Head of Engineering - Kochi

Experience - 14-20 Years

Non-Negotiable Requirements

 14-20 years in software engineering, with 5-8 years in people leadership —

managing managers, not just engineers; total years matter less than the depth

and scale of your leadership experience

 Demonstrated experience building and leading engineering organisations of 25

or more across multiple teams or product lines

 Background in B2B SaaS or enterprise product companies — you have shipped

products to real customers, not just delivered projects

 Proven track record of building engineering culture from scratch or from

dysfunction — not just inheriting a healthy team

 Active ownership of hiring — you have built pipelines, interviewed at scale, and

closed strong candidates

 Strong communicator — credible with engineers and business stakeholders

alike; translates complexity into clarity

Strongly Preferred

 Exposure to manufacturing, supply chain, ERP, or industrial enterprise software

domains

 Experience leading an engineering org through a growth, restructuring, or

transformation phase

 Prior title of Director of Engineering, VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, or

equivalent — at a company where that title carried real org-building

accountability

 Familiarity with modern engineering practices — CI/CD, platform thinking,

developer experience, observability

 Experience setting up or maturing the Solution Architecture function within an

engineering organisation
