Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement within the engineering teams.
Partner with Product Management, Program Management, Architecture, and Business stakeholders to align product strategy and execution.
Drive engineering agility and code quality through strong adoption of Agile, DevSecOps, test automation, and clean architecture practices.
Contribute to the evolution of SKY s software architecture, scalability, and modernization initiatives.
Track engineering KPIs such as velocity, quality, and throughput, and provide regular updates to global leadership.
Collaborate effectively across time zones and functions to ensure timely, high-quality software delivery.
Stay abreast of emerging technologies, frameworks, and trends to inform strategic decisions and enhance team capabilities.
Invest in leadership development, technical mentoring, and career growth for engineers within the India organization.

Familiarity with modern engineering tools such as Git, Jenkins, JUnit, Bitbucket, and SonarQube.
Agile and Project Management Skills: An Engineering Manager in an Agile environment is a key driver of technical delivery. This requires a strong grasp of Agile methodologies (like Scrum and Kanban) and the ability to apply them effectively. They must be able to:

- Facilitate Agile ceremonies and foster a DevOps culture.
- Manage team capacity and resource allocation.
- Break down complex problems into manageable tasks.
- Prioritize work based on business value.
- Identify and mitigate risks to the project.

Strong collaboration skills and ability to influence and align with global stakeholders across Product, QA, DevOps, and Architecture.
Informal leadership experience: Often, the transition to management starts with informal leadership roles. This could include mentoring junior developers, leading small projects, or acting as a technical lead. These experiences demonstrate an aptitude for guiding and inspiring others.
Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort operating in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Commitment to sustainability, innovation, and Shell s purpose to power progress with cleaner energy.
Experience as a hands-on software engineer: This is the most fundamental requirement. They should have a proven track record as an individual contributor, having written and shipped code. This experience provides them with credibility and a deep understanding of the challenges their team faces.

Cross-functional collaboration: They should have experience working closely with product managers, designers, and other departments. This shows they can align engineering efforts with business goals and navigate the complexities of product development.
