Engineering Delivery Manager (Technical Lead)

As an Engineering Delivery Manager at ScriptoFi, you own end-to-end delivery, team coordination, and technical execution across full stack and blockchain products. You ship internal protocols and client engagements to real users on Ethereum mainnet and other EVM networks, working closely with the Dubai office and an international client base. This role combines hands-on Web3 engineering with proven team leadership - both are equally non-negotiable.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end delivery across concurrent projects: timelines, milestones, resourcing, and risk. Drive estimation you stand behind and communicate trade-offs before they become surprises. Run Agile and Scrum ceremonies with discipline, keeping velocity, burn-down, defect rates, and on-time delivery visible. Act as the primary client contact for status, blockers, and schedules, coordinating handoffs across engineering, QA, and DevOps.
• Own blockchain solution design: smart contracts, dApps, wallet integrations, and on-chain/off-chain architecture.
• Maintain contract quality through internal review, gas optimisation, security practice, and audit readiness. Own the external auditor relationship.
• Architect at depth: stack selection, scalability, caching, queuing, microservices, SQL/NoSQL modelling, and API design (REST, GraphQL, WebSockets).
• Set engineering standards for branching, CI/CD, coverage targets, documentation, and release discipline. Hold the team accountable to them.
• Prototype, debug, review, and ship alongside the team where the work requires it.
• Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team spanning full stack, blockchain, and QA. Identify talent gaps and own technical hiring. Conduct performance reviews, create development plans, and build clear growth paths for engineers. Foster a culture of ownership, knowledge sharing, and accountability that eliminates single points of failure.
• Act as a senior technical voice with clients: solution walkthroughs, architecture proposals, progress updates, and technical credibility. Support pre-sales discovery through technical feasibility assessment, effort estimation, and proposal support. Communicate technical progress and risks to leadership in clear, actionable language.

What you bring

• Hands-on Web3 engineering: you have written, tested, and deployed Solidity contracts to mainnet yourself. You can reason about gas economics, common vulnerability classes, and on-chain/off-chain architecture without a specialist present.
• Proven management and leadership: you have led engineering teams directly, owning performance, development, hiring, and delivery accountability.
• Backend skills: Node.js/NestJS plus at least one of Python, Java, or Go.
• Frontend skills: React.js/Next.js with solid TypeScript.
• Data and APIs: SQL and NoSQL modelling, query optimisation, schema design. REST, GraphQL, and WebSockets.
• System design: scalability, caching, queuing, microservices, and OWASP application security.
• Web3 fundamentals: production Solidity, EVM chains, consensus, gas economics, Ethers.js/Web3.js, Foundry or Hardhat, wallet integrations (MetaMask, WalletConnect), ERC-20/721/1155, IPFS, and audit processes.
• Delivery discipline: Agile/Scrum estimation and velocity tracking, managing timelines, budgets, and quality across concurrent projects.
• DevOps: AWS (or Azure/GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring and observability.
• Tooling and communication: Git, Linear/JIRA, APM platforms. Excellent written and spoken English with senior stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience at a Web3 studio, product company, or client-services firm serving international clients and scaling teams through growth phases.
• Background in DeFi, tokenisation, NFT platforms, or permissioned blockchain such as Hyperledger.
• Experience with Layer 2 scaling, cross-chain interoperability, or on-chain data indexing.
• AI-assisted engineering workflows: using coding agents effectively and quality-checking their output with judgment.
• 4+ years as a full stack engineer.

What we offer

• Work on Web3 products that ship to users on Ethereum mainnet.
• Full ownership of delivery outcomes, technical quality, and team growth with direct access to founders.
• Opportunity to hire, mentor, and shape the engineering team and delivery culture.
• Modern stack: Node.js, React, Solidity, and next-generation Web3 tools.
• Flat structure with no bureaucracy and direct input into company direction.
• On-site in Mohali with quarterly travel to Dubai office (7-10 days per visit), plus travel around major client engagements. A valid passport and unrestricted UAE travel eligibility are required.
