L7- Assistant Manager - Product & Engineering Operations

Job Location

Vellore

Job Summary

• Multiple engineering teams. One operational standard.
• The Assistant Manager - Product & Engineering Operations leads cross-functional execution across SDT, STT, WIT, and AIT teams. From software development and testing to UI/UX delivery and AI deployment.
• You oversee project execution, sprint delivery, quality metrics, deployment readiness, resource planning, and cross-team coordination. You bridge product vision with operational execution while ensuring engineering quality, testing discipline, design consistency, and measurable intelligence outcomes.
• The Conductor does not manage isolated teams. It synchronizes the entire engineering ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Team leadership - managing engineering teams across delivery operations
  • Project execution - overseeing sprint plans, releases, and timelines
• Engineering governance - ensuring coding, testing, and deployment standards
• Cross-functional collaboration - aligning development, testing, design, and AI teams
• Quality & deployment oversight - monitoring defects, stability, and production readiness
• Operational reporting - tracking KPIs, SLAs, and delivery performance
• Risk & escalation management - resolving blockers, delays, and production issues
• Process improvement - improving CI/CD, QA workflows, and operational efficiency
• Team development - mentoring teams and strengthening engineering accountability

Non-Negotiable Metrics

• Delivery stability + cross-functional performance
• Target: 95% release stability | 90% sprint delivery accuracy
• Measured through deployment success, testing coverage, delivery timelines, defect reduction, SLA adherence, and operational KPI improvements across engineering teams.

The Fight: What You Will Fight

• When development moves without testing, design hands off incomplete requirements, deployments go live without stability checks, or AI models launch without measurable outcomes - operational breakdown follows.
• The Conductor fights fragmentation, delivery bottlenecks, unstable releases, and quality compromises that slow teams and damage trust in the product.
• Your responsibility is not just execution speed. It is coordinated, measurable, production-ready delivery.

Who Thrives Here

• You think system-wide - You understand how development, testing, design, and AI operations connect and impact delivery.
• You lead with discipline - You track metrics, resolve blockers early, and maintain execution standards across teams.
• You stay stable under pressure - You manage deadlines, escalations, and changing priorities with structure and control.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field
• 7 years of experience in Software Development, QA, Product Engineering, AI Operations, or Technical Project Management
• Experience leading cross-functional engineering or product teams
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile methodology, CI/CD pipelines, testing workflows, and deployment operations
• Experience managing delivery timelines, operational KPIs, and stakeholder communication
• Strong leadership, analytical, problem-solving, and escalation management skills
