Engineering Manager

Job Title: Engineering Manager
Employment Type: Full - Time Department: Tech Your Role in the Bigger Picture: As an Engineering Manager you will directly lead our entire engineering function across web, mobile, and backend teams. This is not a role for people who just manage resources-its for someone who obsesses over delivery hygiene, team accountability, technical depth, and cross-team velocity. Youll work closely with the Founder to set the culture, cadence, and standards for engineering excellence. Drive delivery metrics - velocity, code quality, tech debt management, release cadences, and rollout stability. Review and continuously improve internal processes to ensure consistent client satisfaction and engineering throughput. Bring clarity in chaos by implementing lean but effective processes for sprint planning, QA, and release management. Build and scale a high-performance engineering culture rooted in ownership, trust, and rapid delivery. Coach leads to drive deep accountability, proactive problem-solving, and cross-functional thinking. Help retain top talent while identifying leadership potential within the team. Ensure architectural alignment and quality across multiple teams and platforms. Make sound decisions in choosing between building from scratch vs reusing existing solutions. Be hands-on when needed-while this is not an IC role, strong tech judgment is non-negotiable. Job Location : Bengaluru Years of Experience: 10+ Years What We are Looking for in You 1.
