Engineering Manager

Job Title : Engineering Manager About Assembly Industries Talent is distributed but Opportunities are not — Assembly Industries is breaking that pattern by building an AI-enabled talent platform that connects top-tier, highly skilled global professionals with innovative companies across the US.

As a fast-growing startup, we are laser-focused on impactful growth, agile strategies, and exceptional results.

Role Overview We’re hiring an Agentic Automations Engineering Manager — a hybrid player-coach who leads engineering delivery across client-facing automation projects while also building and scaling our engineering team.

This is not a back-office management role.

You’ll operate at the intersection of project delivery and talent building, ensuring technical excellence on live client engagements while recruiting and mentoring top-tier engineers and technical product managers.

You’ll partner closely with our CTO, architects, and lead engineers to ensure our delivery teams ship scalable, production-grade automation systems.

At the same time, you’ll help grow the function by driving hiring, onboarding, and team development as Assembly scales in response to client demand.

What You’ll Do Own engineering delivery across multiple automation / AI implementation projects, ensuring scope, quality, and timelines are met   Act as a technical escalation point for engineers and TPMs, resolving blockers and integration challenges   Partner with TPMs, execution leads, and solutions consultants to align engineering feasibility with client needs   Manage and mentor a growing team of AI-focused engineers, providing technical oversight on code quality, APIs, and architecture decisions   Build internal engineering playbooks, reusable modules, and delivery best practices for agentic / automation systems   Drive recruitment of technical talent (engineers, TPMs, AI systems builders), designing pipelines that prioritize curiosity and agency   Lead onboarding and team integration to ensure new hires ramp quickly into our systems and standards   Stay current on trends in agent systems, orchestration frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI), and prompt engineering patterns (CoT, ReAct, ToT)   Collaborate with technical leadership to align delivery with our opinionated architectural stack   Required Experience 6+ years in backend software engineering, automation systems, or AI-enabled infrastructure delivery   2+ years in engineering leadership or technical lead roles   Proven ability to drive project delivery across multiple stakeholders without compromising quality   Strong backend engineering foundation (Java preferred) with experience in microservices, APIs, and task orchestration   Familiarity with NoSQL / document databases and distributed systems   Competence with Python for prototyping and LLM integration   Awareness of LLM system design (prompt chaining, RAG pipelines, orchestration)   Experience recruiting and scaling high-performing technical teams in fast-paced environments   Ability to coach engineers on architecture, code quality, and growth without micromanagement   Bonus Points Hands-on experience building or deploying agentic / LLM-based workflows in production   Familiarity with enterprise deployment strategies for automation systems   Experience in consulting, technical services, or AI-native delivery organizations   You Might Be a Fit If You Love bridging the gap between engineering rigor and fast-moving client delivery   Thrive in high-agency environments where you drive clarity and unblock execution   Are equally motivated by solving technical problems and building strong teams   Balance big-picture technical awareness with hands-on coaching and delivery oversight   This is a remote position open to candidates based in Argentina.
