VP Engineering India

Who We Are
We’re transforming the way global enterprises manage their supply chains.
ParkourSC is an AI-driven supply chain decision intelligence platform built for enterprises that can’t afford to be reactive. We help organizations move from firefighting to foresight — turning fragmented data into clear, confident decisions across planning, inventory, demand, production, and logistics.
Our cloud-based SaaS platform combines advanced analytics, machine learning, and real-time data integration to give your teams visibility across every node of the supply network. From scenario modeling and risk detection to predictive insights and executive dashboards — we bring the whole picture together, so your people can act on it.
We integrate seamlessly with the systems you already rely on — ERP, planning, logistics, and data platforms — through robust APIs and a scalable architecture designed for enterprise complexity. Whether you’re aligning operations or reporting to the boardroom, ParkourSC gives your teams the intelligence to move faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.
We’re Hiring
VP Engineering India
You’ll own engineering execution end to end — from the customer programs we deliver to the platform that makes them repeatable.
As Vice President of Engineering, you’ll lead ParkourSC’s engineering organization from Hyderabad, holding both customer delivery engineering and core platform and product development — and making each reinforce the other. You’ll build the team that carries ParkourSC to the next $50M in ARR and beyond, set the technical bar, and engage global pharmaceutical customers such as GSK, Pfizer, and Merck as the credible technical owner of what we ship. You’ll report to the CEO, with a dotted line to the VP Global Engineering & Chief Architect, and hold a seat on the executive leadership team.
What you’ll do
Customer Delivery Engineering
Own every customer engineering program end to end — scoping, staffing, milestones, quality, and go-live
Drive delivery predictability, with commitments backed by detailed engineering and staffing plans
Serve as the accountable executive for technical escalations and urgent customer needs
Lead validation and compliance support for regulated deployments, including DVT, IQ/OQ/PQ, and GxP audit readiness
Partner with Customer Success, Pre-Sales, and solution engineering on feasibility, sequencing, and commitments
Platform & Product Development
Execute the platform roadmap across the data foundation, digital twin, ontology, orchestration and intelligence layer, APIs, agents, and applications
Own architecture across the stack, with a bias toward simplification and deployment into customer tenancies
Run engineering operations, including sprint discipline, release management, CI/CD, test automation, observability, and cost control
Uphold security and audit posture, including SOC 2, data residency, tenant isolation, and access management
Turn one-off customer work into productized, reusable capability rather than bespoke debt
Lead the technical integration of the Quartic.ai engineering team and capability into the platform
Build the AI application engineering team that designs the agent harness, agents, and multi-agent network
Raise engineering velocity with AI tool-based development best practices, and train the team on them
Organization & Leadership
Design and scale the India engineering center as a GCC across platform, applications, data, data science, delivery, DevOps, and quality
Hire, develop, and retain senior technical talent, raising the bar with every hire
Establish technical career ladders, performance management, and succession for key roles
Set an engineering culture of high ownership, low ceremony, and evidence over opinion
Manage vendor and partner engineering firms, including commercial terms, quality bar, and IP and data-handling obligations
What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline; Master’s strongly preferred
15–20 years of engineering experience, progressing from hands-on, architect-level work to senior leadership
Significant experience in product engineering organizations at scale, with successful platform products delivered
Substantial experience leading engineering teams in India for global product companies or multinationals
Experience building and scaling teams of 30–100+ engineers across multiple functions and locations
Startup or early-stage experience building without scaffolding in small teams
2+ years of hands-on experience with AI tools and modern AI platforms such as Claude or OpenAI
Direct experience owning technical relationships with large, regulated enterprise customers
Deep expertise in cloud-native data architecture, streaming and event pipelines, and enterprise multi-tenant SaaS
Experience with integration-heavy systems, including ERP, LIMS, MES, WMS, TMS, EDI, and IoT telemetry
Production experience with applied AI and agentic systems, including retrieval, knowledge graphs, evaluation, and guardrails
Strong distributed systems fundamentals across reliability, data consistency, performance, and observability
Nice to have
Life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical device, or other regulated industry experience (GxP, CSV, 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11)
Supply chain, manufacturing, or industrial IoT domain background
Experience integrating an acquired engineering team into a single platform and culture
Experience taking a company through a significant scaling inflection, Series B and beyond
Location
Hyderabad, India — on-site / hybrid
You’ll thrive here if you’re…
A working architect who still reads code, reviews designs, and can whiteboard a system end to end
Comfortable in ambiguity, and able to turn directional guidance into a sequenced plan
A natural leader whom engineers follow for judgment and credibility, not title
A clear, concise communicator in writing and in the room, including with pharma CIOs and Heads of Supply Chain
Genuinely passionate about building products and technology
