About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead the development of the Forge Operations Center (FOC) - Honeywell's Executive Insights and Decisions Platform. This is a player-coach role at the intersection of engineering excellence and platform vision, where you will build the technical foundation that transforms FOC from an insights platform into a prescriptive, autonomous operational intelligence system.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

• Design and build scalable, high-availability, low-latency applications powering executive-grade operational intelligence
• Drive platform evolution toward prescriptive and autonomous decision intelligence capabilities
• Build production-grade integrations across distributed data sources enabling real-time analytics and recommendations
• Lead, coach, and mentor early-career engineers - setting the bar for code quality, testing, and architecture
• Establish and enforce engineering standards across the team (code reviews, CI/CD, design reviews)
• Partner with SRE and platform teams on reliability, observability, and operational readiness
• Translate complex product requirements into elegant, scalable technical solutions
• Communicate architecture decisions and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Design systems with future AI and agentic automation capabilities in mind

Qualifications

What You'll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, including hands-on engineering and team leadership
• Strong proficiency in Python with working knowledge of Django and Celery for building robust, async-capable backend systems
• Experience with modern frontends using React JS
• Solid foundation in cloud-native development (containerization, microservices, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines)
• Proven ability to architect high-availability, low-latency distributed systems
• Track record of mentoring and growing junior engineers
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and business audiences
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field

Nice to Have

• Experience with Agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar)
• Familiarity with AI/ML systems integration and LLM-powered workflows
• Background in industrial, IoT, or SRE-adjacent domains
