Engineering Manager

About Incresco

Incresco is an AI-driven technology consulting firm. We build across multiple stacks — web and mobile (MERN), cloud, and AI — with our sharpest focus on what's next: AI agents for Salesforce and WhatsApp. We've built our name delivering premium engineering for global clients, fast — production in weeks, not months.

Headquartered in Bangalore with our delivery hub in Coimbatore, we keep teams small and senior, ownership real, and the quality bar high.

The role

Own delivery across our engineering organisation. You lead our practice and team leads (Salesforce, Web/App), and you're accountable for everything we ship landing on scope, on time, and on margin.

You came from engineering and have grown into leading teams — and you're still close to the work. This is a hands-on leadership role: you run the delivery organisation, set the standard, and stay technical enough to earn your engineers respect. It is not a manage-from-a-deck role.

What you'll own

• Delivery across the org — every client project ships on scope, on time, and on margin.
• The engineering leads — lead, coach, and hold accountable the practice/team leads and the QA function.
• Margin & efficiency (the core of this role) — utilization, allocation, and project profitability across the portfolio.
• Process at scale — define and continuously improve how we deliver; Agile/Scrum is the rhythm, not the goal.
• Reporting & analytics — own delivery metrics and dashboards (utilization, margin, velocity, on-time, risk); give leadership a clear, current picture at all times.
• Client coordination — delivery-side status, expectations, scope and change management.
• Risk & escalation — surface risks early, resolve them, escalate with options.

Must-haves

• 8–10 years in engineering, now leading engineering teams — and still hands-on / technically close to the work.
• Has managed other leads or teams, not just individual contributors.
• Owned delivery margin and utilization across multiple concurrent projects.
• Strong Agile/Scrum across teams.
• Excellent client communication — credible with senior stakeholders.
• Analytical — you define and own delivery metrics and reporting.
• Track record of building or improving delivery process as teams scaled.
• We care about capability and hands-on-ness, not a year count. A sharp engineer-turned-leader at the lower end of the range who has run leads and stays close to the work beats a senior manager who's gone hands-off.

Nice-to-have

• Salesforce and/or AI/agent delivery exposure (Agentforce, conversational AI).
• Background at a product-engineering or services/consulting firm working across multiple stacks.

How we'll assess you

Walk me through the engineering org you ran — how you owned margin and utilization, a project that went wrong and how you saved it, how you grew your leads, and the last thing you built or debugged yourself.

We're listening for ownership, commercial instinct, leadership — and that you're still hands-on.
