Manager, Engineering - India

Overview

Founding Engineering Manager for the new Web Reporting squad in India, building Juniper Square's next-generation web reporting product as an AI-first, headless system.

What you'll do

• Build the team: hire, onboard and grow a squad of 5–7 engineers, setting the bar, culture and operating rhythm for a brand-new team.
• Deliver the web reporting roadmap: own execution from tech design through launch, plan sprints, manage scope and dependencies, and ship predictably against milestones.
• Lead technical direction: build, review and approve tech designs for the new system, with focus on data modeling, performance at scale, correctness of financial numbers, and security.
• Make AI part of how the team works: use AI coding and design tools to raise team throughput, and help evaluate where LLMs belong in the product versus where deterministic logic must stay.
• Partner across time zones: work with product, design, PDF Reporting and the data platform team in North America, keep a few hours of daily overlap with Pacific time, and make decisions and status visible in writing.
• Own quality and operations: set standards for testing, observability and incident response.
• Develop people: run 1:1s, give direct feedback, write performance reviews and build career paths for every engineer.

What you'll need

• 12 years in software engineering, including 3+ years directly managing an engineering team of 5 or more.
• A track record of building or scaling a team: hiring, onboarding and retaining engineers.
• Strong technical judgment across web applications and data, including reviewing designs for Python services, React/TypeScript frontends and SQL-heavy data pipelines.
• Experience with data-intensive or financial systems such as reporting, analytics, dashboards, or products where the numbers must be exact.
• AI-forward in practice: uses AI tools in own work daily and has brought them into a team's workflow, with specific results to name.
• Experience working well with distributed teams, ideally with stakeholders in North America.
• Clear, direct written and spoken English; flags risks early and brings a recommendation along with the problem.

Nice to have

• Private markets domain knowledge: private equity, real estate, venture or credit funds, fund administration, or investor reporting.
• Background in financial or investor reporting, such as capital account statements, capital call and distribution notices, or fund performance reporting.
• Hands-on experience with Redshift or a similar cloud data warehouse, or with semantic layers and BI tools.
• Has shipped a product feature using LLMs in production, including evaluation and guardrails.
• Has been the first engineering manager on a new team or in a new location.
