Ignite Your Future: 
As an Engineering Manager at QAD, you will lead an agile engineering team responsible for designing, building, and delivering high‑quality software. You will combine hands‑on technical understanding with people leadership, helping engineers do their best work while delivering meaningful business outcomes.
Active use of AI-native development workflows — Cursor, Claude Code, and CodeRabbit or equivalent — is a baseline requirement, not a nice-to-have. We treat AI augmentation as the standard engineering operating model. Leaders are expected to use these tools personally, set norms for their teams, and demonstrate that AI tooling raises the output of their entire squad. Candidates who view AI tools as optional or experimental are not the right fit for this organization.
 
The Mission: What You'll Be Building
You will guide a team building features and services across QAD’s adaptive, cloud‑native platform, contributing directly to customer‑facing capabilities and platform foundations.
Track Lead for org-wide production stability, observability, and reliability — spanning all five engineering tracks.
 
 
Your Impact/ What you will be doing: 
• Own the full observability stack: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing, and log aggregation
• Define SLOs for every critical service across the ERA platform and own alerting frameworks
• Lead incident management: detection, escalation, resolution, and post-mortem culture
• Build AI-native monitoring workflows — alert triage, runbook generation, and anomaly detection
• Own cloud cost observability and per-team/per-service cost attribution dashboards
