ABOUT THIS MANDATE :
Recruiting Bond has been exclusively retained by one of India's most prominent and well-established digital platform organisations operating at the intersection of Technology, Information, and Media to identify and place an exceptional Engineering Manager who can lead engineering teams through an enterprise-wide AI adoption and digital transformation agenda.
This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role at the nexus of people, product, and technology. The organisation is executing one of the most ambitious AI transformation programmes in its sector and this Engineering Manager will be a core driver of that change. You will lead multiple squads, own engineering delivery end-to-end, embed AI tooling and practices into the team's DNA, and shape the engineering culture of tomorrow.
We are seeking leaders who code when it matters, who build systems and teams with equal conviction, and who view AI not as a trend but as a fundamental shift in how great software is built.
THE OPPORTUNITY AT A GLANCE :
AI-First Engineering Culture :
- Own AI adoption across your squads - from LLM tooling integration to automation-first delivery workflows. Make AI a default, not an afterthought.
Hands-On Engineering Leadership :
- Stay close to the code. Lead architecture reviews, unblock engineers, and set the technical bar - not just the management agenda.

- Identify and resolve systemic technical debt and architectural risks across team-owned services
- Unblock engineers by diving into complex problems debugging, pair programming, and system analysis when it matters
- Own key technical decisions in collaboration with Tech Leads and Principal Engineers; balance pragmatism with long-term sustainability
2. AI Adoption, Integration & Transformation (2026 Mandate) :
- Define and execute the team's AI adoption roadmap - from developer tooling to product-facing AI features
- Champion the integration of GenAI tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) across the full engineering workflow coding, testing, documentation, incident response
- Embed LLM-powered capabilities into the product : recommendation engines, intelligent search, conversational interfaces, content generation, and predictive systems
- Lead evaluation and adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices : automated code review, AI-generated test suites, intelligent observability, and anomaly detection
- Partner with Data Science and ML Platform teams to productionise ML models with robust MLOps pipelines
- Build team literacy in prompt engineering, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and AI agent frameworks
- Create an experimentation culture : run structured AI pilots, measure productivity impact, and scale what works
- Stay ahead of the AI tooling landscape and advise senior leadership on strategic AI investments and engineering implications
3. People Leadership & Team Development :
- Lead, manage, and grow squads of 6 - 15 engineers across seniority levels (L2 through L6 / Junior through Staff)
- Conduct structured 1 : 1s, career growth conversations, and development planning with every direct report
- Design and execute personalised AI upskilling programmes ensure every engineer develops practical AI fluency by end of 2026
- Build and maintain a high-performance team culture : clarity of ownership, accountability, fast feedback loops, and psychological safety

- Implement and refine agile delivery frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, Shape Up) calibrated to squad needs and product cadence
- Drive predictable delivery : maintain healthy sprint velocity, manage WIP limits, and ensure dependency resolution across teams.
- Establish and own engineering KPIs : DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate), uptime SLOs, and velocity trends
- Lead incident management : build blameless post-mortem culture, own RCA processes, and drive systemic reliability improvements
- Balance technical debt repayment with feature velocity negotiate prioritisation transparently with Product leadership
5. Strategic Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence :
- Serve as the primary engineering partner for Product, Design, Data, and Business stakeholders translate ambiguity into executable engineering plans
- Participate in quarterly roadmap planning, capacity forecasting, and OKR definition for engineering teams
- Represent engineering in leadership forums articulate technical constraints, risks, and opportunities in business terms

- Sees AI as a force multiplier for the team, not a threat. Actively experiments with and advocates for AI tooling
- Measures success by team outcomes, not personal output. Takes pride in what the team ships, not what they build alone
- Creates feedback loops obsessively between product and engineering, between seniors and juniors, between metrics and decisions
- Has strong opinions, loosely held, brings conviction to discussions but updates on evidence
- Invests in engineering excellence as seriously as delivery velocity knows that quality and speed are not opposites

AI Transformation at Scale :
- Lead one of the most significant AI adoption programmes in India's digital media sector.
- Our decisions will shape how hundreds of engineers work in 2026 and beyond.
Hands-On & Strategic Balance :
- A rare EM role that actively encourages technical depth.
- Stay close to the code while owning the people agenda - the best of both worlds.
Established Platform, Real Scale :
- 5001,000 engineers, proven product-market fit, and the org maturity to execute.
- This is not a greenfield startup gamble it is a serious company with serious ambition.
Clear Leadership Growth Path :
- A visible, direct path toward Director / VP of Engineering.
- Senior leadership is invested in growing its next generation of technology executives.
