Director of Engineering, India
We’re hiring a Director of Engineering to build and scale Handshake AI’s engineering organization in India.
This is a rare opportunity to build an engineering organization from the ground up. You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership in the US to hire exceptional engineers, establish our engineering culture, and grow India into a core extension of Handshake AI Engineering.
You’ll begin by building our first engineering teams across Reinforcement Learning Environments (RLE), Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), International Expansion, and other strategic initiatives. As the organization grows, you’ll help shape the technical direction, operating model, and culture of the India engineering organization while ensuring our teams operate as one engineering organization alongside our US teams.
We’re looking for a builder who thrives in zero-to-one environments, moves quickly through ambiguity, attracts exceptional talent, and raises the bar everywhere they go. This role requires someone who combines strong technical judgment with relentless execution, builds trust quickly, and is passionate about building high-performing engineering teams from the ground up.
Location: Bengaluru, India. This is an in-office role.
