The posting

About the Role

Navan's GOS engineering team builds the shared platform and capabilities that help teams across Navan develop, evaluate, deploy, and operate AI-powered products safely and at scale. The team focuses on reusable AI services that reduce repetitive manual workflows, along with model and provider integrations, evaluation and observability, guardrails, and a strong developer experience.

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 5-10 full-stack engineers. You will translate business and product needs into a clear technical strategy, balance near-term delivery with long-term platform investments, and create an environment where engineers can do their best work.

What You Will Do

  • Lead and Develop the Team: Manage, coach, and grow a team of 5-10 engineers. Set clear expectations, hold regular one-on-ones, provide actionable feedback, and support career development.
  • Set Technical Direction: Guide architecture and engineering trade-offs for shared AI services and platform capabilities, with a focus on scalability, security, reliability, and ease of adoption.
  • Drive Delivery: Turn strategy into realistic roadmaps, milestones, and ownership. Manage dependencies and risks while helping the team deliver measurable product and platform outcomes.
  • Gather and Clarify Requirements: Work closely with Operations, SRE, Security, Data Science, Legal, and engineering teams across Travel and Expense to understand problems, resolve ambiguity, and define clear requirements.
  • Raise the Quality Bar: Establish practices for AI evaluation, observability, privacy, safety, cost management, and operational readiness. Use data and production feedback to improve the platform.
  • Build Strong Partnerships: Communicate decisions and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Coordinate cross-team initiatives and create alignment around shared priorities.
  • Scale the Organization: Identify staffing needs, lead hiring and onboarding, and improve engineering processes as the team and its responsibilities grow.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 7+ years of software engineering experience building scalable systems, including at least 2 years of direct engineering management experience.
  • Technical Depth: Strong knowledge of distributed systems, APIs, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure. Experience with AI or machine learning platforms, large language model applications, or developer platforms is valuable.
  • Engineering Judgment: Ability to evaluate architecture, make practical trade-offs, and guide teams through complex technical and operational decisions.
  • Leadership and Execution: A record of building healthy teams, managing delivery across competing priorities, and holding a high bar for quality and ownership.
  • Communication: Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical concepts, decisions, and risks to different audiences.
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Good to Have

  • Knowledge of the travel domain, including corporate travel, booking, servicing, or expense workflows.
  • Strong product knowledge and a product-minded approach to connecting platform investments with customer and business needs.
  • Experience working with varied stakeholders to gather requirements, reconcile competing needs, and turn ambiguous problems into an executable plan.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a record of simplifying complex technical or business challenges.
  • Hands-on exposure to large language models, model providers, retrieval systems, evaluations, observability, or AI governance.
  • Experience building shared capabilities that are adopted by multiple product and engineering teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
