. Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skillset, years of experience, and depth of experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead and grow a team of engineers, focusing on individual development, team cohesion, and high-quality software delivery.
  • Drive execution across projects involving scalable microservices, distributed systems, and data platforms — ensuring technical excellence, velocity, and customer impact.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to translate product vision into actionable technical roadmaps.
  • Stay hands-on by participating in technical design reviews, code reviews, architectural planning, and incident retrospectives.
  • Support your team in delivering high-impact work while maintaining quality, security, and system resiliency.
  • Partner with Staff and Principal Engineers to integrate generative and agentic AI capabilities into our platform to drive customer outcomes.
  • Champion modern engineering practices such as continuous delivery, test automation, observability, and cloud-native deployment.
  • Cultivate a culture of trust, ownership, and inclusion — leading by example and coaching engineers through career growth and decision-making.
    What We’re Looking For
  • A Staff+ engineer or early-career manager with a technical foundation and a growing passion for leadership.
  • Proven ability to drive large-scale technical initiatives with cross-functional alignment.
  • Strong communicator who can bridge technical and business priorities, and foster collaboration across teams.
  • A hands-on technical leader — comfortable engaging in architecture discussions and digging into complex systems when needed.
  • Passion for helping engineers grow through mentorship, feedback, and clear goals.
  • Interest in leveraging AI and automation to improve developer experience and product capabilities.
  • Strong background in agile development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, etc.).

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 1–3 years in a leadership capacity (e.g., Tech Lead, Staff+, or People Manager).
  • Demonstrated success leading delivery of distributed systems or cloud-native platforms.
  • Proficient in one or more modern backend languages (Java, Scala, Python preferred).
  • Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Deep understanding of system design, architectural trade-offs, and performance tuning at scale.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-driven development tools and their integration into engineering workflows.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent real-world experience.

Why This Role Is Exciting

  • Lead with impact: You’ll directly influence our most strategic technical initiatives and drive key outcomes for our customers and business.
  • Stay close to the tech: We value technical leadership and expect our managers to stay engaged in architecture and code.
  • Grow as a people leader: You’ll have the support to grow your leadership skills through mentorship, peer networks, and real experience.
  • Innovate with AI: Be at the forefront of integrating generative and agentic AI into a platform used by modern B2B teams.

Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, well-being, and financial security. Our employees enjoy up to 100% paid premiums for Medical and Vision coverage, ensuring access to top-tier care for you and your loved ones. In addition, we provide a range of mental wellness resources, including access to Modern Health, to help support your emotional well-being.
