Research and Development Group Manager

About Us

SOURCIX is building the intelligence layer for manufacturing procurement.

We help engineering and supply chain teams make faster, more accurate sourcing decisions through a suite of AI-powered tools that transform technical drawings, BOMs, and supplier data into actionable insights.

From drawing verification to vendor matching and AI-driven cost estimation, SOURCIX creates a seamless, automated workflow that connects design, engineering, and sourcing, helping companies reduce working time, lower costs, and bring products to market faster.

Our modular platform is already used by leading hardware companies and suppliers to validate mechanical drawings, extract BOM data, estimate pricing, and match with the right vendors – all powered by domain-specific AI that understands the real structure of manufacturing data.

SOURCIX has successfully raised its seed funding round and is now entering a major scaling phase, building the foundation for rapid growth and global market expansion.

Position Overview

We're looking for a R&D Group Manager to scale SOURCIX's technical organization through its next stage of growth.

As our senior engineering leader, you'll work directly with the founders to build and scale a world-class engineering team, own execution across multiple product lines, and set the long-term technical vision for our AI platform and procurement intelligence engine.

You'll be responsible for leading both core product development (Smart Tools, Marketplace, Platform APIs) and ML/DL infrastructure (computer vision, geometry understanding, and LLM-based reasoning).

This is an opportunity to define the engineering culture and technical foundation of a company that's reshaping industrial procurement with AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead engineering execution across all SOURCIX products – from backend systems and AI pipelines to frontend dashboards.
• Recruit, grow, and mentor a high-performing team of engineers, scaling from the founding group to 10+ within 18–24 months.
• Establish technical excellence, processes, and architecture that enable speed, scalability, and quality.
• Collaborate closely with founders on product strategy, feature prioritization, and long-term R&D roadmap.
• Define engineering KPIs that align with business goals – uptime, performance, data accuracy, model throughput, and delivery velocity.
• Foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and accountability.
• Contribute beyond code – help shape the company's direction, product-market fit, and customer impact.

Qualifications

• You've led or been part of an early-stage startup (first 3–10 engineers) and helped it scale to 20+ employees.
• 3–5+ years of engineering management experience with proven results.
• Strong background in software architecture, AI/ML systems, or data-intensive products.
• Experience shipping complex, scalable platforms in B2B SaaS or data-driven environments.
• You've worked at or built teams inspired by world-class product engineering organizations – ideally from companies like , Wix, Fiverr, SimilarWeb, Lemonade, or other high-bar Israeli tech companies.
• You've built teams that ship fast without sacrificing technical rigor.
• You have a systems mindset – you know how to design processes, not just features.
• Bonus: experience with computer vision, geometry processing, PDF/CAD parsing, or procurement/manufacturing platforms.

You Can Demonstrate

• Real examples of scaling systems, teams, and processes.
• A thoughtful approach to hiring, team design, and technical decision-making.
• The ability to balance engineering depth with business pragmatism.
• A track record of building reliable, elegant, and data-intelligent products.

Why SOURCIX

• Transform a global industry: Mechanical procurement is slow, manual, and opaque. You'll help build the platform that changes that.
• Deep AI challenges: From interpreting 2D drawings to matching suppliers via geometry and tolerance data.
• Ownership: You'll be the architect of SOURCIX's engineering culture and systems.
• Impact: Your work will directly affect how manufacturers, engineers, and suppliers collaborate worldwide.
