Engineering Manager

Role Overview -

You will be responsible for owning the end-to-end delivery of strategic technology programs spanning Full Stack, Cloud, Data, and AI-powered platforms—with a relentless focus on quality, predictability, business outcomes, and stakeholder satisfaction. This role requires a blend of technical depth, leadership excellence, and strategic execution to scale delivery capabilities and enable innovation at enterprise level.

Key Responsibilities -

• End-to-End Delivery Ownership: Lead the full lifecycle of complex engineering programs—from planning and scoping to execution, delivery, and post-launch support—ensuring alignment with business goals and SLAs.
• Team Leadership: Build, mentor, and scale high-performing, cross-functional engineering teams (Full Stack, Cloud, Data, AI/ML, DevOps) across distributed geographies.
• Predictable & High-Quality Delivery: Drive on-time, on-budget, and defect-minimized delivery through disciplined execution, agile frameworks, and continuous improvement.
• Stakeholder & Governance Management: Act as the primary point of contact for business, product, and technical stakeholders; manage expectations, escalate risks proactively, and ensure robust delivery governance.
• Risk & Issue Mitigation: Identify, assess, and mitigate delivery risks (technical, resource, timeline, compliance) with data-driven decision-making and contingency planning.
• Modern Engineering Enablement: Champion adoption of modern practices—CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), cloud-native architectures (AWS/Azure), AI/ML integration, and observability.
• Innovation & Scalability:
  
  Partner with R&D and product teams to incubate and scale AI-enabled platforms and data-driven solutions that drive measurable business value.
• Performance & Metrics: Define and track KPIs (SLA adherence, defect density, release velocity, team health) to drive continuous improvement and transparency.

What Were Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in engineering delivery, with at least 5 years leading large-scale, multi-team technology programs.
• Proven track record in delivering complex, full-stack, cloud, data, and AI-powered solutions in enterprise environments.
• Deep hands-on understanding of Agile, Scrum, SAFe, or hybrid delivery frameworks, with experience managing distributed teams.
• Strong expertise in cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
• Exposure to AI/ML platforms, generative AI, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation—with ability to lead AI-powered product delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to manage stakeholder expectations, lead executive-level discussions, and influence without direct authority.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and conflict-resolution skills with a bias for action and ownership.
• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP, SAFe Agilist, or AWS/Azure certification preferred.
• Experience in BFSI, High-Tech, Supply Chain, or Market Research domains is a plus.
• Experience working with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar tooling for delivery tracking and governance.
• Familiarity with security compliance standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2) in delivery environments.
