Key Responsibilities
We're hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager in Bengaluru to lead a team that owns production software end to end — from what customers need, to how it's built, to how it runs. This is not a coordination role: you will still design systems, review code and get into incidents, while growing the people around you.
Our India engineering team is taking full ownership of core products and growing quickly, including a ground-up rebuild of a customer-critical service. Y ou'll help shape how this team works, who joins it, and what it ships. Y ou'll report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with Product, Program Management, Customer Support and business stakeholders.
A team and its outcomes. Lead a team of engineers (growing as we hire) and own what it delivers — measured by what changed for customers, not by tickets closed.
Hiring. Help build the team: define what good looks like, interview, and close candidates.
Quality as a first-class priority. Set the bar for testing, release and on-call so the team ships often without breaking customers.
Technical direction. Make and document the architecture tradeoffs for your area, and stay close enough to the code to know when a design is wrong.
People growth. Run 1:1s, give direct feedback, and create stretch paths so strong engineers grow faster than a standard promotion cycle.
Own: Own it end to end with Speed, quality, depth and long term vision.
Requirements
Whatever the role, we hire for six things. For a manager, each one also shows up in the team you build.
Customer obsession. Y ou know who uses what your team builds and what changed for them. Y ou treat support escalations and on-call as signal, not chores.
Impact over activity. Y ou measure success by outcomes, not sprints delivered or meetings run. Y ou'll choose the boring solution if it ships sooner.
Honesty. You give credit to your team and are specific about your own part. You tell leadership bad news early, and you say what didn't work.
Independence. Y ou don't need a roadmap handed to you. Y ou find the problem worth solving and get it done with little hand-holding — and you build a team that works the same way. Y ou will work with leaders who will partner with you in the journey.
Passion. Not the word on a resume — the evidence: something you kept going back to, a craft you kept deepening, people you kept teaching.
Depth. At least one system or domain you could talk about for an hour, down to the internals and the tradeoffs. Y ears in a role aren't depth; complexity handled is.
