The role demands strong hands-on technical depth, architectural judgment, and the ability to scale multiple teams while ensuring performance, reliability, and innovation at every stage of the software lifecycle. Key Responsibilities: Own the full engineering delivery lifecycle for one or more strategic platforms or products, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability. Build and lead multiple high-performing engineering teams (developers, DevOps, QA, and data engineers) with a focus on excellence, accountability, and speed. Define engineering standards, best practices, and governance processes that ensure quality, maintainability, and secure-by-design delivery. Partner with Product and Architecture teams to translate product vision and architectural blueprints into robust technical execution. Champion cloud-native, modular, and microservices-based architectures, driving standardization across platforms. Embed AI-first engineering practices, including AI-assisted coding, testing, and developer copilots, to enhance productivity and code quality. Establish frameworks for observability, monitoring, and performance optimization across all environments. Drive DevSecOps maturity through automation, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Kubernetes), and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform). Partner closely with the CTO office on engineering governance, release discipline, and technical talent development. Mentor and scale engineering talent, fostering a builder’s mindset and strong technical craftsmanship culture. Ensure cross-functional collaboration and transparent communication with stakeholders across product, design, and business. Key Requirements: 15–20 years of experience in software engineering and platform delivery, with at least 5–7 years in senior engineering leadership roles. Proven experience building and scaling SaaS-grade or enterprise cloud platforms at scale. Deep understanding of modern software architectures, distributed systems, APIs, and data integration patterns. Demonstrated expertise in engineering management, process automation, and agile product delivery. Strong hands-on familiarity with modern technology stacks (e.g., Python, Node.js, Java, React, Kubernetes, Azure/AWS). Exposure to AI/ML pipelines, intelligent automation, and agentic systems is a plus. Excellent stakeholder management skills and a track record of leading cross-functional delivery in complex, matrixed organizations. Strong communication, decision-making, and coaching skills with the ability to scale and mentor diverse engineering teams.
