Engineering Manager - Warehouse Applications

Overview

Lead and build the warehouse applications team in Chennai, responsible for the applications that run warehouse operations for Rapyuta Robotics' ASRS and AMR products.

What you'll do

• Own the applications that run warehouse operations, with or without robots (inventory, orders, workflows and operational visibility), end to end, from roadmap to production.
• Make sure business logic stays in the shared platform and is exposed through open APIs that customers and partners can build on.
• Bring AI into the applications where it improves how warehouses are run.
• Practice test-driven development and automate testing across applications, APIs and integrations, so releases are safe to ship often.
• Make integration with customers' ERP and host systems repeatable, so go-lives become configuration rather than custom projects.
• Turn the roadmap and customer deployments into plans the squads can execute, and keep releases predictable.
• Work across time zones with engineering, product and support in Tokyo.
• Lead and grow one to two squads in Chennai: hire, coach, give timely feedback and address underperformance.
• Grow tech leads who can own design inside their squads.

What you'll need

• A track record of owning delivery of enterprise or logistics software in production, ideally WMS, WES, TMS or ERP-integrated systems.
• Experience taking products from 10 to 100: turning an application that works for a few customers into one that is configured, not rebuilt, for many.
• Experience designing API-first, service-based systems that others build on, with strong opinions on where business logic should and should not live.
• A quality-first mindset, with hands-on practice of test-driven development and automated testing, and a record of raising the quality bar of the teams you lead.
• Experience with formal modeling of enterprise systems (domain, process and data models) and with building systems that handle data and execution at scale.
• Demonstrated leadership and potential to grow further, grounded in fit with core values and technical credibility, including building or scaling a team.
• Business-level English and experience working with distributed teams.

Nice to have

• Exposure to real operations: go-lives, customer integrations or support escalations.
• Comfort using AI-assisted development and building AI-enabled features.
