eRetail Engineering Manager / AI-Driven Delivery (all genders)
Why Valtech? We’re the experience innovation company - a trusted partner to the world’s most recognized brands. To our people we offer growth opportunities, a values-driven culture, international careers and the chance to shape the future of experience.
At Valtech, you’ll find an environment designed for continuous learning, meaningful impact, and professional growth. Whether you're pioneering new digital solutions, challenging conventional thinking or building the next generation of customer experiences, your work will help transform industries.
We are proud of:
Valtech is a strategic partner for this client, responsible for the design, delivery, and operation of large-scale digital platforms across eRetail and Retail.
Having industrialized e-commerce delivery at scale, the engineering organization now needs a leader who can both run the factory — owning engineering and track the Delivery on quality, production performance day to day — and drive AI as a core acceleration lever across the engineering value chain: developer productivity, code quality, testing, and production operations.
This is not primarily a governance or transformation-program role. It is an engineering leadership role with direct delivery accountability, where AI adoption is a strategic priority embedded in how the factory operates, not a parallel initiative.
Reporting to the Valtech Client Partner and Valtech Directors for this client, you own and lead engineering delivery within the client eRetail factory —build quality, delivery predictability, and production reliability — while driving the adoption of AI-native tooling and practices to accelerate engineering throughput and quality.
Act as the direct engineering leader for the factory, with hierarchical and operational accountability for the engineering teams (France/India), and as the AI adoption lead within engineering, in coordination with the AI Transformation Program Manager on cross-domain initiatives.
