Engineering Manager - Telecommunications in Hyderabad, India is listed on Jobeax. Browse 30,000+ vacancies available.
At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life's moments better. Which is why we've built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.
Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.
This is a work-from-office / In-Office role based in our Hyderabad, India location.
Plume is looking for a hands-on engineering leader to build and run a product/feature team that owns the heart of our connectivity product: Wi-Fi optimization, standards-based device management over TR-369 (USP) and TR-181, device provisioning and lifecycle, and the cloud-based controller that orchestrates all of it across WAN and LAN. You will own the roadmap, the architecture and the people for a team of 10-20 engineers spanning embedded, cloud and networking disciplines and you will still be close enough to the code to review a design, debug a customer escalation, and make the hard technical call yourself. Your team's software runs on tens of millions of live gateways and access points at some of the world's largest ISPs, so the decisions you make are felt at real scale, by real subscribers, immediately.
You will work shoulder to shoulder with Product Management, cloud and firmware teams across three continents, and directly with ISP customers. Build, lead and grow a team of 8–12 engineers in Hyderabad — hire, onboard, coach, run 1:1s, set expectations and own performance and career development
Establish the engineering culture for a growing site: high standards on design review, code quality, testing and on-call discipline
Own end-to-end delivery for your feature area: planning, prioritisation, execution, quality and operational health in production
Drive cross-team execution with cloud, firmware, data and QA groups across multiple time zones
Set architectural direction for Wi-Fi optimization, device provisioning and lifecycle management, the cloud controller, and WAN/LAN feature delivery
Own the TR-369 (USP) and TR-181 data model strategy — how the platform is modelled, versioned and evolved across a multi-vendor device fleet
Represent Plume in external forums such as the Broadband Forum, RDK-B, prpl Foundation and the Wi-Fi Alliance
12+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years directly managing or formally leading engineering teams
- A track record of shipping production software in networking, connectivity, broadband CPE or a closely adjacent domain
- Deep, current hands-on strength in at least one of C/C++, Java, Go or Python, and the ability to be technically credible across the rest of the stack
- Strong command of computer networking: Working knowledge of standards-based device management — TR-369 (USP), TR-181, TR-069 — and what it takes to operate a data model across a heterogeneous device fleet
- Experience with device provisioning, zero-touch onboarding, firmware/OTA update flows and device lifecycle at scale
- Experience with cloud-based control planes: distributed systems, microservices, event streaming, stateful services, and the operational reality of running them
- Demonstrated ability to grow engineers, give direct feedback well, and manage performance honestly
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Telecommunications or equivalent practical experience
Bonus Points For
Experience with Wi-Fi optimization or RRM — channel and band steering, mesh topology optimization, client steering, airtime fairness
Applied ML or data-driven optimization in a networking product
Experience working directly with ISPs or telecom operators as a customer
Prior experience standing up or scaling an engineering site or a new team
Contributions to open-source connectivity projects or standards bodies
As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world's largest such as Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and J:COM.
Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume's software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture.
