Engineering Manager, Agentic Commerce

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead the engineering team across Agentic Commerce. You will be responsible for the people, execution, and engineering quality behind products that power machine-to-machine payments and monetization.

Responsibilities:

• Manage, coach, and grow engineers working across high-throughput payment pipelines, agent authentication, and web-scale commerce architecture.
• Own execution by establishing clear priorities, creating predictable delivery, and giving engineers the context and autonomy to own meaningful areas of the product.
• Lead the development of agentic payment systems leveraging emerging open standards (x402, Web Bot Auth, ACP, UCP) to enable low-latency, machine-to-machine micropayments.
• Lead the engineering behind usage metering, pricing definition engines, outcome verification, and revenue attribution models tailored for agentic workflows.
• Build capabilities that give businesses granular visibility and control over their agent-generated revenue streams.
• Partner closely with Product Management to understand customer problems, shape the roadmap, and turn broad opportunities into clear engineering outcomes.
• Bridge mainstream and decentralized tech, interfacing with blockchain teams while keeping execution focused on mainstream, high-throughput web and fiat commerce rails.
• Balance near-term product delivery with thoughtful technical investments that allow promising ideas to grow.
• Own the operational health of the systems in your area, including observability, incident response, cryptographic security, and long-term reliability.
• Develop technical leaders and create space for engineers to lead architecture and implementation.

Requirements:

• You have led and developed a high-performing engineering team(s) and can point to what that team shipped and how the people on it grew.
• You are technically credible with experienced engineers.
• You are comfortable managing a team working across several related technical areas.
• You care deeply about reliability and quality, particularly when the output of a system handles monetary transactions or machine authorization.
• You have strong product judgment and enjoy working with Product Management to decide what is worth building.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and with finding structure in areas where the opportunity is clearer than the roadmap.
• You communicate clearly, give direct feedback, and can explain complex technical decisions to both engineers and non-engineers.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with emerging agentic/machine-to-machine payment protocols (x402, AP2, ACP, UCP).
• Experience building hybrid fiat/crypto payment infrastructure.
• Familiarity with Cloudflare’s developer platform (Workers, Durable Objects, KV) or edge computing architectures.
• Experience turning complex underlying systems into useful payment or commerce products for a broad audience.
• Experience with usage-based billing, metering engines, attribution systems, or complex commercial pricing models.
• Previous experience working in payments and on payments technology
