Engineering Manager

Responsibilities:

• Own people management: end-to-end onboarding and 30-60-90 plans, offboarding, training and growth plans, KPI-setting and performance evaluation, and regular 1-on-1s for every engineer on the team.
• Own delivery and workflow execution: sprint/ticket discipline, priorities, and predictable shipping across the web trading terminal, the website/product monorepo, the mobile app, and QA.
• Build the engineering process from scratch: code review discipline, TypeScript and coding standards, onboarding/architecture documentation, and a mandatory verification standard for AI-assisted code before it ships.
• Manage cross-team dependencies, API contracts, SDK branch/release discipline, and communication with the backend/Core Platform team so client work never stalls on avoidable misses.
• Hire and grow the team, run the interview loop for open client engineering positions, and scale the team from ~6 toward 10+, including remote international members alongside the Chennai core.
• Stay technical (~30-50%): review code credibly across a canvas-driven real-time React terminal, a modern React monorepo, and a React Native app; make architecture calls with the ICs; unblock hard problems yourself when needed.

Requirements:

• 3-5+ years of engineering management of a team of 8+ engineers, with full people-management ownership; you've personally run onboarding, performance reviews, promotions, hiring, and exits, ideally through a scaling phase.
• 8-12+ years total in software engineering; with a strong React/TypeScript background, you can review a complex frontend PR credibly, and the team respects your technical judgement.
• Shipped complex, data-dense, or real-time products; you know what fast and correct live data takes in any domain.
• Built engineering process from scratch: onboarding documentation, performance frameworks, code standards, and review discipline, not just operated processes someone else built.
• Player-coach by preference: you want to stay technical, not escape into pure management.
• In-person in our Chennai office.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Trading, fintech, brokerage, or market-data domain: a strong plus; you'd ramp on our product in weeks, not quarters.
• React Native/mobile delivery, including app-store release management.
• QA/test-automation ownership: you've managed or built a QA function, not just worked alongside one.
• Canvas/WebGL/WebSocket-heavy UIs: the terminal is a sophisticated real-time rendering surface.
• Managing distributed / international teams across time zones.
• Monorepo tooling (Nx) at scale.
