Role Overview
We are looking for a Development Manager who will bring structure, rigour, and technical depth to how we build our AI products. This is a role for someone who is as comfortable deep in system design and architecture decisions as they are running a sprint, reviewing code, and shaping engineering culture. You will lead the development of Kanerika's AI products — solutions at the intersection of data analytics and enterprise software — working alongside a team of intelligent, high-energy engineers who set a high bar for themselves. We want a builder-leader — someone who brings structured thinking to product development, keeps the team sharp and focused, and is genuinely excited about where AI is taking enterprise software.

Key Responsibilities

Structured Product Development
• Establish and drive a structured, repeatable approach to product development across Kanerika's AI product portfolio — covering planning, architecture, sprint execution, and release discipline.
• Own the end-to-end development lifecycle: from requirements and system design through build, test, deployment,



and continuous improvement.
• Introduce and enforce engineering best practices — code quality, documentation standards, design reviews, and testing frameworks — that scale with the team and the products.
• Bring clarity and predictability to delivery without sacrificing the team's pace and engineering ambition. Technical Leadership & System Design
• Lead system design and architecture decisions for AI-powered product features — ensuring solutions are scalable, cost-efficient, and built for the long term.
• Drive cost optimisation strategies for AI features, including model selection, inference efficiency, caching strategies, and smart resource allocation.
• Conduct meaningful code and design reviews — setting a high technical bar while helping the team grow through constructive, experience-backed feedback.
• Identify technical risks early and make transparent, well-reasoned calls on trad
