You set what “good” means for how we build software, hold teams to it, and make Hyderabad a place the rest of Engineering takes cues from: talent density, technical judgment, and delivery discipline.

As VP Engineering, you own engineering excellence for our product development organisation globally, with Hyderabad as your primary stage. You will: Set and enforce global standards for engineering practice and Secure SDLC - what ships, what gets blocked, and how quality and predictability are measured across product teams. Be the lighthouse for the Hyderabad superhub: raise the local hiring and performance bar, build Staff+ talent density, and make the hub a visible benchmark for craft and accountability across Engineering. Own the engineering career framework and learning paths with engineering leadership so progression, calibration, and technical depth are consistent worldwide - and unmistakably strong in Hyderabad. Act with clear bar authority: advise product engineering leaders on architecture, quality, and delivery, and escalate or stop work when standards, security, or craft are at risk. Partner with Engineering Operations on developer experience, CI/CD, and AI-assisted workflows so tooling reinforces the bar rather than bypasses it. Scale excellence through chapters, mentorship, and targeted enablement - only where it hardens standards and talent, not as theatre.

We need a high-caliber engineering leader who has raised the bar in large, multi-site organisations - and who wants Hyderabad to be their proof point. You combine deep technical credibility with the backbone to reset culture where “yes” has outrun “done.” 10+ years of engineering leadership, with a proven record raising standards across organisations of 500+ engineers in multiple locations. Track record of hard resets: hiring bar, performance calibration, architecture/quality gates, and holding delivery pressure accountable to craft - not just running guilds or frameworks. Hands-on enough to pair in code and credible across web, mobile, and backend when guiding engineers and architects. Strong product sense: UX, business logic, and non-functionals - you know what good looks like end-to-end. Demonstrated ownership of career frameworks, engineering standards, and Secure SDLC in financial services or other regulated environments. Experience building or transforming a major engineering hub (or equivalent multi-site centre of excellence) - attracting senior talent and making that site a magnet, not a cost centre. Driven AI adoption in real product development, with judgment about where it raises quality and where it does not. A clear communicator who can set a vision, say no with reasons, and rally leaders around shared standards and commitments.
