In addition to unlocking enterprise knowledge through natural language search, much of Rovo AI also relies on search as a core capability for secure, flexible and quick access to relevant information which is instantly kept up-to-date. As the world of AI continues to move incredibly fast, so do we with our 'ShipIt' philosophy.

Your Role

As a senior engineering manager, you will own a part of the mission for the overall Search Platform team and will be fully responsible for their outcomes. From designing the right goals in collaboration with product managers, senior engineers and partner team leads, to executing and delivering them for our customers - the buck stops with you. You will be responsible for building the highest performing teams consisting of deeply skilled and highly motivated engineers, empowering and enabling them to exceed their own potential. In pursuit of our ambitious mission, you will also be the primary architect of the culture in your team, aligned with our core values, focused on innovation and excellence.

Our vision of a world-class, unified search platform which enables us to deliver cutting edge capabilities including hybrid search over enterprise data at massive scale, fundamentally depends on a rock solid engineering and operational foundation. You will help hire, develop and work closely with senior engineers to actively drive technical solutions and architecture, and own the quality of decision making along with their long-term outcomes. In order for us to be the best, we will need to learn fast and keep up to date with emerging technologies and research in Search & AI. As a senior technical leader in this team, you will act as a role model for continuously upgrading deep technical skills, engineering judgment and strong operational rigour.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have

• 4+ years of experience managing high performing, software engineering teams running core services at scale
• Experience building and scaling search applications and distributed systems using large amounts of data on cloud platforms, preferably AWS
• Proven track record of consistent execution delivering outsized results with strong operational rigour; ability to continuously simplify and evolve reliable processes for the team
• Strong organisation and communication skills with the ability to drive clarity in an ambiguous environment; effectively communicate technical concepts and results clearly and concisely, and solicit feedback from various stakeholders.
• Ability to hire, onboard, and retain top talent for your team and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence
• Passion for mentoring and coaching your team members on best practices, code quality, design patterns, testing and operational skills
• Focus on business outcomes and the 80/20 rule; very high bar for output quality, but recognise the business benefit of 'ship small, ship fast and iterate' vs 'building for perfection'
• Proactive approach and a desire to innovate in a large, fast-paced organisation; ability to balance multiple projects under pressure

If you've got these skills, even better:

• Experience in defining strategic roadmap for products and platforms
• Experience with distributed development teams
