Senior Engineering Manager - GenAI at Bidgely · Bengaluru

How You Fit In

This is the perfect role for a hands-on builder with a founder’s mindset and a passion for problem solving at enterprise scale in Generative AI. You will function as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Data Science, Architecture, Security, and the Customer—owning execution, quality, and impact for all GenAI capabilities.

As a technical leader, player-coach, and builder, you will bring strong product sense, GenAI systems knowledge, and a willingness to lead by example. You will manage 6–10 direct reports (applied ML engineers, platform engineers, prompt engineers), personally shape architecture, deliver production systems, and ensure that we build solutions enterprise customers will use—not just demos or experimental features. Your scope includes delivering scalable, secure, enterprise-grade GenAI capabilities embedded across Bidgely’s UtilityAI platform, driving measurable ARR, adoption, and operational leverage.

What You’ll Do

1. GenAI Ownership

• Deliver the GenAI product roadmap across features and SKUs.
• Partner with Product leadership to ensure GenAI initiatives solve real utility pain points.
• Collaborate with Sales/Marketing to enable positioning, demos, and value messaging.
• Track adoption, utilization, token economics, and margin performance.
• Ensure Data Science experimentation aligns with production readiness.
• Safeguard enterprise readiness: performance, latency, compliance, auditability.

2. Hands-On Technical Leadership

• Architect and review LLM-based systems (context management, RAG, agent frameworks, inference pipelines).
• Make build vs. buy decisions across models, orchestration layers, and hosting.
• Establish guardrails for security, PII handling, model evaluation, and data sovereignty.
• Set standards for prompt engineering, evaluation harnesses, observability, and cost control.

3. Team Leadership

• Manage, grow, and develop a high-caliber GenAI team in Bangalore.
• Balance research, platform engineering, and product execution.
• Instill disciplined release management and measurable outcomes.
• Coach engineers into strong system thinkers and product-aware builders.

What Makes You Successful

Within 12–18 months, you will:

• Establish a GenAI revenue line with clear attach rates and margin profile.
• Build production-grade inference architecture with cost visibility and control.
• Implement clear evaluation frameworks for product quality and business value.
• Lead enterprise deployments with regulated utility customers.
• Create a recognized center of excellence for applied GenAI within the company.

Required Skills

• 8–12+ years in software, with 3+ years in ML/AI systems.

• Hands-on experience delivering into production:

  • LLM architectures, agent orchestration patterns
  • Inference optimization and token economics
  • Prompt engineering & evaluation frameworks

• Experience leading 5+ direct reports.

• Strong product instincts with the ability to translate ambiguity into shipped value.

• Comfort debating architecture, cost structures, and GTM implications in the same meetings.

Ideal Background

• Experience building GenAI products in B2B SaaS environments.
• Familiarity with regulated or enterprise verticals.
• Knowledge of cloud-native architectures and containerized deployments.
• Experience designing credit/token-based pricing models.
• Exposure to data-heavy domains (IoT, AMI, telemetry, analytics platforms).
• High ownership, operating like a founder.
• Willingness to write docs, review PRs, and build prototypes.
• Structured thinker who balances speed with enterprise rigor.
• Strong internal diplomat without compromising standards.
