Engineering Manager - Consumer
You will run an engineering team in PropertyGuru's Consumer tribe. You ship on web and app.

You work alongside strong engineers and bring the judgement to tell a sound design from one that needs more work.

What your team owns

Core consumer journeys on the website and the mobile app, across our Southeast Asian markets.

How people find a property, and how they reach an agent.

A conversion metric that is yours. You are measured on it.

What you will do

Ship: Release to web and app every week. Own the result on both.

Own the design: Review anything risky before code is written. Set the guardrails. Say no to a weak design and explain why.

Own the funnel: Know where users drop off. Form a hypothesis. Run the experiment. Know why your number moved.

Own production: Instrument the flow end to end. Set the alerts. Lead the incident when it breaks.

Fix what is broken: Some things here are. Pick them up without being asked.

Grow the team: Hire, coach and promote engineers. Give direct feedback.

Work as one team with product, design and QA. No handoffs over the wall.

Tech we work with every day:
Web: TypeScript, React and Next.js in a shared monorepo.

App: React Native.

Backend: A BFF layer over backend services, behind a Kong gateway. Elasticsearch for search. Redis for caching.

Infra: Kubernetes, one deployment per market.

Observability: Datadog and Kibana.

What we look for

You manage a team and still go deep. You can explain why your system is built the way it is, two layers down, with nobody else in the room.

You have shipped consumer-facing product on web or app, and a conversion metric has been your own number.

You ask scoping questions before you design. Given an unfamiliar problem, say authentication for a new API, you can reason your way to a sound design.

You can build guardrails for contribution quality. Standards, reviews and checks that hold as more people contribute.

You are honest with numbers. You know the baseline, how it was measured, and what else changed.

You act. Your stories start with "I noticed", not "I was assigned".

Our commitment to you:

• Hybrid flexible working that focuses on outcomes over hours.

• Holistic rewards package covering your financial, physical & mental health.

• Multi-directional career development across all levels.

• Inclusive benefits like equal paternity leave, supporting all employees in work-life balance.
