You set what “good” means for how we build software, hold teams to it, and make Hyderabad a place the rest of Engineering takes cues from: talent density, technical judgment, and delivery discipline.\nMeet the job\nAs VP Engineering, you own engineering excellence for our product development organisation globally, with Hyderabad as your primary stage. You will:\nSet and enforce global standards for engineering practice and Secure SDLC - what ships, what gets blocked, and how quality and predictability are measured across product teams.\nBe the lighthouse for the Hyderabad superhub: raise the local hiring and performance bar, build Staff+ talent density, and make the hub a visible benchmark for craft and accountability across Engineering.\nOwn the engineering career framework and learning paths with engineering leadership so progression, calibration, and technical depth are consistent worldwide - and unmistakably strong in Hyderabad.\nAct with clear bar authority: advise product engineering leaders on architecture, quality, and delivery, and escalate or stop work when standards, security, or craft are at risk.\nPartner with Engineering Operations on developer experience, CI/CD, and AI-assisted workflows so tooling reinforces the bar rather than bypasses it.\nScale excellence through chapters, mentorship, and targeted enablement - only where it hardens standards and talent, not as theatre.\nHow about you?\nWe need a high-caliber engineering leader who has raised the bar in large, multi-site organisations - and who wants Hyderabad to be their proof point. You combine deep technical credibility with the backbone to reset culture where “yes” has outrun “done.”\n10+ years of engineering leadership, with a proven record raising standards across organisations of 500+ engineers in multiple locations.\nTrack record of hard resets: hiring bar, performance calibration, architecture/quality gates, and holding delivery pressure accountable to craft - not just running guilds or frameworks.\nHands-on enough to pair in code and credible across web, mobile, and backend when guiding engineers and architects.\nStrong product sense: UX, business logic, and non-functionals - you know what good looks like end-to-end.\nDemonstrated ownership of career frameworks, engineering standards, and Secure SDLC in financial services or other regulated environments.\nExperience building or transforming a major engineering hub (or equivalent multi-site centre of excellence) - attracting senior talent and making that site a magnet, not a cost centre.\nDriven AI adoption in real product development, with judgment about where it raises quality and where it does not.\nA clear communicator who can set a vision, say no with reasons, and rally leaders around shared standards and commitments.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2950,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T18:16:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/backbase-pnp-vp-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/backbase-pnp-vp-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T13:24:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18044,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":18103},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=18103"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbackbase-pnp-vp-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbackbase-pnp-vp-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbackbase-pnp-vp-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/backbase-pnp-vp-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbackbase-pnp-vp-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3285514}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"backbase.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3285514},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
