We are thrilled that Forrester has recognized Treasure Data as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Customer Data Platforms For B2C. It's an honor to be acknowledged for our efforts in advancing the CDP industry with cutting-edge AI and real-time capabilities.

Your Role:
We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and scale our AI Platform across two critical areas: (1) Agent Development Process & Ecosystem and (2) Platform Team (GA).

This role drives the architecture, reliability, and developer experience that enable teams to rapidly build and ship production-grade AI agents and AI-powered features.

Responsibilities:

1. Lead the Agent Development Process & Ecosystem

• Build an end-to-end development lifecycle for agents, including a capability progression model (basic → intermediate → senior → staff-level agents).

• Define standards for what should be an agent vs. a workflow, tool, or service.

• Build an Agent Marketplace with version control, cataloging, dependency management, and duplication checks.

• Establish system health checks, observability, and reliability metrics for agents and agent-to-agent communication protocols.
  Define QA for agents, including evaluation frameworks, automated tests, simulation-based checks, and incident criteria.

• Develop processes for distributing pre-built agents across accounts and teams.

• Ensure strong developer experience, enabling teams to quickly build, discover, and reuse agents.

2. Lead the Platform Team (GA)

• Serve as the senior leader of the Platform organization, with another Engineering Manager reporting to you and overseeing one of the two Platform sub-teams.

• Align both sub-teams on architecture, quality, standards, and execution rhythm.

• Own PRDs, ERDs, POCs, and documentation standards—making these processes fast, lightweight, and scalable.

• Improve engineering efficiency while maintaining required rigor, shifting the narrative around product readiness from “slow” to “accelerating delivery.”

• Enable predictable development with 0–2 week feature lead time.

• Establish consistent QA, testing, and evaluation standards for all Platform work.

• Deliver strong API documentation and integration pathways so other teams can reliably adopt tool calls and platform capabilities.

• Build internal agents (e.g., a GTM Agent) to reduce load on cross-functional teams.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead, coach, and develop engineers and an Engineering Manager; define career growth and succession planning across the Platform org.

• Partner closely with Product, Research, GTM, and engineering teams to align priorities and deliver high-impact capabilities.

• Act as the escalation point for platform reliability, integration issues, and cross-team dependencies.
  
  

Required Qualifications:

• Experience building large-scale distributed systems or AI platforms.

• Engineering management experience

• Deep understanding of agent architectures, orchestration, evaluation/QA, and observability.

• Strong platform fundamentals: API design, documentation, versioning, incident management, and developer experience.

• Ability to drive clarity, momentum, and quality in fast-moving environments.

• SASS experience preferred

Travel Requirements: 

May require up to 10%  travel to Japan, Headquarters, team offsites, etc.
