Qualifications

• You have at least 8 years of mobile engineering, including leading a small team.
• You still write and review enough mobile code that your team trusts your technical judgment.

• Run the team's engineering practice — review standards, crash‑free rate, release health, on‑call
• Stay close to the work without becoming the bottleneck
• Grow each engineer through 1:1s, goal‑setting, and honest feedback, and surface performance conversations early rather than letting them drift

About Traveloka

Traveloka is Southeast Asia's leading travel and lifestyle super-app. We connect tens of millions of travellers across the region with flights, hotels, experiences, financial services, and more — all from a single platform. Since our founding in 2012, we have expanded to eleven markets, processed billions of dollars in transactions, and built one of the most recognised consumer brands in the region.

We move fast because the region demands it. Southeast Asia is young, mobile‑first, and growing faster than almost anywhere else on earth. We are not transplanting a Western playbook — we are writing a new one, from scratch, for a market that does not look like anywhere else — and we are calling for people who want to be part of that.

About The Team

Financing Engineering builds the systems that make travel more accessible — the credit, instalment, and pay‑later experiences that decide a price is never the barrier between a traveller and their trip. You will engineer real‑time credit decisioning, instalment flows, and payment journeys that hold up across Southeast Asia's wildly different markets, where regulation, credit infrastructure, and consumer readiness are never the same twice.

This is product engineering with real stakes: every checkout you ship moves money and trust. You will own services end to end across backend, web, and mobile, design for resilience and compliance from the first line of code, and watch your work convert into trips taken by millions. If you want to build fintech at consumer scale — and write the playbook for a region the textbooks ignore — this is the team.

About The Job

As a Manager, Mobile Engineering in Traveloka's Financing Engineering team, you own the delivery and the people of a small mobile team — staying hands‑on enough that your direction holds in review, while taking on the first layer of people leadership.

• Own the delivery of Financing mobile commitments through your team — sequence the work, unblock the engineers, and stand behind what ships
• Set the architectural direction for the team's work and hold the quality bar through hands‑on review
• Run the team's engineering practice — review standards, crash‑free rate, release health, on‑call
• Stay close to the work without becoming the bottleneck
• Grow each engineer through 1:1s, goal‑setting, and honest feedback, and surface performance conversations early rather than letting them drift
• Translate roadmap into execution with clear ownership, and represent the team's priorities and push back on scope with evidence
• Set how the team uses AI tools and hold the line on responsible, validated use
