Job Description
We are looking for an enthusiastic Engineering Manager to work at the forefront of our cloud modernization initiatives, leading high‑impact engineering teams building secure, reliable, and scalable cloud‑native services.
Our engineering ecosystem spans modern backend services using Python (FastAPI/Pydantic), frontend applications using TypeScript (React/Koa), and a deeply integrated AWS platform.
We build with a forward‑looking mindset, leveraging emerging frameworks and tools to continuously elevate our engineering standards.
Our architecture is built on AWS using ECS, Lambda, API Gateway and ALB, driving highly scalable service deployments. We also leverage a broad set of AWS capabilities including DynamoDB, Aurora PostgreSQL, S3, SNS/SQS, and event‑driven integrations to deliver resilient, observable, and performant distributed systems. We place strong emphasis on quality, automation, reliability, and documentation—supported by robust CI/CD pipelines, GitHub‑based workflows, automated testing, and proactive operational practices around observability, incident response, and security tooling.
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead and grow a cross‑functional engineering team, coach engineers, set technical direction, and partner with Product, Design, and Platform teams to deliver meaningful customer and business outcomes.
- You will be #LI-hybrid based in Hyderabad and report to the Director of Engineering.

- Take ownership of end‑to‑end technical architecture, including API standards (OpenAPI), data models (Aurora PostgreSQL/DynamoDB), messaging patterns (SNS/SQS), and AWS platform usage (ECS/Lambda/API Gateway/ALB).
- Champion engineering best practices: clean architecture, design patterns, maintainability, test automation, CI/CD, and DevSecOps principles.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, QA, Security, and cross‑functional partner teams to ensure successful delivery and long-term roadmap alignment.
- Drive operational excellence: monitoring, incident response, on‑call practices, post‑mortems, cost optimization, and continuous reliability improvements.
- Manage risks, dependencies, and blockers; anticipate challenges and establish mitigation strategies.
- Ensure high‑quality engineering documentation for architecture, processes, APIs, and knowledge‑sharing resources.
- Partner with Product Management to define OKRs, roadmap priorities, and delivery timelines.
