Job Description
Role Overview
nWe 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.

nStructured Product Development
n• Establish and drive a structured, repeatable approach to product development across Kanerika's AI product portfolio — covering planning, architecture, sprint execution, and release discipline.
n• Own the end-to-end development lifecycle:



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