Manik Singhal — Director of Engineering
Engineering Leader with 14+ years of experience at Adobe, specializing in navigating product & team through high-stakes technical transitions and domain shifts. My approach combines deep technical intuition with a strategic business lens to ensure engineering efforts translate into long-term product value. I focus on strategic influence and engineering-led thought leadership to navigate the product multi year roadmap to invest in the right technical direction for the longer term, stay at pace with latest emerging technologies, while ensuring enhanced user and business value as the outcome. I believe in a "Design-First" engineering culture and building independent, high-accountability teams that value quality and structured execution as much as innovation. I believe that engineering rigor is the greatest enabler of creative freedom. I can thrive in "0-to-1" environments and open-ended, complex engineering initiatives. My hands-on passion for technology allows me to dive deep into new domains quickly, enabling me to de-risk projects, optimize resources, and lead teams through technical ambiguity with reliability and speed. I am very much detail oriented and strive towards optimising available resources.
