The Role

Reporting to : SVP – Operations

Function : Engineering & Product Operations

Partners With : VP Engineering, VP Product, QA Leadership, Architecture, Release Management, CS Ops, and PS Ops

The Director of Engineering Operations (EngOps) is a mission-critical leadership position responsible for driving predictable delivery, high product quality, rigorous governance, and AI-powered engineering insights across the product lifecycle.

As Innovapptive scales from $15M → $50M ARR towards Vision 2028 , this role will build and operationalize a world-class Engineering Operating System — transforming our engineering organization into a predictable, data-driven, and AI-first product delivery engine.

  • This is not a coordination role;
  • it is a leadership role — a mini-COO for Engineering — focused on turning engineering data into actionable insights, driving cross-functional accountability, and elevating engineering execution maturity.

    How You Will Make an Impact :

    1. Release Governance & Delivery Predictability

  • Own the end-to-end release governance model (monthly, quarterly, LTS, and patch releases).
  • Establish disciplined engineering calendars, code freeze policies, and deployment playbooks.
  • Improve sprint predictability, track planned vs. delivered velocity, and enforce scope control.
  • Lead release readiness reviews with Product, QA, and Engineering Managers.
  • Set and monitor automated quality gates for every release.
  • 2. Quality, Stability & RCA Discipline

  • Build a rigorous system for defect management and regression detection.
  • Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for every major issue — ensuring systemic fixes.
  • Strengthen test coverage, regression gates, and environment stability.
  • Implement SLOs for uptime, performance, and release stability.
  • 3. Engineering Analytics & AI-Powered Insights

  • Build and own Engineering Intelligence Dashboards across Jira, TestRail, Sentry, and Smartsheet.
  • Deliver a Weekly Engineering Intelligence Report : insight → action → accountability.
  • Automate RCA, regression detection, and reporting via AI / LLM workflows.
  • Predict delays, detect bottlenecks, and forecast risks with actionable insights.
  • 4. Cross-BU Alignment & Friction Removal

  • Create alignment across Engineering, Product, QA, PSO, and Customer Success.
  • Define ownership handshakes, SLAs, and workflows to eliminate ambiguity.
  • Prioritize engineering issues based on customer impact and escalations.
  • Drive engineering commitments aligned with customer-facing teams.
  • 5. Environment, DevOps & Deployment Stability

  • Ensure development, QA, UAT, and production environments remain stable and monitored.
  • Partner with DevOps to strengthen CI / CD reliability and deployment success.
  • Implement AI-driven anomaly detection for crashes, logs, and infrastructure signals.
  • 6. AI-First Engineering Transformation

  • Lead 6–8 high-impact AI operationalization projects across Engineering, QA, and Product.
  • Replace manual updates and coordination with autonomous, AI-driven governance.
  • Drive automation in reporting, RCA, and operational decisioning.
  • 7. Leadership, Coaching & Organizational Uplift

  • Elevate engineering culture towards clarity, discipline, and predictability.
  • Coach Engineering and QA leaders on planning, ownership, and accountability.
  • Establish KPIs, operating rhythms, and execution habits aligned with Vision 2028.
  • What You Bring to the Team :

    Experience

  • 12–15 years in Engineering, QA, DevOps, or Program Management;
  • 7+ years in EngOps leadership.

  • Proven success in B2B SaaS (Enterprise SaaS strongly preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to stabilize engineering delivery and improve release quality.
  • Familiarity with CI / CD, automation, observability, and reliability systems.
  • Experience operating with C-suite visibility and influence.
  • Skills

  • Expert in SDLC, Agile / Scrum, Jira workflows, TestRail, and observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, etc.).
  • Strong analytical mindset with ability to connect cross-system data into insights.
  • Excellent executive communication and dashboarding skills.
  • Ability to design AI-driven operational and governance systems.
  • Leadership Traits

  • High accountability and ownership mindset.
  • Systems thinker and decisive leader.
  • Calm under pressure, collaborative, and low-ego.
  • Obsessed with quality, predictability, and continuous improvement.
  • Operates with urgency — without chaos.
  • Customer-obsessed and impact-driven.
  • Why This Role Matters

    This role directly impacts :

  • Release predictability
  • Product stability
  • Defect leakage reduction
  • Customer escalations
  • Engineering → Product → Customer alignment
  • Cross-BU accountability
  • On-time delivery commitments
  • Adoption & renewal outcomes (NRR / GRR)
  • Vision 2028 execution cadence
  • This is one of the highest-leverage leadership roles at Innovapptive in 2025.

    What We Offer

  • Opportunity to build the Engineering Operating System for a global SaaS scale-up.
  • Pivotal role shaping product stability and customer experience across industries.
  • Direct partnership with CEO, SVP Ops, SVP Engineering, Product, and Customer Success leaders.
  • Lead Innovapptive’s AI-first transformation in engineering operations.
