Senior Engineering Manager

About the role

Bentley Systems is seeking an Senior Engineering Manager / Tech Lead to lead the engineering team building the Bentley Developer Platform — the end-to-end technical stack that takes a developer from sign-up through API consumption to billing and settlement.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of the platform across the portal and infrastructure teams: API gateway, metering pipeline, billing engine integration, and settlement.
• Hire, organize, and lead a team of approximately eight engineers (Portal, Platform Infrastructure, QA/Automation, and a matrixed Security Engineer).
• Run sprint planning, delivery cadences, and release management, maintaining a continuous and reliable delivery pipeline.
• Make technical decisions in partnership with the Principal Engineer and remain hands-on, contributing to the codebase directly.
• Deliver the platform’s foundational milestones, including the API gateway with OAuth-based authentication, the developer portal, the initial commercial model, and live usage and metering dashboards.
• Partner with Product Management to translate product specs for the Developer Hub and commercial engine into delivered software.
• Career Mobility Policy: Complete twelve (12) months of employment in your current position and are in good standing with regards to performance in current role before applying for another role within Bentley. Apply for open roles in the Career Opportunities page to be considered for a role. Strongly consider notifying your current manager at the time you apply. If selected for a role you applied for, you are expected to notify your current manager when an offer is extended, and before you accept the offer.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with several years leading or managing engineering teams.
• Demonstrated experience delivering commercial SaaS or API platform products end to end.
• Hands-on technical credibility — able to write code, review architecture, and earn the respect of senior engineers.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, API gateways, OAuth, billing systems integration, and event-driven architectures.
• Strong delivery discipline: sprint planning, release management, and shipping to deadline against an aggressive ramp.
• Proven ability to hire and build a high-performing team quickly.
• Experience operating in a federated or matrixed environment with shared accountability across functions is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills across engineering, product, and cross-functional stakeholders.
