Reimagine How The World Communicates with AI
We are building the backbone for the next generation of human communication. Imagine a system that doesn't just transmit voice and video, but understands it in real-time, transcribing, summarizing and retrieving context across millions of concurrent sessions
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a specialized team of engineers building AI applications on an Agentic AI Platform. You will bridge the gap between high-level architectural goals and daily execution, fostering a culture of technical excellence while remaining deeply hands-on with the code.
What You’ll Do
Team Leadership & People Management: Lead a small, agile team of engineers. You will act as the liaison between individual contributors and management, owning talent reviews, goal setting, and performance management for your team (including setting quarterly goals)
Active Technical Contribution: Stay actively involved in coding and code reviews. You will contribute directly to design and architecture reviews, ensuring the team maintains high standards for code quality and system reliability.
Mentorship: Provide direct technical guidance to team members and supporting the professional development of junior-to-mid-level ICs.
Project Execution: Lead specific project teams through planning, task allocation, and progress tracking. You will ensure the team follows AI best practices to deliver on roadmap commitments.
