Position Overview:



We are building a cutting-edge GenAI-powered SaaS platform that enables investigators to interact with complex case data through a conversational interface. The system leverages LLMs, RAG architectures, and agentic workflows in a rapidly evolving environment.

As we scale, we are looking for a hands-on R&D Manager, reporting to the VP R&D, to take ownership of day-to-day execution, team delivery, and production stability - enabling the team to move fast while freeing leadership to focus on new innovation and strategic initiatives.

This is not a traditional management role. You will operate as a player-coach, staying close to the technology while leading a small, high-impact team.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the day-to-day execution of the development team (planning, prioritization, delivery)
Work closely with Product, DevOps, and Customer Success to ensure smooth delivery of features and fixes
Own production stability and ongoing support processes (triage, prioritization, resolution tracking)
Manage and mentor engineers while maintaining a flat, startup-like culture
Drive high engineering standards across code quality, testing, and system reliability
Stay hands-on with the system architecture, especially around GenAI pipelines, RAG, and agentic flows
Remove blockers and ensure the team can execute quickly in a fast-changing environment
Balance short-term delivery needs with longer-term technical health
Improve development processes without introducing unnecessary overhead

What We’re Looking For



A builder-leader who leads by doing, not by delegating
Someone who can own execution without adding bureaucracy
Strong sense of ownership and accountability
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapid change
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Why Join Us



Work on a real-world GenAI product with meaningful impact
Be part of a small, elite team pushing the boundaries of AI in production
Direct influence on product, architecture, and engineering culture
Opportunity to operate at the intersection of execution and innovation



Requirements:

10+ years of experience in software engineering, with strong backend/full-stack background
3+ years of experience in a technical leadership or team lead / hands-on manager role
Proven experience delivering production SaaS applications
Hands-on experience with GenAI / LLM-based systems (RAG, Agentic workflows, or similar)
Strong system design skills for scalable, distributed systems
Experience working in cloud environments (GCP preferred)
Ability to stay hands-on technically while leading a team
Strong problem-solving and execution skills

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with agentic frameworks or multi-step AI workflows
Background in fast-scaling startups or innovation teams
Experience working with data-intensive systems (e.g., BigQuery)
Familiarity with DevOps / production environments
Experience working in high-trust / sensitive data domains
