About this team

Super engineering has 5 development focus areas: Superapp, fin-tech, travel, e-commerce, and infrastructure & tools.  The Superapp team focuses on building backend and frontend components and services to drive activation, engagement, and loyalty programs cross-vertical – hotels, e-commerce, and fin-tech. This role sits on the Superapp activation team with a mission to help users to get to their first incremental cross-sell. This includes improvements to navigation across different verticals, cross-vertical login, discoverability, system usability score, mobile app experience, and user referral program.

About this role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Superapp activation full-stack engineering team. In this role you will directly oversee 3 full-time engineers (eventually scaling up to 5 engineers), and the team has 2 engineering interns.

In addition, the candidate is a strong communicator (both technical and non-technical topics), interested in continuous learning, and looking forward to working in a startup environment with an emphasis on delivering business value. The ideal candidate is interested in a 25:25:25:25 split between technical leadership : team management : people management : individual contributions initially, shifting to 30:30:30:10 over time.
