Engineering Manager, AI
kadenceFull Description
We’re partnering with a global, publicly listed SaaS company building out a next-generation AI product suite across legal, tax, and enterprise workflows.
They’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-impact team working on AI-native products—focused on scaling systems, driving innovation, and solving complex, ambiguous problems across the software lifecycle.
This is a unique opportunity to step into a startup-like environment backed by enterprise scale, where you’ll have real ownership over both technical direction and team growth.
What You’ll Do
* Lead and grow a team of engineers building AI-driven products end-to-end
* Own and drive the technical roadmap, balancing new innovation with system reliability and scalability
* Partner cross-functionally with product, design, and business stakeholders to deliver high-impact solutions
* Mentor and develop engineers, building a strong pipeline of future leaders
* Introduce and scale modern engineering practices across teams
* Operate across both strategy and execution—this is not a purely hands-off role
What They’re Looking For
* ~8+ years of software engineering experience
* 3+ years managing and scaling engineering teams
* Strong background in backend systems (Python, AWS)
* Experience working in fast-moving, product-focused environments
* Track record of driving process improvements, technical strategy, and team development
* Ability to navigate ambiguity and build structure where needed
Nice to have: exposure to modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript), AI/ML systems, or large-scale data platforms
Why This Role
* Work on AI-first products being used in real-world workflows today
* Backed by a global SaaS leader, but operating with a startup mindset
* High visibility role with impact across multiple product lines
* Opportunity to shape both technology and team at scale
