Senior Engineering Manager - AI Agents

About the role

CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize sales performance. We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, and now we're expanding our platform to solve broader sales planning challenges. Recognized by industry analysts like Forrester and G2 and backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, ICONIQ, Accel, and Sapphire Ventures,  we empower high-growth companies like Netflix, Figma, and Stripe with the flexibility and insights needed to drive revenue performance.
 
About the Role
AI agents are becoming central to how CaptivateIQ delivers value — from automating complex commission workflows to enabling customers to interact with their data through natural language. We're looking for a **Senior Engineering Manager** to own our AI agent platform and inform the strategic vision for how AI capabilities are adopted across the product.
This is not a pure execution role. You'll be an important voice in defining CaptivateIQ's AI strategy — partnering directly with Product leadership and the executive team to shape the company's AI roadmap and setting a technical vision for the AI platform that balances near-term product impact with long-term investment. You'll be accountable for translating that vision into shipped capabilities that move business metrics.
You'll lead the **AI Platform** team — responsible for our internal agent SDK, LLM orchestration layer, and the evaluation and observability infrastructure that underpins it all. Beyond your team's direct output, you'll serve as the senior technical voice for AI across the engineering organization, driving thought leadership on how every pillar adopts and integrates AI capabilities into their products. As the senior engineering leader for AI at CaptivateIQ, you'll have outsized influence on both the technology and the culture of how we build with AI.
