We are WisdomAI. We exist to help people unlock clarity from complexity. WisdomAI builds AI-powered analytics that put answers directly in the hands of the people closest to the business. Our platform doesn’t just surface insights — it explains the why behind them, helping teams move from data to decisions with speed, confidence, and context. We’re trusted by companies like Cisco, Patreon, and Rubrik — and we’re just getting started.The problems here are hard, and the expectations are high. Our team is energized by both. If you’re compelled by ambitious problems, high standards, and meaningful ownership, you’ll thrive here. THE ROLE We're looking for our first Technical Lead & Manager in India. This role will help shape the next chapter of that organization while remaining deeply involved in the technical work itself. HOW WE WORK HANDS-ON LEADERSHIP We don't see management and engineering as separate tracks.Our Technical lead will participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, hiring decisions, and occasionally jump into code themselves. The ideal balance is roughly 40% leadership and 60% technical contribution. Ownership Both the geographies - India and US - own meaningful parts of the product and platform. Engineers are trusted with end-to-end ownership and leaders are expected to create the environment where that ownership thrives.

DEVELOPING FUTURE TECHNICAL LEADERS Many of our engineers are capable of becoming future staff engineers, tech leads, and engineering managers. A significant part of this role is helping them get there through mentorship, coaching, feedback, and career development. RAISING THE HIRING BAR We're actively growing. You'll partner closely with leadership to identify exceptional talent, evaluate candidates, and ensure every hire improves the organization. DRIVING TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE As the organization grows, maintaining a high technical bar becomes harder. You'll help guide architecture discussions, participate in design reviews, review code, and ensure engineering quality scales alongside headcount. BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ANALYTICS From agent orchestration and reasoning systems to distributed data infrastructure and AI-powered user experiences, you'll work alongside the team solving technically ambitious problems at the intersection of AI, data, and enterprise software.
