Engineering Manager
(Hands-on | SaaS | High Ownership | Scale Stage)
Engineering Manager – Build the Backbone of the Future of Event Tech
Location: [Your Location / Hybrid / Remote]
Company: Eventstrat
Experience: 6–10 Years
Type: Full-Time
About Eventstrat
Eventstrat sits at the intersection of events and technology. We are building a
research-driven, AI-powered ecosystem platform
that transforms how complex events are executed — unifying stakeholders, streamlining operations, and enabling measurable impact.
From enterprise events to government & PSU deployments, we are solving real-world complexity with scalable technology. We are now entering our
scale phase
— and this is where you come in.
If you are excited about building structure in chaos, scaling platforms, and leading from the front (not from behind dashboards), this is your opportunity. This is not a maintenance role. This is a build-and-scale mandate.
Role Overview
We are looking for a
Hands-on Engineering Manager
who can:
- Bring execution discipline
- Reduce delivery escalations
- Scale engineering processes
- Align product roadmap with deployments
- Still contribute technically when needed
You will work directly with the Founder and Product Leadership to build a high-performance engineering culture.
This role requires active coding involvement when necessary. This is not a pure people-management role.
Roles & Responsibilities
Engineering Leadership
- Own end-to-end engineering execution
- Introduce sprint discipline, QA rigor, and release governance
- Drive predictable delivery cycles
- Improve engineering velocity without increasing burnout
Hands-On Technical Contribution (Mandatory)
- Review architecture decisions
- Contribute to critical feature builds when needed
- Conduct deep code reviews
- Reduce tech debt strategically
- Improve system stability and scalability
Platform Scaling & Architecture
- Standardize multi-client deployments
- Work closely with Platform/DevOps for infrastructure evolution
- Ensure modular architecture for vertical-specific deployments (Govt / Festivals / Enterprise)
Escalation & Reliability Management
- Reduce production escalations
- Improve monitoring & observability practices
- Drive root cause analysis culture
Team Building & Mentorship
- Hire and mentor engineers
- Define ownership models
- Create performance benchmarks
- Build a culture of accountability
Skills & Expertise Required
Technical Competencies
- Strong backend architecture experience / Python / Java preferred)
- Experience with scalable SaaS systems
- Solid understanding of:
- Microservices architecture
- RESTful APIs
- Multi-tenant systems
- Database design (SQL & NoSQL)
- Cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP)
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
- Experience managing production systems with real clients
Engineering Leadership Competencies
- Experience managing 4–10 engineers
- Strong sprint planning & execution experience
- Experience reducing tech escalations
- Ability to balance roadmap vs custom requirements
- Strong documentation and process orientation
Experience Required
- 6–10 years of total engineering experience
- Minimum 2–4 years in a leadership or tech lead role
- Experience scaling a product from MVP to growth stage preferred
- SaaS startup experience strongly preferred
- Experience working with enterprise/government clients is a plus
What Makes This Role Exciting?
- Direct impact on product direction
- Opportunity to build engineering structure from early stage
- Ownership beyond title
- Exposure to AI-powered ecosystem architecture
- Work on real-world large-scale event deployments
- Fast growth trajectory
Ideal Candidate Profile
You are someone who:
- Loves building structure in high-growth chaos
- Is not afraid to get hands dirty in code
- Thinks in systems, not just tasks
- Can balance speed with stability
- Wants to build something meaningful — not just ship tickets
