AI Engineering Manager (AI-First Software Development) IRC292119

Description

Delivery

Role Overview

We are looking for an AI Engineering Lead who is obsessed with reimagining how software is built in the age of AI.

This is not a traditional engineering role. You will challenge the status quo, replace legacy development practices, and lead the transition from SDLC → AI-led CDLC (Continuous Development Lifecycle).

You will work hands-on, influence senior engineers and architects, and build AI-powered systems that dramatically accelerate delivery, quality, and innovation.

What You Will Do

• Build AI-Native Applications

  • Design and develop AI-first applications using LLMs, agents, and modern AI stacks
  • Architect systems leveraging tools like: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar coding agents
  • Own end-to-end delivery: idea → prototype → production

• Lead AI Adoption Across Teams

  • Drive AI adoption across architects, senior engineers, and delivery teams
  • Introduce best practices for:
    • Prompt engineering
    • AI-assisted development workflows
    • Code generation, testing, and debugging via AI

• Transform SDLC → AI-led CDLC

  • Challenge conventional development processes
  • Redesign workflows to incorporate:
    • AI pair programming
    • Automated code reviews
    • AI-driven testing and documentation
  • Define and implement a Continuous Development Lifecycle (CDLC)

• Be a Hands-On Leader

  • Write code, build prototypes, and experiment constantly
  • Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and agents rapidly
  • Set engineering benchmarks through execution, not just direction

• Build a Culture of AI-First Thinking

  • Inspire teams to rethink how software is built
  • Mentor engineers to become AI-augmented developers
  • Drive mindset shift: from effort-driven → outcome-driven engineering

What We Are Looking For

Must-Have Skills

• Proven hands-on experience building AI-led applications
• Deep familiarity with:
  • LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models)
  • Coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)
• Strong understanding of:
  • System design
  • APIs, backend services, and modern architectures
• Experience integrating AI into real‑world engineering workflows

Behavioral Traits (Non-Negotiable)

• Self-motivated – does not wait for instructions
• Builder mindset – learns by doing
• Challenges authority & legacy thinking (constructively)
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and fast‑changing environments
• Passionate about changing how software is built, not just maintaining it

Good to Have

• Experience driving AI adoption at team/org level
• Exposure to DevOps, CI/CD, and automation pipelines
• Familiarity with evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and AI safety

Experience Requirement

Irrelevant.
We care about what you can build, not how long you’ve worked.

Work Model

• Based in Delhi NCR
• Willing to work from Noida office 3–4 days/week
• No drama, no excuses — we value ownership and commitment

What Success Looks Like (6 Months)

• Teams actively using AI in daily development workflows
• Measurable improvement in:
  • Development speed
  • Code quality
  • Deployment frequency
• A functioning AI-led CDLC model in production

Why Join Us

• Opportunity to redefine software engineering practices
• Work with a team that values builders over talkers
• High ownership, zero bureaucracy
• Be at the forefront of AI-native Engineering transformation
