THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager – Delivery to own end-to-end product delivery execution across our Agentic AI platforms.

This role is accountable for predictable releases, delivery rigor, and production stability, orchestrating execution across Product, AI Engineering, and AI Quality & Reliability—without owning architecture, product prioritization, or quality standards.

If you excel at execution leadership, delivery discipline, and cross-functional alignment, this role is designed for you.

  Own delivery execution from commitment release post-release stabilization.

• 
  Drive delivery planning, sequencing, and dependency management across teams.

2. Release Planning & Coordination

• 
  Lead release planning, cut decisions, and timelines across multiple teams.

• 
  Coordinate cross-platform releases and resolve inter-team dependencies.

• 
  Own release calendars, communication plans, and stakeholder updates.

3. Delivery Predictability & Risk Management

• 
  Own delivery predictability across scope, timelines, and confidence.

• 
  Identify risks early and proactively drive mitigation plans.

• 
  Ensure no last-minute surprises for leadership or customers.

4. Go / No-Go Readiness

• 
  Co-own release readiness decisions with the Head of AI Quality & Reliability.

• 
  Ensure scope completeness, known risk visibility, rollback readiness, and monitoring plans.

• 
  Provide final delivery readiness recommendations.

5. Cross-Functional Alignment

• 
  Act as the delivery integrator across:

  • 
    Product Management (what & why)

  • 
    AI Engineering (how)

  • 
    AI Quality & Reliability (confidence & correctness)

• 
  Resolve execution friction and unblock teams proactively.

6. People Leadership (Delivery Track)

• 
  Lead and mentor delivery-focused Engineering Managers and Program Leads.

• 
  Build a culture of ownership, urgency, and execution excellence.

• 
  Drive performance management and career development for delivery roles.

7. Delivery Metrics & Continuous Improvement

• 
  Own and report delivery KPIs, including:

  • 
    On-time delivery

  • 
    Escaped defects

  • 
    Rework rate

  • 
    Release stability

  • 
    Cycle time and throughput

• 
  Use metrics to improve systems and processes—not to assign blame.

8. AI-Driven Delivery Enablement

• 
  Champion AI adoption across delivery workflows:

  • 
    AI-assisted planning and estimation

  • 
    Automated readiness and release checks

  • 
    Intelligent risk detection

• 
  Partner with AgentOps and tooling teams to continuously improve delivery velocity and quality.
