As a Technical Leader at our Bengaluru-based AIS Center of Excellence (COE), you will have the opportunity to build and guide a team of over 40 engineers specialized in software product development. Emphasizing on fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and innovation within the team, you will oversee the development of AI solutions at all stages of the product lifecycle, from Proof of Concept (PoC) to production-scale deployment. Your role will involve developing reusable accelerators and client-ready solutions in collaboration with Bain's Industry Practices. Collaboration with Bain partners and clients will be a crucial aspect of your responsibilities, as you will promote the COE's capabilities, understand client needs, and tailor solutions accordingly. Occasionally, you will engage directly with clients to address complex problems and provide strategic guidance. Your leadership will extend to a multi-disciplinary engineering team, including backend and frontend developers, data engineers, product managers, and infrastructure/QA experts, ensuring high standards of engineering quality and leveraging diverse technologies to meet client requirements. Additionally, you will partner with the operations leader to manage COE operations and delivery schedules effectively. To excel in this role, you should possess an advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, along with 12+ years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years of managing engineering teams. Prior experience in setting up or managing an engineering hub will be highly desirable. Your technical expertise should include proficiency in fundamental computer science principles, software design best practices, and software development workflows. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++, as well as experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and modern software development methodologies such as Agile and DevOps, will be essential. Furthermore, proven experience in building and scaling engineering teams, strong leadership skills to inspire and guide a team towards delivering high-quality solutions under tight deadlines, and the ability to engage with multiple stakeholders while articulating technical solutions are critical. Your commitment to mentoring and nurturing the next generation of engineering talent, along with excellent collaboration skills to work effectively with global teams across diverse functions, will be key to succeeding in this role.
