Location: India (Pune / Hybrid) Type: Full-time

Reports To: VP Engineering

The Role

This is a pivotal leadership role for someone who started their career as an engineer and has grown into an inspiring, delivery-focused leader. You will build, grow, and lead our India engineering team from the ground up — hiring great people, establishing strong engineering culture, and ensuring the India team operates as a fully integrated, high-performing part of our global engineering organisation.

You won't just manage people. You'll shape how we build software — driving engineering process, operational excellence, and technical decision-making across the organisation. If you're energised by the challenge of scaling teams, shipping great product, and raising the engineering bar, this role was made for you.

Responsibilities

Team Building & Leadership

Build and scale a high-performing engineering team in India, owning the full hiring lifecycle from sourcing to onboarding.

Lead, mentor, and develop engineering managers and senior engineers, creating clear career growth pathways.

Foster a strong engineering culture rooted in ownership, collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement.

Act as a visible and trusted leader within the India organisation, representing engineering at a senior level locally.

Global Engineering Integration

Ensure the India team operates as a seamlessly integrated part of the global engineering organisation — not an offshore unit, but a core team with full ownership of product areas.

Partner closely with engineering leadership across other geographies to align on roadmap priorities, team structure, and ways of working.

Establish communication rhythms, collaboration practices, and tooling that bridge time zones effectively.

Champion a "one team" culture across all engineering locations.

Engineering Process & Operational Excellence

Own and continuously improve engineering processes across the SDLC — from planning and sprint execution through to deployment and incident management.

Drive adoption of engineering best practices: code review standards, testing strategy, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes.

Define and track meaningful engineering metrics (velocity, quality, deployment frequency, lead time) and use them to drive improvement.

Lead operational readiness, on-call practices, and engineering response to production incidents.

Technical Leadership & Decision-Making

Provide technical direction and governance, ensuring architectural decisions are sound, scalable, and aligned with the broader platform strategy.
