Job Description for Ai Technical Manager
Job Title
AI Technical Manager
Experience 12–14 Years
Location Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Work Mode Hybrid
Employment Type Full-Time
We are looking for an AI Technology Manager with 12–14 years of experience and strong hands‑on exposure to AI/ML-based software delivery. This individual will lead a team of engineers, work closely with onshore stakeholders, and drive delivery excellence across offshore teams building AI‑enabled products and platforms.
The ideal candidate is a hands‑on technical manager, an effective communicator, and a proactive go‑getter who takes ownership, drives clarity, and delivers results in a fast‑paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Guidance & AI-Based Delivery
- Provide technical direction to the team on AI/ML solutions, cloud‑native architectures, APIs, and modern SDLC practices.
- Lead end-to-end AI-based software delivery — covering design, development, integration, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
- Guide the team on adoption of AI capabilities (ML models, GenAI, RAG pipelines, intelligent automation) in engineering solutions where applicable.
- Oversee MLOps practices including CI/CD pipelines for ML models, model monitoring, and retraining workflows.
- Stay current with AI/ML tools and frameworks (LangChain, Hugging Face, vector databases) and recommend improvements to delivery quality and speed.
- Guide the team on designing and building AI Agents and Agentic AI workflows — including autonomous task execution, multi‑agent orchestration, tool‑use patterns, and human‑in‑the‑loop architectures.
- Guide the implementation of agentic frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom agent pipelines) for automating complex, multi‑step business processes.
- Ensure agentic solutions are built with appropriate guardrails — error handling, fallback strategies, observability, and safety controls for autonomous decision‑making.
- Lead and manage a cross‑functional engineering team of engineers delivering AI‑enabled and data‑driven solutions.
- Own delivery outcomes including planning, execution, risk management, quality, and timelines.
- Act as a bridge between onshore business/technology stakeholders and offshore delivery teams, ensuring alignment, transparency, and execution.
- Translate business requirements into clear technical designs and execution plans.
- Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks; escalation with solutions, not just problems.
- Review architecture, code quality, and engineering best practices; ensure scalable and maintainable solutions.
- Guide the team on cloud‑native architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), microservices, APIs, and event‑driven systems.
- Ensure observability and monitoring for ML systems in production — model performance, latency, and data quality.
- Highly proactive and execution‑driven; takes ownership and pushes work forward without waiting for direction.
- Comfortable challenging the status quo constructively and driving decisions.
- Collaborative, transparent, and solution‑oriented.
Required Qualifications
- 12–14 years of overall engineering experience, with 4–6 years in an Engineering Manager / Technical Manager role.
- Strong hands‑on background in software engineering with exposure to Python, AI/ML, or data engineering.
- Experience working in a global onshore‑offshore delivery model.
- Solid understanding of Python and AI/ML concepts.
- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (preferably AWS/Azure) and modern application architectures (microservices, APIs, event‑driven systems).
- Working knowledge of GenAI/LLM concepts (RAG, prompt engineering, fine‑tuning, vector databases), AI Agents and agentic architecture patterns (multi‑agent systems, tool‑use, orchestration), and MLOps tooling (MLflow, SageMaker, or equivalent).
- Excellent communication skills — able to clearly articulate technical and delivery topics to business and leadership audiences.
- Strong execution mindset with the ability to drive outcomes independently.
- Proven experience handling ambiguity, competing priorities, and fast‑moving programs.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience delivering AI/ML or GenAI solutions in enterprise environments.
- Hands‑on experience with LLM frameworks (OpenAI API, Hugging Face, LangChain) and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS).
- Familiarity with model governance, responsible AI practices, and compliance frameworks.
- Experience with agentic AI frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom agent pipelines) and designing autonomous multi‑step workflows with appropriate safety and observability controls.
- Healthcare domain exposure is an added advantage.
