You will lead a hands-on engineering role as Engineering Manager for Backend, owning technical direction and delivery for a team of 15–20 distributed across different locations.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Direction: Own the overall architecture and technology choices for systems under your remit, with final accountability for reliability, performance, and evolution. Contribute to design and code review on critical modules, and go hands-on to diagnose and decide on high-complexity or high-risk problems. Identify and pay down technical debt, making explicit trade-offs between delivery pace and system health. Drive adoption of AI tooling across the team's workflow (requirements breakdown, coding, testing, code review, documentation) and establish verifiable standards for output quality.
Delivery & Team: Take on business requirements end-to-end: scope breakdown, scheduling, and resource allocation, owning scope, quality, and timeline. Build durable relationships with product, business, and upstream/downstream teams, maintaining steady delivery rhythm amid frequent requirement changes. Lead a distributed team across four locations by establishing async collaboration norms and information-sharing mechanisms so remote members have equal access to information and opportunity. Own goal-setting, performance evaluation, and growth paths for your team; identify high performers, address gaps, and make personnel changes where necessary. Participate in hiring: define candidate profiles, uphold technical interview standards, and own team talent density.
Requirements:
- 8+ years in backend engineering, including 3+ years leading teams with direct ownership of a team of 10 or more
- Strong engineering depth in Golang with proven experience designing and shipping high-concurrency, distributed systems
- End-to-end delivery experience from business requirement to production, with ability to challenge and shape requirements from a technical standpoint
- Experience managing distributed or remote teams with realistic understanding of async collaboration costs and limits
- Able to work in Mandarin for technical discussion and management communication; professional reading and writing proficiency in English
- Eligible to work in Singapore or eligible for an Employment Pass
Preferred:
- Background in digital-asset trading systems
- Experience with systems for derivatives, options, or structured products
- Track record of building or restructuring teams during rapid growth
- Established personal practice of working alongside AI in daily engineering and ability to turn that into team-wide norms
