Engineering Manager – India
Zania
Date: 5 days ago
City: Remote, Remote
Contract type: Full time
Remote

TL;DR – Who We Want:
Zania is building AI-powered compliance automation—a problem that affects every enterprise, yet no one has solved properly. We’re fixing that with AI agents that remove manual bottlenecks in security compliance. Our team includes engineers from Microsoft, Airbnb, Brex, Instacart, Oracle, and CrowdStrike, and we need someone equally sharp to lead our India engineering team.
This isn’t a corporate leadership role. This is a builder’s job—you’ll architect systems, ship code, manage a high-caliber team, and scale our AI stack to real enterprise adoption.
What You’ll Do:
- Built and scaled a 0-1 product at a startup that gained real users.
- Managed engineers—not just led projects, but hired, mentored, and pushed teams to ship fast.
- Graduated from a top engineering college (IIT, BITS Pilani, top NITs).
- Writes and ships code—hands-on with Python (FastAPI), React, TypeScript and can architect scalable systems.
- Wants to build at startup speed—moves fast, takes ownership, and is obsessed with impact.

- Lead, recruit, and mentor a team of elite engineers from IITs, BITS Pilani, and top NITs—set high standards for code and execution.

- Collaborate with global teams—work directly with founders and engineers in the US on the hardest technical problems.
- 5-10 years of experience, including 2+ years as an Engineering Manager.
- Built a 0-1 product that people actually used—not an internal tool, not a research project, but a startup product that got real traction.
- Managed engineers in high-performance teams—hired, mentored, and led teams that actually shipped.
- Elite engineering background—IIT, BITS Pilani, top NITs, or equivalent high-performance experience.
- Writes and ships production code—deep expertise in backend (Python, FastAPI), frontend (React, TypeScript), and systems design.
- Moves at startup speed—zero patience for bureaucracy, high bias for action, thrives under pressure.

- Own and build AI-driven systems used by global enterprises.
- High-growth environment—no red tape, just execution.
- Work with elite engineers solving real AI problems.
