As an Engineering Manager, you will lead the team behind Truecaller's Recommendations and adVantage, our AI-powered performance advertising platform. It is a multi-disciplinary team of ML engineers, data scientists, backend engineers, and data engineers building the retrieval, ranking, and contextual-bandit systems, and the real-time serving and data infrastructure beneath them, that decides what Truecaller recommends and shows to hundreds of millions of users. The role sits at the intersection of technical depth and people leadership: you will set direction across an applied-ML stack, keep a highly specialized team healthy and growing, and turn a research-heavy roadmap into shipped, reliable systems.

- Lead, grow, and retain a high-performing team of ML engineers, data scientists, backend engineers, and data engineers, investing deliberately in each person's development and career path.

- Set technical direction across the recommendation and advertising ML stack - retrieval, ranking, contextual bandits, and conversion modeling - along with the real-time serving and data platforms that support them.

- Own team planning, prioritization, and delivery, balancing near-term product and campaign commitments against long-term platform health.

- Partner closely with product, data science, and other engineering teams to translate business goals - revenue, engagement, advertiser outcomes - into a clear technical roadmap.
