Bjakcareer Engineering Manager at BJAK leading a high-performing engineering team building products for millions of users. Responsible for engineering delivery, architecture decisions, and team development.
Responsibilities
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing engineering team building and scaling products used by millions of users across the region.
This role is for a strong technical leader who can lead engineers, make sound architecture and engineering decisions, and drive products and systems from idea to production. You will be responsible for both the quality of the engineering team and the quality and speed of what the team ships.
You should be comfortable operating across people, product and technology — setting a high engineering bar while keeping the team focused on delivering real customer and business outcomes.
Lead and manage a team of engineers across frontend, backend and full stack development.
Own engineering delivery for major product areas, ensuring the team ships quickly without compromising reliability and technical quality.
Work closely with product, design, mobile, backend and AI teams to turn ambiguous product problems into clear technical execution.
Drive technical architecture and engineering decisions across APIs, databases, integrations, infrastructure and customer-facing systems.
Set engineering standards around code quality, system design, testing, observability, security and production reliability.
Stay close to the technical work through architecture reviews, code reviews, debugging and critical engineering decisions.
Develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, performance management and clear expectations.
Identify performance gaps early and take ownership of raising the team's engineering and execution bar.
Improve engineering processes, tooling and automation to help the team move faster and operate at scale.

Strong technical depth across backend, frontend, APIs, databases, distributed systems or cloud infrastructure.
Able to make sound architecture and technical trade-offs while balancing speed, scalability and maintainability.
Strong track record of taking products or systems from idea through development, launch and production.
Comfortable reviewing technical designs, challenging engineering decisions and debugging complex production issues.
Strong people leadership with the ability to coach engineers, manage performance and build high-performing teams.
Strong product sense and ability to connect engineering decisions to customer and business outcomes.
Able to work fast with ambiguity, establish priorities and drive teams toward clear outcomes.
Strong ownership mentality — when something breaks or delivery slips, you take responsibility for getting it back on track.
