Southern Manila District, Philippines JoyRide Superapp Full time

At JoyRide, our Engineering Managers are not just people managers — they are technical leaders who grew from strong engineering backgrounds and now want to multiply their impact by leading teams. If you are someone whoʼs great at building software but feels ready to step up and lead other engineers — this is the role for you.

You will be responsible for building and continuously improving our engineering practices while strengthening the technical and leadership skills of our engineers. Reporting directly to the Head of Software Engineering, you will collaborate closely with other department heads to ensure company and departmental goals are met, with a strong focus on technical excellence, innovation, and agile delivery.

Weʼre looking for someone who is both highly technical and highly human: youʼll design, challenge, and guide technical decisions while also coaching, inspiring, and enabling your team. Youʼll be creative in implementing software, driven to push limits, and able to balance what the business needs now with what we need to scale for the future.

Responsibilities
  • Lead, mentor, and coach engineering teams while still being close enough to the codebase to guide technical direction.
  • Drive architectural decisions, software design, and technical implementation alongside engineers.
  • Manage multiple teams using current tools and improve agile practices.
  • Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to align priorities, resolve trade-offs, and deliver value.
  • Create a culture of technical excellence, creativity, and accountability.
  • Regularly define and update objectives with the team, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Balance short-term delivery needs with long-term scalability and sustainability. Recruit, develop, and retain top engineering talent.
  • Identify opportunities for innovation in process, tools, and technology.
  • Support budgeting and resource allocation decisions with technical insights.
  • Champion engineering best practices, code quality, testing, and operational excellence.
  • Inspire the team with stretch goals and enable them to achieve success.
Qualifications
  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 5–7 years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2–3 years in technical leadership or management roles.
  • Strong engineering background — proven track record in designing, developing, deploying, and scaling end-to-end software solutions.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to operate in fast-paced environments and balance competing priorities. Strong mentoring and coaching skills; passionate about growing people and teams.
  • Highly creative, able to challenge conventional approaches, and drive innovative solutions. Ability to balance immediate delivery needs with long-term architecture and scalability.
  • Strong leadership skills and sense of accountability.
