Description

Company Description Help us build the "System of Action" that supercharges global manufacturing teams. QAD is entering a high-velocity era to architect the world’s first AI-native, agentic ERP. We are moving beyond legacy "systems of record" to build an autonomous platform where humans and AI work as a tag team to redefine how factories operate. Join us at this pivotal moment to build our next generation platform, lead the next generation of the Adaptive Enterprise and turn global speed into strategy. Job Description Ignite Your Future: As an Engineering Manager at QAD, you will lead an agile engineering team responsible for designing, building, and delivering high‑quality software. You will combine hands‑on technical understanding with people leadership, helping engineers do their best work while delivering meaningful business outcomes. Active use of AI-native development workflows — Cursor, Claude Code, and CodeRabbit or equivalent — is a baseline requirement, not a nice-to-have. We treat AI augmentation as the standard engineering operating model. Leaders are expected to use these tools personally, set norms for their teams, and demonstrate that AI tooling raises the output of their entire squad. Candidates who view AI tools as optional or experimental are not the right fit for this organization. The Mission: What You'll Be Building You will guide a team building features and services across QAD’s adaptive, cloud‑native platform, contributing directly to customer‑facing capabilities and platform foundations.

Execution-Oriented: Focuses on delivering value consistently and reliably. Technically Curious: Continuously builds technical depth to better support the team. Accountable Owner: Takes responsibility for commitments and outcomes. Collaborative: Works openly with Product, QA, and peer teams. Additional Information Why QAD? You will directly lead, grow, and mentor a high-impact agile team, playing a key role in delivering features on our adaptive, cloud-native platform. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on technical guidance with people leadership, driving real-world product outcomes using modern cloud technologies and contributing to the future of intelligent manufacturing.
