Title:Technical Product Engineering Lead

Hands-On Product Delivery, Deep Technical Leadership, AI-First Execution

Location: Kochi, India

Employment Type: Full-time

Function: Product Engineering / Delivery

Role Type: Hands-on Leadership

Role Summary:

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Product Engineering Lead in Kochi to own School Path product delivery across engineering, QA, data, and GTM priorities. This is not a pure project manager or scrum master role. The leader must combine strong product thinking, deep technical problem-solving, user/customer advocacy, quality ownership, and hands-on coding/debugging support to keep delivery moving at high velocity without sacrificing team health or product trust.

Core Mission:

• Lead School Path dev, QA, and data teams to deliver complete, high-quality product journeys from requirements to production.
• Act as the customer/user voice while balancing scope, resources, GTM urgency, technical debt, and release quality.
• Go deep into technical issues: inspect architecture, review code, debug production problems, unblock developers, and assist with coding when needed.
• Drive AI-first automation across requirements, design, UX, code, testing, deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops.

Key Responsibilities:

Product + Delivery Ownership

• Convert business/GTM needs into sprint-ready priorities
• Own end-to-end delivery: requirements, design, UX, development, QA, and release
• Ensure complete user journeys, not isolated features
• Manage delivery risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs
• Keep leadership, GTM, engineering, data, and QA aligned

Hands-On Technical Leadership:

• Review architecture, data flows, APIs, PRs, and design tradeoffs
• Debug complex frontend/backend/data/integration issues
• Personally prototype, script, or code to unblock delivery
• Improve CI/CD, observability, security, performance, and test discipline
• Coach developers toward stronger engineering practices

User + Quality Ownership

• Challenge weak UX and broken flows
• Validate releases against real parent/school workflows
• Drive regression, integration, and journey testing
• Track production defects, root causes, and release health

AI-First Delivery

• Use AI tools for backlog, prototyping, coding, QA, docs, and analytics
• Automate repetitive delivery bottlenecks
• Push rapid velocity while protecting quality and maintainability
• Establish responsible AI engineering practices

Required Profile:

• 8+ years across software engineering, product engineering, technical delivery, or engineering leadership
• Recent hands-on coding/debugging ability across modern web platforms, APIs, databases, and cloud deployments
• Strong full-stack understanding; preferred exposure to React/Next.js, Node/Python, PostgreSQL/Supabase/Firebase, AWS/Azure/Vercel, CI/CD, GitHub, Linear (or similar tools), GA4/PostHog, and AI coding tools
• Proven ability to lead developers, QA, and data teams while managing customer, GTM, product, and team-capacity pressures
• Extreme product quality consciousness, user empathy, ownership mindset, and calm execution under ambiguity

Success Measures:

• Faster, more predictable sprint execution with fewer production defects and fewer incomplete user journeys
• Critical technical blockers resolved quickly through hands-on leadership
• Improved automation across coding, testing, deployment, monitoring, and data/product workflows
• A stronger Kochi delivery engine that can move fast, maintain quality, and support GTM priorities sustainably
