Director – Technical Delivery

Location: Pune, India (Hybrid)

Job Type: Full-Time

About This Role

We are building a high-performing engineering team that harnesses the power of Claude AI and Agentic Code, and we need a technical leader who thrives equally in architecture reviews and in the weeds of a pull request. This is a rare opportunity to define how an ambitious, AI-native engineering culture is built from the ground up.

What You'll Do

- Lead a team of 10–12 engineers across full-stack, backend, and infrastructure — set the bar, mentor relentlessly, retain top talent




- Be the technical face to customer architects and solution reviewers — design reviews, pre-sales evaluations, architecture discussions
- Own WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) discipline: stories must be crisp, estimated, and unambiguous before development begins
- Track sprint health with precision — surface blockers quick, resolve faster, never let the team stall silently
- Champion Claude AI and Claude Code across the development workflow — code review automation, AI-assisted scaffolding, intelligent test generation
- Mature the CI/CD pipeline — reduce cycle time, increase deployment frequency, build a culture of continuous improvement
- Stay technical: review code, pair on hard problems, be the person engineers turn to when they're stuck
- Partner with product, infrastructure, and enterprise architects on platform alignment

Tech Stack

- Cloud: Azure (AKS, App Service, Functions), Azure DevOps, Bicep/Terraform
- App: .NET/C#, React, Python
- AI: Claude AI, Claude Code, Anthropic API
- Delivery: CI/CD, Agile/Scrum, quality gates

What You Bring

- 12+ years in software engineering; 4+ years in technical leadership
- Fluent in the Microsoft stack — you can review .NET code, spot a React anti-pattern, debug an Azure pipeline failure
- Proven track record building and scaling engineering teams
- Strong CI/CD background — you've built pipelines and driven measurable delivery improvements
- Comfortable with customer-facing technical conversations: architecture proposals, RFP responses, solution design sessions
- Already using AI-assisted dev tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in your own workflow
- Excellent English communication — spec writing and exec-level presentations alike
- Healthcare technology exposure is a strong plus; experience with US-HQ distributed teams is preferred
