Job description

About the Role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager with exceptional technical depth in system architecture, solution design, and large-scale software development. This role is ideal for a former Principal Engineer or Senior Tech Lead who can provide both technical leadership and people leadership while driving architectural excellence across Electrum’s digital ecosystem.

You will lead a team of backend, frontend, and mobile engineers to design scalable systems, build reliable applications, and deliver high-quality engineering outputs that support our EV, battery-swapping, and mobility operations. You are expected to set engineering standards, guide architectural decisions, and ensure platform scalability, reliability, and performance as the business grows.

What You Will Do

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Lead architectural direction across backend, mobile, and frontend systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

• Define and own system design patterns, integration architecture, and platform evolution roadmap.

• Review and guide solution designs for new features, integrations, and infrastructure upgrades.

• Drive technical decision-making across engineering squads and ensure alignment with business objectives.

• Lead modernization initiatives including service decoupling, domain-driven design, and cloud-native architecture.

Engineering Execution

• Oversee end-to-end delivery of engineering projects, ensuring high quality and timely execution.

• Provide hands-on support for complex debugging, architecture reviews, performance optimization, and incident resolution.

• Ensure adherence to engineering best practices including code standards, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and automated testing.

• Implement strong reliability engineering practices (monitoring, logging, scaling, fault tolerance).

Team Leadership & People Management

• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of engineers—driving career development, performance reviews, and skill progression.

• Foster a high-performing engineering culture centered on ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Work closely with Product Managers to plan roadmaps, prioritize work, and align technology with business goals.

• Build hiring processes and contribute to recruitment for engineering roles at all levels.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product, Operations, Data, and Business teams to translate needs into scalable engineering solutions.

• Collaborate with DevOps and SRE teams to ensure robust infrastructure and operational excellence.

• Drive cross-team architectural alignment and reduce technical debt across systems.

Quality, Security, and Compliance

• Ensure engineering outputs meet strict reliability, performance, and cybersecurity requirements.

• Oversee security reviews, compliance adherence, and data protection throughout development processes.

• Establish quality metrics, code review processes, and architectural governance guidelines.

What You Bring

• 7–12 years of software engineering experience, including significant time in senior/principal-level roles.

• Strong background in system architecture, distributed systems, and designing large-scale backend services.

• Deep understanding of API design, microservices, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), data flows, and system integrations.

• Hands-on experience with performance optimization, system debugging, and architectural decision-making.

• Proven track record in leading engineering teams and driving end-to-end execution.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience balancing rapid delivery with long-term architectural health and security considerations.

Nice to Have

• Experience in mobility, logistics, IoT, EV platforms, or large operational ecosystems.

• Knowledge of domain-driven design (DDD), event-driven architecture, and scalable data pipelines.

• Background in leading multi-team engineering structures or platform teams.

• Experience with high-availability systems, real-time operations, or telemetry-heavy systems.
