Title: Technical Product Engineering Lead
Hands-On Product Delivery, Deep Technical Leadership, AI-First Execution
Location: Kochi, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Function: Product Engineering / Delivery
Role Type: Hands-on Leadership
Role Summary:
We are seeking a hands-on Technical Product Engineering Lead in Kochi to own School Path product delivery across engineering, QA, data, and GTM priorities. This is not a pure project manager or scrum master role. The leader must combine strong product thinking, deep technical problem-solving, user/customer advocacy, quality ownership, and hands-on coding/debugging support to keep delivery moving at high velocity without sacrificing team health or product trust.
Core Mission:
- Lead School Path dev, QA, and data teams to deliver complete, high-quality product journeys from requirements to production.
- Act as the customer/user voice while balancing scope, resources, GTM urgency, technical debt, and release quality.
- Go deep into technical issues: inspect architecture, review code, debug production problems, unblock developers, and assist with coding when needed.
- Drive AI-first automation across requirements, design, UX, code, testing, deployment, monitoring, and feedback loops.
Key Responsibilities:
Product + Delivery Ownership
- Convert business/GTM needs into sprint-ready priorities
- Own end-to-end delivery: requirements, design, UX, development, QA, and release
- Ensure complete user journeys, not isolated features
- Manage delivery risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs
- Keep leadership, GTM, engineering, data, and QA aligned
Hands-On Technical Leadership:
- Review architecture, data flows, APIs, PRs, and design tradeoffs
- Debug complex frontend/backend/data/integration issues
- Personally prototype, script, or code to unblock delivery
- Improve CI/CD, observability, security, performance, and test discipline
- Coach developers toward stronger engineering practices
User + Quality Ownership
- Challenge weak UX and broken flows
- Validate releases against real parent/school workflows
- Drive regression, integration, and journey testing
- Track production defects, root causes, and release health
AI-First Delivery
- Use AI tools for backlog, prototyping, coding, QA, docs, and analytics
- Automate repetitive delivery bottlenecks
- Push rapid velocity while protecting quality and maintainability
- Establish responsible AI engineering practices
Required Profile:
- 8+ years across software engineering, product engineering, technical delivery, or engineering leadership
- Recent hands-on coding/debugging ability across modern web platforms, APIs, databases, and cloud deployments
- Strong full-stack understanding; preferred exposure to React/Next.js, Node/Python, PostgreSQL/Supabase/Firebase, AWS/Azure/Vercel, CI/CD, GitHub, Linear (or similar tools), GA4/PostHog, and AI coding tools
- Proven ability to lead developers, QA, and data teams while managing customer, GTM, product, and team-capacity pressures
- Extreme product quality consciousness, user empathy, ownership mindset, and calm execution under ambiguity
Success Measures:
- Faster, more predictable sprint execution with fewer production defects and fewer incomplete user journeys
- Critical technical blockers resolved quickly through hands-on leadership
- Improved automation across coding, testing, deployment, monitoring, and data/product workflows
- A stronger Kochi delivery engine that can move fast, maintain quality, and support GTM priorities sustainably
