About the Job

Requirements

A track record of owning delivery of enterprise or logistics software in production, ideally warehouse management systems (WMS), warehouse execution systems (WES), transportation management systems (TMS), or ERP-integrated systems.
Experience scaling products from a few customers to many, making applications configurable rather than rebuilding them for each customer.
Experience designing API-first, service-based systems for other teams to build on, with sound judgment about where business logic should reside.
Hands-on practice with test-driven development and automated testing, and a record of raising the quality bar of teams led.
Experience with formal modeling of enterprise systems, including domain, process, and data models, and building systems that handle data and execution at scale.
Demonstrated leadership and potential for further growth, grounded in fit with the company's core values and technical credibility, including building or scaling a team.
Exposure to real operations through go-lives, customer integrations, or support escalations.
Comfort using AI-assisted development and building AI-enabled features.
Business-level English and experience working with distributed teams.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end delivery of warehouse applications for warehouse operations, including inventory, orders, workflows, and operational visibility, from roadmap through production.
Ensure business logic remains in the shared platform and is exposed through open APIs; bring AI into applications where it improves warehouse operations.
Make quality the default by practicing test-driven development and automating testing across applications, APIs, and integrations so releases can ship safely and frequently.
Make integrations with customers' ERP and host systems repeatable so go-lives require configuration rather than custom projects.
Translate roadmaps and customer deployments into executable squad plans and keep releases predictable.
Work across time zones with engineering, product, and support teams in Tokyo.
Lead and grow one to two squads in Chennai; hire and coach team members, provide timely feedback, address underperformance, and develop tech leads to own design within their squads.

Engineering Manager - Warehouse Applications

Rapyuta Robotics · Chennai, India · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-10

Workplace: on_site

Department: Engineering

Description

Rapyuta Robotics, an ETH Zurich spinoff headquartered in Tokyo, operates with the goal of making robots more accessible to anyone in the logistics industry. We seek individuals who believe that collaborative work leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes, and who are fearless in challenging limits, whether within themselves or in their surroundings.

You will build and lead our warehouse applications team in Chennai. The team builds the applications that run warehouse operations: inventory, orders, workflows, dashboards and integration with customers' ERP and host systems, for both our ASRS and AMR products. The applications are deliberately thin: the intelligence lives in a shared platform layer, and the apps expose it through clear workflows and open APIs.

Requirements

Responsibilities

Warehouse applications: Own the applications that run warehouse operations, with or without robots (inventory, orders, workflows and operational visibility), end to end, from roadmap to production.
Thin, API-first design: Make sure business logic stays in the shared platform and is exposed through open APIs that customers and partners can build on. Bring AI into the applications where it improves how warehouses are run.
Quality first: Make quality the default, not a final gate. Practice test-driven development and automate testing across applications, APIs and integrations, so releases are safe to ship often.
Enterprise integration: Make integration with customers' ERP and host systems repeatable, so go-lives become configuration rather than custom projects.
Delivery: Turn the roadmap and customer deployments into plans the squads can execute, and keep releases predictable. Work across time zones with engineering, product and support in Tokyo.
People: Lead and grow one to two squads in Chennai. Hire, coach, give timely feedback and address underperformance. Grow tech leads who can own design inside their squads.

Requirements

A track record of owning delivery of enterprise or logistics software in production, ideally WMS, WES, TMS or ERP-integrated systems.
Experience taking products from 10 to 100: turning an application that works for a few customers into one that is configured, not rebuilt, for many.
Experience designing API-first, service-based systems that others build on, with strong opinions on where business logic should and should not live.
A quality-first mindset, with hands-on practice of test-driven development and automated testing, and a record of raising the quality bar of the teams you lead.
Experience with formal modeling of enterprise systems (domain, process and data models) and with building systems that handle data and execution at scale.
Demonstrated leadership and potential to grow further, grounded in fit with our core values and technical credibility, including building or scaling a team.
Exposure to real operations: go-lives, customer integrations or support escalations.
Comfort using AI-assisted development and building AI-enabled features.
Business-level English and experience working with distributed teams.
