About SquareShift

SquareShift is a specialized consulting firm focused on cloud modernization, data engineering, AI/ML, and observability. We are a Google Cloud Premier Partner, a Looker Delivery-Verified Partner, and an Elastic Skilled Services partner — combining deep platform expertise with senior-led delivery for ISVs, SaaS companies, and enterprises across the US and India.

We are not a staffing shop. We are a boutique that builds — production data platforms, agentic AI products, and observability systems that go live and stay live. Our engineers work directly with client architects and CTOs.

The Role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a multi-pod team of senior engineers across our cloud, data, and AI/ML practices. You will own delivery quality, engineering health, and people growth across two to four concurrent client engagements — typically a mix of GCP data platform builds, Looker/BI migrations,



Elasticsearch/observability work, and our internal agentic AI products (Conversational BI, AIResolveX, Agentic QA).

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will not write production code every day, but you will read PRs, sit in architecture reviews, unblock debugging sessions, and coach senior engineers through hard technical decisions. You are the person clients escalate to when something is on fire, and the person engineers go to when they need air cover.

What You Will Own

Delivery
- Lead 15–25 engineers across 2–4 concurrent engagements, balancing client commitments with engineer growth and bench utilization.
- Run weekly delivery reviews using our engineering cockpit metrics across Delivery, Quality, and Health pillars (velocity, escape rate, on-call load, MTTR, engagement scores).
- Own SOW-to-go-live execution: scoping inputs, milestone plans, risk registers, change orders, and stakeho
