You will own delivery end to end: team leadership, planning, quality and stakeholder communication, across application engineering, data engineering and applied AI (ML and GenAI).\nThis is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage and grow the team, stay close enough to the architecture and codebase to guide technical decisions, and be accountable for shipping reliable, secure, production-grade solutions on time and within scope.\nKey Responsibilities\nTeam leadership: Lead, mentor and grow a team of software, data and AI engineers. Set clear expectations, give regular feedback and build a collaborative, high-performance culture.\nDelivery management: Own planning, execution and delivery of application, data and AI projects. Manage scope, schedule, budget, dependencies and risks, and keep delivery on time and to the agreed quality bar.\nHands-on engineering: Contribute to design, coding, testing and deployment, with a focus on backend services, React frontends and Azure cloud integration.\nTechnical direction: Set best practices for backend engineering, React, Azure, data platforms and AI solutions so that what the team ships is robust, scalable, secure and cost-efficient.\nCross-functional collaboration: Work with product management, UX/UI design, data science, operations and business stakeholders to align delivery with business goals and customer needs.\nCode and design reviews: Run regular reviews of code, data pipelines and AI solution designs to protect quality and enforce standards.\nProcess improvement: Improve engineering and delivery practices, including Agile ceremonies, CI/CD, automated testing and DataOps/MLOps, to raise productivity and predictability.\nStakeholder communication: Give senior management and clients clear updates on status, risks, trade-offs and technical challenges, in business terms.\nData & AI Expectations\nThe manager is accountable for delivering data and AI solutions alongside application work, and for making sure the team can do it responsibly and at production scale.\n Data platform delivery: Lead delivery of data solutions on Azure and a modern lakehouse stack (for example Databricks, Delta Lake, Azure Data Factory, Synapse or Fabric), including ingestion, transformation, data modeling and consumption layers.\nData quality and governance: Ensure pipelines meet standards for data quality, lineage, security, access control and compliance, and that data products have clear owners and SLAs.\nAI and ML delivery: Guide the team from use case to production for machine learning and GenAI solutions, covering model selection, evaluation, deployment, monitoring and retraining.\nGenAI and agentic applications: Oversee delivery of LLM-based features such as retrieval-augmented generation, copilots and agent workflows, built on services like Azure OpenAI, with guardrails for accuracy, safety, latency and cost.\nMLOps and DataOps: Establish CI/CD, testing, observability and release practices for data pipelines and models, so they are managed like any other production software.\nResponsible AI: Apply practices for privacy, security, bias, explainability and human oversight, and align with company and client policies.\nBusiness value: Work with product and business owners to prioritize AI and data use cases by value and feasibility, define success metrics, and report outcomes rather than activity.\n Team capability: Build the team's skills in data engineering, AI engineering and AI-assisted development (for example GitHub Copilot), and set expectations for using them to raise productivity and quality.\nRequired Skills and Qualifications\nTechnical expertise\nExtensive experience in backend development with Python or another modern enterprise language (such as Java or C#), including API frameworks, microservice patterns and related tooling.\nProficiency in React frontend development, including state management (for example Redux).\nStrong experience with Microsoft Azure, including Azure DevOps, Azure Functions, App Service and other core cloud services.\nWorking knowledge of data engineering and analytics on Azure: SQL, Python, ETL/ELT pipelines, and a lakehouse or data warehouse platform such as Databricks, Synapse or Fabric.\nPractical understanding of the ML and GenAI lifecycle, including LLM-based application patterns (RAG, prompt engineering, evaluation), model deployment and monitoring, and the cloud services that support them, such as Azure OpenAI and Azure Machine Learning.\nLeadership and management\nProven experience leading engineering teams and delivering successful software projects, ideally including data or AI initiatives.\nAbility to mentor and develop engineers at all levels and to build a collaborative, high-performance team culture.\nDelivery and project management\nExperience with Agile/Scrum methods and managing work in Jira or Azure DevOps.\nTrack record of managing scope, budget, risk and dependencies across multiple concurrent projects, including client-facing delivery.\nStrong problem-solving skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.\nCommunication\nExcellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to explain complex technical, data and AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.\nEducation\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. A Master's degree or relevant certifications (for example Azure, Databricks or AI-related) are a plus.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with microservices architecture and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).\nKnowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.\nHands-on experience with Databricks, Delta Lake, Spark or similar big data technologies.\nExperience delivering agentic AI or GenAI solutions in production, including evaluation, observability and cost management.\nFamiliarity with MLOps tooling (for example MLflow) and with data governance and responsible AI frameworks.\nExperience in a regulated or data-intensive domain such as life sciences, healthcare, supply chain or financial services.\nExperience with other frontend frameworks (for example Angular or Vue.js) and backend technologies (for example Node.js or Java).","description_format":"text","description_chars":6457,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","AI Agents","Supply Chain"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T16:16:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":83,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/syren-senior-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/syren-senior-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T06:02:03Z","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":10588,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4442673},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4442673"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsyren-senior-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fsyren-senior-engineering-manager"},{"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%2Fsyren-senior-engineering-manager"},{"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/syren-senior-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsyren-senior-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3406236}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"syrencloud.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3406236},"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.
