Engineering Manager

About the Company

Polaris School of Technology is India’s industry-first tech college, built in collaboration with Google, AWS and Microsoft.

About the Role

Delivering our academic programs are closer to shipping a live product every week than running a traditional timetable. Sessions, people, content and student experience must come together on time and at a consistently high bar. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who can build systems from scratch, lead a large team, solve problems in real time and continuously improve delivery. You don’t need to be an academic. You need to be exceptional at making complex things work.

• Own session quality, consistency and the overall student experience
• Translate curriculum into clear sequencing, formats and delivery systems
• Use attendance, satisfaction and student outcomes to improve every cycle
• Work closely with Academics, Admissions, Student Success and Events

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience
• 3+ years of experience managing teams
• Experience leading teams of 10+ people

Required Skills

• A track record of owning complex, high-visibility projects end-to-end
• Strong systems thinking and comfort with ambiguity
• A hands-on approach, with the ability to move between strategy and execution
• A data-driven mindset and obsession with continuous improvement
• Ability to lead across functions, not only within a reporting line
• Genuine excitement about reimagining higher education

Preferred Skills

• Experience in EdTech, higher education or startups is helpful, but not required.

Why Polaris?

• Work directly with the Head of Academics
