The posting

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Director of Software Engineering based in Bengaluru, India.

As Director of Software Engineering, you will lead and scale a high-performing engineering organization while driving the delivery of innovative, customer-facing SaaS products. You will oversee multiple product areas, from technical strategy and architecture to production launches and continuous improvement. Working closely with global engineering leaders, you will help transform complex data into actionable insights and build reliable, scalable technology solutions. You will also champion AI-driven innovation, strengthen engineering practices, and develop future technical leaders. This is an opportunity to shape engineering strategy, improve product experiences, and influence business outcomes within a collaborative, globally distributed environment. The role is fully remote within Bengaluru and requires regular overlap with U.S. business hours.

Accountabilities

  • Lead the design, development, deployment, and ongoing operation of customer-facing software products across multiple product areas, ensuring reliable delivery and high-quality user experiences.
  • Oversee the development of enterprise hiring workflows and self-service platforms, including recruiter tools, hiring manager applications, applicant tracking system integrations, candidate funnel management, and post-interview decision-making solutions.
  • Drive improvements to operational tooling, payment processes, messaging and notification infrastructure, and cost optimization initiatives.
  • Identify and implement emerging technologies, including AI-assisted workflows, to enhance technical assessment capabilities, product functionality, and operational efficiency.
  • Establish and execute engineering strategies that balance product delivery, scalability, reliability, security, platform health, and technical debt.
  • Build, mentor, and develop engineering managers and senior technical talent, fostering a strong leadership pipeline and delegating meaningful ownership of products, features, and technical decisions.
  • Strengthen engineering culture, improve development processes, and promote continuous improvement across architecture, code quality, and delivery practices.
  • Collaborate closely with global engineering leadership and cross-functional teams, particularly across India and the United States, to align priorities and ensure effective execution across time zones.
  • Serve as a trusted local engineering leader, supporting collaboration, communication, and engagement between India-based employees and their international colleagues.
  • At least 10 years of professional software engineering experience, including 5 or more years in engineering management or leadership roles.
  • Proven experience delivering and operating customer-facing, hosted SaaS products in production. This is an essential requirement for the position.
  • Strong technical expertise in modern software engineering and AI-driven technologies, with the ability to contribute meaningfully to architectural decisions, design reviews, code reviews, and complex technical trade-offs.
  • Demonstrated experience leading the complete software development lifecycle, from product planning and technical design through implementation, launch, production operations, and iterative improvement.
  • Experience hiring, coaching, mentoring, and performance-managing software engineers, with a strong preference for candidates who have managed engineering managers.
  • Proven ability to develop senior engineering leaders, delegate responsibilities effectively, and establish clear ownership across technical, product, and people-management functions.
  • A track record of improving engineering processes, organizational culture, and technical systems while maintaining a balance between delivery speed, reliability, security, and long-term maintainability.
  • Experience working with geographically distributed teams, ideally collaborating extensively with engineering organizations in both India and the United States.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, combined with strong interpersonal judgment, empathy, and the ability to build trust across teams, functions, and time zones.
  • The ability to lead an India-based engineering organization while aligning local execution with broader global business and technology priorities.
  • Current full-time residence in Bengaluru, India. Applicants based in other Indian cities are not eligible for this position.
  • Willingness and ability to work regular hours overlapping with U.S. business hours, approximately 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. IST, Monday through Friday.
  • Availability for occasional travel to the United States for research and development leadership activities.
  • Submission of all application materials in English and a commitment to providing accurate, complete, and truthful information throughout the recruitment process.
  • Remote work flexibility: Work remotely from Bengaluru, India, while collaborating with an international engineering organization.
  • Leadership and career growth: Shape the direction of an engineering organization, develop future leaders, and influence product and technical strategy.
  • Technical innovation: Work on modern SaaS products, data-driven platforms, and AI-assisted workflows with meaningful opportunities to influence engineering practices.
  • Global collaboration: Partner with international teams and engineering leaders, gaining exposure to diverse technical perspectives and business priorities.
  • Meaningful ownership: Lead multiple product areas and help build scalable systems that improve customer experiences and operational efficiency.
  • Inclusive work environment: Join a collaborative culture that values diversity, equal opportunity, respectful working relationships, and individual contributions.
  • International exposure: Opportunities for occasional travel to the United States for research and development leadership purposes.
  • Compensation and additional benefits: Specific salary details, healthcare coverage, paid leave, bonuses, and other benefits have not been disclosed in the available job description and should be confirmed during the recruitment process.
