Job Title:
Sr. Software Development Manager

Pay Range:$-$ Annually

Location:Fremont, CA, USA

Description:

We are looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to lead backend engineering and agentic AI initiatives for Rack Navigator — MSI’s next-generation platform for autonomous datacenter operations.

This role combines hands-on technical leadership with team management, focused on building scalable backend systems and intelligent agents that automate infrastructure provisioning, diagnostics, and lifecycle management. You will lead a team of engineers developing AI-driven workflows that interact with real-world datacenter systems at rack scale.

What you will DO:

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Lead the design and development of backend services, APIs, and microservices powering Rack Navigator.
• Define architecture for agentic AI systems that orchestrate infrastructure workflows (provisioning, validation, diagnostics, remediation).
• Drive design decisions for scalability, reliability, and performance across distributed infrastructure systems.
• Establish best practices for system design, observability, and fault tolerance.

Agentic AI & Infrastructure Automation

• Oversee development of AI-driven agents that interact with infrastructure control planes, telemetry systems, and hardware APIs.
• Guide the implementation of automation for rack-scale diagnostics, health monitoring, and failure analysis.
• Ensure seamless integration between AI workflows and datacenter infrastructure (compute, storage, networking).
• Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing backend engineering team.
• Drive sprint planning, execution, and delivery of key platform capabilities.
• Set clear goals, provide technical direction, and foster a culture of ownership and innovation.
• Balance hands-on coding/reviews with strategic leadership responsibilities.
• Establish coding standards, testing frameworks, and CI/CD practices.
• Drive development of reusable libraries and internal platforms for infrastructure lifecycle automation.
• Ensure high-quality, maintainable, and well-documented code.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner with infrastructure, hardware, production, and AI teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Align engineering efforts with product and business goals.
• Support production deployments and continuous improvement of datacenter operations.

What you will NEED:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of software development experience, with 2+ years in a technical leadership or management role.
• Strong proficiency in Python for backend systems and automation.
• Experience building scalable backend services, APIs, and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation (Ansible, Python, Shell).
• Solid understanding of datacenter infrastructure (compute, networking, storage).
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex environments.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience building or leading teams developing agentic AI systems or LLM-driven automation.
• Familiarity with modern AI orchestration frameworks and “vibe coding” environments (rapid prototyping with AI-assisted development tools).
• Experience with GPU clusters, HPC systems, or rack-scale architectures.
• Background in diagnostics, system validation, or hardware-software integration.
• Experience with Dev Ops practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Knowledge of…
