We are looking for a Software Development Manager (SDM) to join our Advertiser Experience Frameworks team to lead development of the Aperture Cloud Ads agent experience on the Aperture Cloud Ads Console.
As an SDM, you will be responsible for delivering Ads Agent experiences that hundreds of thousands of advertisers use to manage their advertising strategies on Aperture Cloud.

Your contributions will directly lead to more intuitive experiences, improved advertiser productivity, and innovative features that leverage agentic capabilities across our platform. If you enjoy working with high-performance teams, being part of a rapidly growing business, and inventing creative solutions to complex technical challenges, this may be the role for you.
Great candidates for this role will have strong communication skills and know how to work collaboratively with teams across time zones. They should have experience building scalable web applications, system design, integration of distributed services and demonstrable recent experience with leading teams through change as agentic coding becomes the de facto approach to building software systems.

Most importantly, they will work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, product leaders, and software development managers to deliver excellent solutions that enhance the advertising experience.
Key job responsibilities
Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team that delivers agentic advertising experiences at scale.
Drive technical vision and architecture decisions that enable scalable agentic capabilities across the advertising console.
Partner with Product and Design teams to translate agentic experience requirements into technical solutions.
Ensure operational excellence through metrics, monitoring, and maintenance of high availability systems.
Mentor and develop engineers while fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
Drive engineering best practices, code quality, and technical design reviews.
Collaborate with partner engineering teams to design and implement integrated agentic solutions.

A day in the life
As an Aperture Cloud SDM, your day typically involves balancing technical leadership with people management. You might start your morning with your team's standup, unblocking critical issues and ensuring progress on key product features. Throughout the day, you'll collaborate with product managers to refine requirements for upcoming agentic experience capabilities, while working with your engineers on technical design reviews and architecture decisions.
You'll spend time mentoring engineers, reviewing pull requests, and ensuring your team's services maintain high availability as they serve agentic experiences to hundreds of thousands of advertisers. Cross-team collaboration is key - you'll sync with partner teams to align on integration points and shared services, whether that's discussing API contracts or planning joint deliverables.
Part of your day involves monitoring system health, analyzing performance metrics, and making data-driven decisions to improve the platform's scalability and reliability. You'll also focus on team growth and development, conducting 1:1s with team members, providing technical guidance, and helping engineers advance in their careers.
Strategic planning is another crucial aspect - you'll work on technical roadmaps, capacity planning, and making architectural decisions that enable the team to deliver agentic experiences at scale. Whether you're diving deep into a technical challenge with your engineers or collaborating with leadership on strategic initiatives, you'll be focused on building systems that make our Advertising Console more intuitive and efficient through deploying agentic/chat experiences.
