Job Summary

Role : Engineering Manager / Technical Lead – AI Builder & WIN Assessments

We're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager / Technical Lead to help shape the future of our AI-powered learning and assessment platforms, AI Builder and WIN Assessments.

What You'll Do

  • Drive rapid experimentation, MVPs, and production releases.
  • Leverage GenAI, LLMs, AI agents, and emerging technologies to accelerate product innovation.
  • Collaborate directly with product leaders, UX designers, architects, and customers.
  • Create a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous learning.

Experience

·                  8+ years of software product engineering experience.
