Our software supports more than 7,000 customers and tens of millions of learners worldwide. The India engineering organization is a core part of Cornerstone’s global product engineering, and our AI Engineering organization builds the Workforce AI capabilities and shared platform that power skills intelligence, content intelligence, personalization,



and agentic experiences across Cornerstone’s products.

About The Role

We are hiring a Senior Director, AI Engineering to lead Cornerstone’s AI Engineering organization in Hyderabad. You will own the people, the technical direction, and the delivery outcomes for multiple AI engineering teams building the Workforce AI models, services, and platform that make Cornerstone’s products intelligent — skills inference, recommendations, content understanding, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation, and the agentic workflows layered on top.

This is a deeply technical leadership role. You will lead through managers and tech leads, but you are expected to be credible in the room: shaping AI architecture, pressure-testing retrieval and evaluation strategy, questioning inference cost and latency trade-offs, and reading a design document or a pull request with real judgment. You will not be writing product
