Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage cross‑functional engineering teams delivering AI‑enabled and data‑driven solutions.
• Act as a bridge between onshore business/technology stakeholders and offshore delivery teams, ensuring alignment, transparency, and execution.

• Lead end‑to‑end AI based software delivery, covering design, development, integration, deployment, and ongoing optimization of AI‑enabled solutions.
• Own delivery outcomes including planning, execution, risk management, quality, and timelines.
• Translate business requirements into clear technical designs and execution plans.
• Review architecture, code quality, and engineering best practices; ensure scalable and maintainable solutions.
• Drive adoption of AI capabilities (e.g., ML models, GenAI, intelligent automation) in engineering solutions where applicable.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks; escalate with solutions, not just problems.
• Mentor and grow engineers and leads; foster a high‑ownership, high‑performance culture.
• Collaborate with Product, Architecture, QA, and DevOps teams to ensure end‑to‑end delivery.

Leadership & Behavioural Expectations

• Highly proactive and execution‑driven; takes ownership and pushes work forward without waiting for direction.

• Strong hands‑on background in software engineering, with exposure to AI/ML, or data engineering.
• Experience working in a global onshore-offshore delivery model.
• Solid understanding of:
  • AI/ML concepts (model lifecycle, data pipelines, inference, governance – hands‑on not mandatory but must be conversant)
  • Cloud platforms (Preferably AWS)
  • Modern application architectures (microservices, APIs, event‑driven systems)
• 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.
• Must be 18 years of age or older
