In order to do so, we have built our native Knowledge Graph that is capable of syncing structured and unstructured records from any external system, providing semantic search capabilities, enabling automations and agentic skills, and deep analytical querying on top of these records.

Coupling the knowledge graph with foundational pieces such as our permission and access management platform, agent studio and execution engine, our native observability platform, enable us to build agentic applications that work reliably for large enterprises and young startups alike.

About the role: Senior Engineering Manager In order to build agentic applications, we need to be able to ingest, index and serve large volumes of data, enable agents and automations to fetch, reason, process user and system events as well as analyze and aggregate the data to unlock intelligence. All this, while giving full control to customers to customize and model their business on top of DevRev.

We are looking for experienced engineering leaders who are passionate about building fast, reliable, and personalizable platforms, and can help their teams deliver customer delight.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of senior to early-career high-performing engineers tackling these challenges. You will be an engineer first — capable of designing and building alongside your team, while also driving technical direction, execution excellence, and team development.

• Be accountable for customer delight, ensuring systems deliver performance, reliability, and simplicity at scale.
• Mentor and coach engineers to solve complex scalability, performance, and multi-tenancy challenges while growing technical depth and ownership.
• Drive technical excellence through distributed systems best practices, API-first design, and CI/CD to ensure high deployment velocity and reliability.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across engineering, product, sales, marketing, and customer success to incorporate customer and market needs, align priorities, and drive clarity.

What You'll Need

• 10–15 years software engineering experience in large-scale distributed systems.
