Full Job Description
The Role

This is not a caretaker role. You will set the technical direction for a division being built from the ground up, build the team, and own delivery against a product roadmap that moves fast. You ship, you lead, and you do both at the same time.

What You'll Own
  • Set and execute the technical vision - microservices architecture, agentic AI systems, data pipelines, and customer-facing product surfaces
  • Build and lead a high-performance engineering team across US and EU - hiring, developing, and retaining top talent
  • Own the agentic AI engineering roadmap - how agents are built, reasoned with, debugged, and improved in production
  • Partner with data science to design and build data-driven product capabilities that power LSP decision intelligence
  • Work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers to close the loop between customer reality and product roadmap
  • Represent engineering at the leadership level - contributing to product strategy, hiring, and go-to-market planning
  • Obsess over customers and ensure customers are successful in adopting LSP platform.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven ability to design and build products end to end - from brief to production
  • Global team management experience is a strong plus
  • Logistics or supply chain technology experience is a strong plus

How You Lead
  • Hands-on without micromanaging - you know when to code and when to coach
  • You make decisions with incomplete information and own the outcomes
  • You attract strong engineers because strong engineers want to work for you
  • You operate with urgency without creating chaos
  • Some travel to Bangalore and to customers will be needed.

Work Authorization: Candidates must be authorised to work in the US without current or future employer-sponsored visa support.

In-office Commitment: Our office is where ideas spark, connections thrive, and innovation comes alive.
