The role

We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager for AI Business Features - the team that turns business and product hypotheses into production AI features.

  • Lead the team across hiring, planning, task decomposition, process improvements, and cross-team collaboration
  • Own and drive the development of an AI-powered products from concept to production
  • Ensure strong team performance and reliable, on-time delivery aligned with product and business goals
  • Partner closely with Product, Data, and AI teams to build impactful, user-centric solutions
  • Tackle complex technical and product challenges while maintaining high engineering quality standards
  • Shape the architecture, design, and implementation of scalable backend services and integrations
