The Role

We are looking for an elite engineer who builds like a hacker and communicates like a consultant. You will not just be building models in a notebook; you will be deployed to the front lines to build, architect, and ship end-to-end Agentic AI products directly for our most strategic customers.

This is a high-stakes role. You will face "tricky" customers who have vague requirements and high expectations. Your job is to translate their chaos into technical order, write production-grade code, and deploy autonomous agents that solve their actual business problems.

What You Will Do

• Build & Deploy (60%):

Design and ship full-stack AI applications. You own the pipeline from data ingestion to the LLM inference layer to the frontend interface.

Architect autonomous agentic workflows (using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or custom implementations) that can reason, plan, and execute complex tasks.

Write robust, clean, and highly testable code (Python/Typescript). "It works on my machine" is not acceptable; it must work in the customer's restricted cloud environment.

Handle DevOps and MLOps constraints: Dockerizing agents, managing Kubernetes clusters, and optimizing inference latency.

• Customer Engineering (40%):

Serve as the technical face of the company for our most demanding accounts.

Navigate complex stakeholder environments. You will push back on unrealistic demands, clarify ambiguous requirements, and steer "tricky" customers toward technically feasible solutions without breaking rapport.

Translate technical constraints into business value for non-technical executives.

Generate high-quality data for our customers and ability to review the data generated by other experts. This is one of the most critical aspects of the role.

The "Must-Haves"

• Experience: 8–12 years of total engineering experience. You started as a strong Software Engineer and evolved into an AI specialist.
• Education: B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Math, or Physics from a top-tier institution (IIT, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, CMU, or similar global top-ranking universities).
• Deep AI Fluency: You aren't just calling APIs. You understand RAG implementation nuances, vector database optimization, fine-tuning (LoRA/PEFT), and the architecture of agentic loops.
• Production Engineering: Experience with end-to-end deployment (AWS/GCP/Azure, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, Docker).

The "Why You" (Soft Skills)

• Thick Skin & High EQ: You don't get flustered when a customer changes their mind for the third time in a week. You can hold your ground with a CTO and explain "why not" to a CEO.
• Extreme Attention to Detail: You catch the edge cases that others miss. You obsess over error handling, retry logic in agents, and data privacy.
• Grit: You enjoy the "messy" work of integrating legacy enterprise data just as much as prompting the latest model.

What will set you apart

• Public Code: A visible GitHub footprint is very helpful. We want to see your side projects, your contributions to open source, or your experiments with LLMs. Please include your GitHub link in your application.

Tech Stack

• Languages: Python (Expert).
• AI/Data (Expertise in all is not required): PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone/Weaviate, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, HuggingFace.
• Infra (Expertise in all is not required): Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/GCP.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to own the cross-team delivery machinery for a 20-person AI native engineering organization. This is not a project coordination role — it is a technical program ownership role.  You will maintain the master delivery plan across two Scrum teams and shared resources, track and resolve  
cross-team dependencies (platform teams, ARC backend, OEM integrations), manage risk before it becomes a miss, and create the delivery transparency that allows Engineering, Product, and Executive leadership to make fast, informed decisions. The best TPMs are invisible when things go well and indispensable when they don't. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Own the master delivery plan: maintain the integrated roadmap across both Scrum teams, shared resources (Architect, ML, SDET), and external platform dependencies — with milestone-level clarity at all times.  
• Track and resolve cross-team dependencies: Agentic Engine, Core Platform (Temporal, MCP Gateway, Component Framework), ARC backend (Kafka event contracts, API dependencies), Design (component specs), and external vendors (email/SMS providers).  
• Run the delivery rhythm: sprint review calendar, cross-team sync cadence, dependency review meetings, and risk escalation forums — keeping the Director and VP Engineering informed without burying them in status updates.  
• Identify, quantify, and manage delivery risks: surface blockers early, drive resolution with urgency, and maintain a live risk register with mitigation owners and timelines.  
• Own cross-team technical communication: translate engineering status into language that Product, Business, and Executive stakeholders can act on — and translate business urgency back into engineering trade-off decisions.  
• Drive the release process: define release criteria, coordinate go/no-go decisions with Engineering, QA (Staff SDET), and Product, and manage production deployments across services.  
• Manage the dependency interface to the T1 Agentic Engine team: track which Intent, Skill, Policy, and MCP tool registrations are ready, which are blocked, and what the critical path impact is.  
• Continuously improve the delivery system: identify bottlenecks in the engineering process, drive retrospectives, and implement changes that sustainably increase throughput and quality.

Skills & Qualifications 

• 12+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years at Staff level managing multi team programs at SaaS or platform companies.  
• Strong technical depth: able to read architecture diagrams, understand Kafka dependency graphs, evaluate API contract blockers, and participate credibly in engineering design discussions.  
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-team delivery programs with many external dependencies — including platform dependencies outside your direct control.  
• Expert facilitation of engineering delivery rituals: sprint planning, dependency reviews, release gates, post mortems, and architecture syncs.  
• Deep understanding of AI-native product delivery: what makes AI system delivery different from traditional software (eval requirements, model versioning, non-deterministic outputs, golden dataset dependencies).  
• Excellent written communication: can produce a crisp, executive-readable status update that tells the truth clearly and drives decisions.  
• Strong stakeholder management across Engineering, Product, Design, and Executive levels — comfortable managing up, across, and down.  

 
Good to Have  

• Experience managing delivery programs that involve both Java microservices and Python AI/ML engineering teams simultaneously.  
• Familiarity with agentic AI platform concepts: intent registries, MCP tools, skill/policy authoring, and eval frameworks — enough to track technical dependency status accurately.  
• Background in automotive retail technology or dealer management systems.  
• Prior experience working in a US-India distributed engineering organization.

Job Description

We are seeking a Staff SDET to own the quality architecture for our AI-native platform. This is not a test execution role — it is a quality engineering leadership role. You will design and own the test strategy across all layers of the hexagonal architecture (domain core, adapters, integration, end-to-end), establish quality gates for AI model outputs, build the golden dataset evaluation framework, and set the engineering bar for Senior SDETs and QA engineers on both Scrum teams. Nothing ships without your sign-off.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the complete quality architecture: define test strategies at each hexagonal layer — domain core unit tests, adapter integration tests (Testcontainers), service-to-service contract tests (Pact), and end-to-end scenario tests.

• Design and build the golden dataset evaluation framework: seed realistic multi-tenant dealer/customer data across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Elasticsearch, and Kafka, and define assertion criteria for scoring accuracy, suppression correctness, and attribution logic. 

• Establish AI quality gates: define evaluation criteria for ML model outputs (scoring, recommendations), LLM response quality, RAG retrieval accuracy (precision@k, recall), and agentic workflow correctness.

• Architect test infrastructure: Testcontainers configurations for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis/Aerospike — enabling fully local integration test runs.

• Own CI/CD quality pipeline: define what automated tests run at commit, PR, staging, and pre-release gates — with blocking quality thresholds.

• Define and track quality metrics: test coverage per hexagonal layer, defect leakage, flakiness rate, MTTR, and automation ROI.

• Lead root cause analysis for production escapes — own post-mortems and preventive measure implementation. 

• Mentor Senior SDETs and QA engineers across both teams; conduct design reviews for test frameworks and golden dataset designs.

• Influence backend and frontend engineers on testability: drive API design, logging, observability, and error handling that makes services intrinsically testable. 

Skills & Experience

• 8+ years of QA Engineering, Test Automation, or SDET experience with strong hands-on engineering depth.

• Deep expertise designing test strategies for hexagonal architecture: proven ability to test domain cores independently from adapters, and adapters independently from each other.

• Strong programming skills in Java (primary) and Python — able to write production-quality test frameworks, not just test scripts. 

• Expert-level Testcontainers experience across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis/Aerospike. 

• Experience with contract testing (Pact or similar) for service boundary validation and service virtualization.

• Deep Kafka testing expertise: consumer group behavior, event ordering guarantees, idempotency, and dead-letter queue validation.

• Experience designing golden dataset strategies: multi-tenant data seeding, realistic event sequences, and deterministic assertion design.

• Experience integrating quality gates into CI/CD pipelines with meaningful blocking thresholds.

• Strong understanding of AI/ML output validation: scoring correctness, RAG retrieval quality metrics, and agentic workflow eval design.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with performance, load, and chaos testing (Gatling, k6) against Kafka, Elasticsearch, and MongoDB at scale.

• Background in AI/ML quality engineering: eval frameworks (RAGAS or similar), model regression detection, and LLM safety testing.

• Prior experience owning quality for a platform serving multiple engineering teams (quality platform ownership).

• Familiarity with Cosmos DB testing patterns and eventual consistency validation strategies.
