About the Company
As the world moves toward AI-native applications, one element matters more than anything: data.
We are building a platform that helps organizations unlock the value hidden within customer feedback. By centralizing data from multiple sources—including CRM platforms, support systems, collaboration tools, surveys, community forums, and customer conversations—into a unified intelligence layer, we enable teams to understand customer needs and make better product decisions.
Built on top of this foundation is an AI-powered platform that allows teams to query, monitor, and act on customer intelligence directly within their workflows. Our customers include some of the fastest-growing product-led technology companies as well as large global enterprises.
Backed by leading global venture capital firms, our engineering culture is AI-native from the ground up. Agents, LLMs, and applied machine learning are not side projects—they are central to how we build products. We operate at the cutting edge of agentic systems and continuously push the boundaries of what modern AI applications can achieve.
What You Will Do
- Convert product direction into phased technical plans, including estimates, milestones, dependencies, and risk assessments.
- Make thoughtful trade-offs across correctness, latency, user experience, AI/model behavior, reliability, cost, and delivery speed.
- Define clear ownership boundaries across frontend applications, BFF layers, backend services, agent workflows, ML platforms, and data contracts.
- Review ERDs, PRDs, design documents, and implementation plans to identify gaps before they become execution challenges.
- Drive planning and execution for complex initiatives while empowering area leads and senior engineers to maintain ownership.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and GTM teams to turn ambiguous problem statements into executable solutions.
- Influence technical direction through strong engineering judgment, architectural leadership, and hands-on involvement.
- Mentor senior engineers and contribute to engineering excellence through reviews, incident analysis, and proactive risk management.
What It Takes
- 5+ years of experience as a Senior Engineer, Technical Lead, or equivalent role.
- Demonstrated experience owning architecture and execution for large-scale product or platform initiatives spanning multiple teams.
- Strong foundation in distributed systems and modern software architecture.
- Exposure to agentic AI systems, machine learning engineering, MLOps platforms, and frontend/BFF architectures.
- Ability to own end-to-end product and technical problems rather than specializing exclusively in a single layer of the stack.
- Proven track record of converting ambiguity into actionable engineering plans.
- Excellent written communication skills, including design documentation, architectural reviews, trade-off analyses, and RCA documentation.
- Ability to challenge requirements constructively and collaborate effectively across Product, Design, Engineering, and GTM functions.
- High ownership mindset, attention to detail, and a low-ego, collaborative approach.

About BuildTwin
BuildTwin is a multi-tenant SaaS platform that runs the day-to-day operations of construction
and infrastructure companies — their workforce, projects, commercials, and documents — on a
single system. Alongside it we build an AI drawing-automation platform that turns structured
element data into production-ready technical drawings and exports them to PDF and DXF.
Both products are built by a small, senior engineering group in India: backend engineers on an
AWS serverless platform, frontend engineers on Angular and React, and AI engineers working
on drawing generation and data extraction. Sitting next to them — not in another building, not
in another timezone — are the structural and detailing engineers who define what a correct
drawing actually is.
That adjacency is our biggest advantage and our hardest coordination problem. This role exists
to make it work.
Role overview
We are hiring one Technical Project Manager to own delivery across our engineering teams in
Bengaluru. You will run 15–25 engineers across backend, frontend, and AI workstreams, and
you will be the person who turns requirements originating with our structural and detailing
engineers into scoped, sequenced, shipped software.
This is a technical role. You will not be handed a groomed backlog and asked to move cards
across it. You will sit in the design discussion and have a view on how and when — you will
push back on an approach that will not scale, ask why a trade-off was made, and know the
difference between a two-day change and a two-sprint one. You are not expected to write
production code. You are expected to read it, understand the system, and never be the least
informed person in a technical conversation you are chairing.
The centre of gravity of this job is the floor, not the calendar. Most of your day is
spent with the people building and the people specifying — closing the gap between what a
domain expert means and what an engineer can implement deterministically. Status
reporting is a by-product of doing that well, not the job itself.
What you’ll own.
Delivery ownership
Own the end-to-end delivery plan for every active workstream — scope, sequence,
dependencies, capacity, and dates that actually hold.
Break large, ambiguous product intent into engineering-sized increments with explicit
acceptance criteria, agreed with the people who will build them.
Run the operating cadence: planning, standups, refinement, demos, and retrospectives that
change something the following week.
Maintain one honest view of status — on track, at risk, slipped, and why — visible to the
founders and to the team at the same time.
Manage cross-team dependencies between backend, frontend, AI, and drawing-automation
workstreams so no team idles waiting on another.
Surface risk early, quantify it, and arrive with options — never an escalation without a
proposal.
Protect the team from thrash: absorb changing priorities, re-plan properly, and say no or not
now when a plan cannot take more.
Drive releases to genuinely done — QA, UAT with domain experts, documentation, and post
release verification included.
Own and improve the delivery metrics that matter: cycle time, predictability of committed
scope, defect escape rate, and rework.
Run the release calendar across two products so neither becomes the permanent second
priority.
Technical partnership
Participate substantively in technical discussions on design, sequencing, and trade-offs —
and hold your own with senior engineers.
Understand the architecture well enough to reason about blast radius: what a schema
change touches, why a migration is risky, why an API contract must be agreed before two
teams start.
Challenge estimates that look wrong in either direction, and recognise when an estimate is
uncertain because the problem is still unclear.
Translate technical constraints into decisions leadership can act on, and business constraints
into direction engineers can act on.
Keep testing, observability, and debt-reduction work on the plan instead of losing to features
every single quarter.
Insist that decisions get written down — architecture choices, drawing rules, API contracts,
and the reasoning behind each.
Stay close to the artefacts: read the tickets, the design docs, the PR titles, and the incident
write-ups.
Chair technical discussions where the outcome is a decision with an owner and a date, not a
longer discussion.
Roles & Responsibilities
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.
You’ll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core—owning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.
Technical & Product Ownership
- Build and evolve core platform features
- Design and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.
- Model complex financial workflows
- Work deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelines—where small decisions have long-term consequences.
- Make architectural trade-offs
- Balance “ship it now” against “live with it forever” while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.
- Stay technically fluent
- You won’t write code every day, but you’ll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.
Team Leadership & Management
- Lead and grow the engineering team
- Mentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.
- Create high-output systems
- Establish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to think—not just ship.
- Debug team dynamics like software
- Observe signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomes—whether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.
- Build the team intentionally
- Design interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching. At this stage, every hire shifts the average.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Product, Finance, and Customer Success to translate real-world contract terms into correct, scalable systems
- Partner with stakeholders to solve ambiguous problems where requirements evolve and trade-offs are unavoidable
- Ensure systems remain accurate, auditable, and compliant as the product scales
