Role Overview:

• We are seeking a visionary, hands-on Engineering Head to lead the technology and engineering charter for our Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) vertical. This role

will drive innovation, scalable architecture, and agile delivery across the spectrum of client engagements, product builds, and platform solutions anchored in AI, cloud, data, and digital engineering.

• You will be at the forefront of reimagining TMT industry capabilities using agentic AI, modern software engineering, and data-native architectures, ensuring clients

are not just transformed but continuously transforming.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Engineering Leadership

• Define and own the engineering vision for TMT clients across telecom, media

streaming, and tech product segments.

• Shape next-gen offerings in network intelligence, hyper-personalized content, 5G

edge AI, content moderation at scale, and autonomous operations.

Client-Facing Innovation & Delivery

• Translate client business priorities into scalable architectures and tech strategies.

• Lead complex transformation engagements involving AI/ML, cloud-native

systems, low-latency platforms, and real-time personalization engines.

• Act as a technology advisor and engineering partner to CXOs and CTOs.

Platform & Product Engineering

• Spearhead the development of proprietary platforms, accelerators, and solutions

tailored for the TMT space.

• Apply modern engineering paradigms: microservices, event-driven design, CI/CD,

DevSecOps, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Drive adoption of agentic systems to autonomously orchestrate media workflows,

telco operations, and customer journeys. Talent Leadership & Engineering Culture

• Hire, mentor, and inspire high-performance engineering talent with deep TMT

domain know-how.

• Foster a fail-fast, build-fast culture leveraging experimentation, hackathons, and

rapid prototyping.

• Scale teams across geographies with engineering rigor and cultural cohesion.

Qualifications & Experience:

• 20+ years of experience in technology or engineering leadership roles, with

significant exposure to TMT sectors.

• Proven delivery experience across AI/ML, streaming architectures, cloud-native

platforms, edge computing, or telco BSS/OSS systems.

• Deep understanding of agile engineering, full-stack systems, and AI integration.

• Strong client leadership experience ideally in consulting, product engineering, or

digital services firms.

• Experience in working with agentic systems, LLMOps, or AI-first platforms is a plus.

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience in a hyperscaler, media-tech product company, or telecom

network analytics space.

• Exposure to digital twin models, network planning AI, ad tech systems, or content

recommendation engines.
