Role Overview

Hire, onboard, coach, and retain engineers; build a strong team culture.
Run effective 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, and career pathing (Intermediate → Senior → Lead).
Address performance issues early with clarity and fairness.
Build team norms around quality, ownership, and collaboration.
Own team delivery health: planning, prioritisation, sequencing, execution, release readiness.
Operate the team’s delivery cadence (sprint-based for Delivery teams; flow/kanban for Platform teams).
Drive clarity of work: crisp tickets, acceptance criteria, dependency mapping, risk management.
Escalate early and solve bottlenecks — process, staffing, tech debt, unclear requirements.
Replace heroics with systems: repeatable processes, guardrails, automation, documentation.
Improve engineering throughput without sacrificing quality (tests, CI/CD hygiene, code review standards, incident learnings).
Build operating mechanisms: definitions of done, incident postmortems, quality gates, release playbooks.
Partner with Product Managers, Data, Infra, and business stakeholders to translate objectives into deliverable plans.
Communicate tradeoffs, timelines, and risks honestly to executives and stakeholders.
Improve the stakeholder experience: clear updates, predictable outcomes, fewer last-minute surprises.
Maintain enough technical depth to evaluate architecture and quality, but not act as the primary implementer.
Partner with Staff / Architects / Lead Engineers on technical direction, tech debt, and platform maturity.
Ensure the team invests appropriately in maintainability, reliability, and security.

Requirements

5–10+ years in software engineering with 3–5+ years leading teams with formal people-management responsibility.
Proven ability to improve delivery predictability and team performance — not just ship a project.
Experience redesigning team culture away from hero-dependency toward scalable, system-driven execution.
Strong coaching capability: you’ve grown engineers, leads, and future managers.
Comfortable operating with ambiguity; can turn messy goals into an execution plan.
Strong written and verbal communication, including stakeholder management across time zones.

Preferred

Experience with distributed teams (PH ↔ AU), including cultural and communication nuance.
Familiar with modern engineering ops: CI/CD, incident management, observability, testing strategies.
Experience in retail / e-commerce, ERP-integrated environments, or operationally heavy domains.

Tech Stack

Benefits

Competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team.
Professional growth and development opportunities.
