Job Summary

Role : Engineering Manager / Technical Lead – AI Builder & WIN Assessments

We're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager / Technical Lead to help shape the future of our AI-powered learning and assessment platforms, AI Builder and WIN Assessments. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from the sidelines. We want a builder, an architect, a mentor, and a leader who can roll up their sleeves and ship products at startup speed.

- Own architecture and technical decisions across the entire platform.

- Leverage GenAI, LLMs, AI agents, and emerging technologies to accelerate product innovation.
- Collaborate directly with product leaders, UX designers, architects, and customers.
- Create a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous learning.
