Description
Hey, mabuhay! 👋
Thanks for dropping by. We know looking for the right job can feel like being stuck in EDSA traffic, so we’ll keep it moving and get straight to the point.
With over 8 million downloads and a powerful network of thousand of dedicated biker-partners, we are a leading ride-hailing platform operating across the Philippines. Our vision is to end poverty in the Philippines through revolutionary transportation solutions. We aim to provide our customers with convenient, reliable, and safe rides, impacting millions of lives positively every single day.
Now, we're looking for a Head of Engineering. You will lead our multi-team engineering organization across our customer and driver apps, backend platforms, and operations tools, while spearheading our transition to an AI-native organization.
Responsibilities:
- Keep mission-critical services reliable. Build robust, highly available systems at scale, designed to self-heal and backed by tested failover and disaster recovery for critical workflows.
- Lead incidents end to end. Take command when things break, coordinate across engineering, SRE, and Ops, drive rigorous RCAs, and put preventive measures in place so issues don't recur.
- Build a healthy, high-performing org. Grow the engineering organization through hiring as well as career and skill development. Set a culture of ownership and align teams around clear goals and metrics.
- Deliver the roadmap predictably. Work with Product to shape features and sharpen scope, ensuring solutions are scalable, well architected, and built as reusable platforms. Keep commitments predictable, rescue projects that drift, and make releases safe.
- Set the technical bar. Quality-gate architecture and designs for scalability, security, and cost before they reach the CTO, and provide senior technical direction across squads.
- Raise the bar on velocity and stability. Establish meaningful delivery and reliability metrics for our systems and teams, use them to spot bottlenecks, and remove what slows engineers down.
- Lead the shift to AI-native engineering. Use AI to improve developer experience: remove friction and toil from how engineers build, review, ship, and operate, and drive measurable gains in speed, quality, and system health.
At Angkas, we believe in giving our people the trust and flexibility to work in a way that helps them and their teams perform at their best. Whether you’re working onsite, remotely, or in a hybrid setup, we provide the flexibility, you bring the drive. ⚡
Let’s get this show on the road!🚦
