Software Development Manager, Commerce

Twitch

San Francisco, CA, US· $0K – $288K

If you want to move into engineering leadership early in your career, this is a direct path. You'll manage people building products that directly affect how creators earn money on Twitch. That's real impact from day one, not theoretical work.

Your job: lead a team that designs, builds, and runs services across the commerce stack. You'll work with product managers, designers, and data teams to ship features that help creators turn their passion into income. You'll own your services end-to-end—architecture, deployment, operations. You'll also hire, mentor, and develop your team.

This fits you if you have a computer science or related degree, some early coding experience, and you're genuinely interested in people and systems. A portfolio of projects or open-source work helps. You don't need years of management experience—Twitch is hiring leaders who can grow into the role.

Apply through CareerJumpShip to submit your resume, cover letter, and any portfolio links. Twitch will review your application and reach out if you're a fit for their interview process.
