About this role
Job Description
QAD | Redzone is seeking a technically strong Engineering Manager to lead our AI & Agentic Platform team. You will be responsible for building and scaling a production-grade AI platform for Manufacturing, combining strong people leadership with deep software engineering and AI expertise. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of modern cloud architecture, agentic AI systems, and industrial software.
WHAT YOULL DO
- Define technical priorities for the engineering team and collaborate cross-functionally with Product and other engineering teams.
- Coach, mentor, and develop software and AI engineers to support their professional growth.
- Manage a small, focused team - including engineers more specialized than you in specific AI domains.
- Challenge architecture and design decisions without becoming a bottleneck; uphold high standards for code quality, security, and reliability.
- Balance innovation, delivery speed, and production-grade quality when building and scaling platform services.
- Lead technical decisions spanning AI, backend, frontend, data, and cloud infrastructure.
- Drive the design and deployment of robust software using modern cloud, container, and microservices architectures.
- Oversee integration of Agentic AI elements - agent orchestration, RAG, tool calling, and workflows.
- Implement standards for AI governance, evaluation, and agent observability.
Qualifications
MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- Total Experience of around 10+ years with 5+ years managing or technically leading a small engineering team.
- Strong software engineering and architecture background (ideally from a Senior / Principal / Tech Lead trajectory).
- Solid understanding of AI/LLM technologies - RAG, agent orchestration, tool calling, and workflows.
- Hands-on exposure to building and deploying Agentic AI systems (not just conceptual knowledge).
- Good command of data architectures and pipelines.
- Experience with cloud architectures and modern cloud-native design.
- Working knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD, containers, and observability.
- Ability to challenge technical decisions across AI, backend, frontend, data, and infrastructure.
- Proven record delivering production-grade software end-to-end.
NICE-TO-HAVE
- Manufacturing, Industrial software, ERP, Supply Chain, WMS, or TMS experience.
- AWS ecosystem familiarity - Bedrock, SageMaker, or equivalent.
- Experience with Snowflake and/or Kubernetes.
- Microservices and event-driven architecture patterns.
- Background in AI governance, evaluation frameworks, and agent observability tooling.
LEADERSHIP PROFILE
The strongest candidates come from a Senior Software Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Tech Lead background who have grown into engineering management while retaining strong technical depth. You remain technically credible - you can engage deeply with architecture, debug hard problems, and set the bar - but you no longer need to be the strongest coder or AI specialist on the team.
