The Backend Engineering Manager leads the backend team of our one Tribe – a core pillar in the Be Group super app ecosystem. You will be responsible for driving system reliability, high availability, and backend scalability in a high-traffic environment. You will coach and grow backend engineers while working closely with product, QA, mobile/web, and SRE teams to ensure smooth execution and delivery.

Technical & Delivery Leadership

• Lead the design and development of scalable backend microservices using Golang, gRPC, and MySQL. 
• Drive system design reviews and propose architectural changes (e.g., microservices refactoring, data pipeline optimization). 
• Own core backend domains with high availability and business-critical logic. 
• Ensure system performance and reliability through Redis Cluster, Kafka, and Cadence Workflow. 
• Guide incident prevention and response; run blameless postmortems and improve alert coverage. 
• Champion engineering best practices, including code quality, CI/CD, security, and service modularity. 
• Support system modernization initiatives such as decomposing monoliths, isolating bounded contexts, and enabling service autonomy.

Execution & Process

• Own sprint planning and project delivery within the 2-week sprint cycle.
• Partner with Product Manager, QA Lead, and Mobile/Web EMs to align on scope and unblock delivery.
• Set and track technical KPIs: latency, system uptime, alert noise, test coverage.
• Drive production readiness reviews before release and manage hotfix processes.
• Continuously improve team’s development workflows (e.g., trunk-based dev, feature toggles, canary release) to reduce lead time and increase deployment safety.

People & Team Management

• Coach, mentor, and develop backend engineers across levels (Junior → Staff).
• Facilitate regular 1:1s, goal setting, performance reviews.
• Build a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration.
• Work with HR and Tribe Lead to recruit and grow a high-performing backend team.
• Define and evolve career frameworks and competency models for backend engineers in alignment with company-wide levelling and progression tracks.

Must-have:

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including 1–2+ years in a team/tech lead role.
• Strong experience with Golang and distributed systems in high-load environments.
• Proven leadership in managing cross-functional delivery teams.
• Experience designing scalable APIs, optimizing database queries, and cache strategies.
• Excellent understanding of system observability, incident handling, and cost tracking.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Food Delivery, E-commerce, or Super App platforms.
• Familiarity with Cadence, Elasticsearch, or advanced Redis strategies.
• Passion for coaching engineers and building high-ownership teams.
