· Define engineering standards and resolve complex cross-team technical risks.
· Remain technically hands-on through architecture reviews, critical code reviews and incident debugging.
2. People and Delivery Management
· Lead, mentor and develop engineering teams with clear goals and accountability.
· Own estimation, capacity, execution, dependencies, risks, releases and delivery recovery plans.
· Conduct regular one-to-ones, performance reviews, coaching and skill-development planning.
· Work with Product, QA, DevOps and stakeholders to deliver measurable product outcomes.
3. AI Project Execution
· Assess AI use cases for feasibility, data readiness, risk, cost and measurable value.
· Lead delivery of LLM, RAG, agentic and AI-assisted product initiatives from PoC to production.
· Ensure evaluation, human validation, security, privacy, observability and rollback controls.
· Prevent isolated demos, uncontrolled AI usage and dependency on individual engineers or vendors.
Required Skills and Experience
· 10+ years in software engineering with significant technical and people leadership experience.
· Strong understanding of Python/FastAPI, React/Next.js, APIs, databases, cloud and distributed systems.
· Proven ownership of product delivery, project planning, risk management and production operations.
· Experience hiring, mentoring, evaluating and developing engineering teams.
· Strong knowledge and execution experience across AI/ML, LLM, RAG or agentic-AI projects.
· Practical understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, Agentic AI and responsible AI use relevant to the role.
· Ability to use approved AI tools productively while protecting source code, credentials, learner data and organisational information.
· Commitment to human review, testing, security validation and traceability for AI-assisted outputs.
Good-to-Have Experience
· EdTech or medical-learning product experience.
· AWS, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, MLOps or LLMOps.
· Experience scaling teams and platforms through major transformation.
How Success Will Be Measured
· Delivery becomes predictable with risks identified early.
· Engineering quality, security and production stability improve.
· AI projects progress from validated use cases to reliable production outcomes.
· Team capability, ownership, engagement and succession strength increase.
· Work consistently delivers measurable outcomes and business value—not merely completion of assigned tasks or activities.
Expected mindset: Own the outcome, use AI responsibly, communicate risks early and deliver secure, measurable value for DocTutorials and its learners.
