Job Description & How to Apply Below
Drive lah and Drive mate are peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms operating in Singapore and Australia
respectively. We connect car owners with people who need a vehicle, making car access more flexible and
affordable for everyone. As a fast-growing mobility technology company, we build and maintain web and
mobile platforms used by thousands of users across two markets. We operate as a remote-first team that
values ownership, trust, and speed.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager who can lead from the front; someone who
combines strong technical depth with the ability to build and grow high-performing teams. In this role, you
will fully own backend architecture and engineering, including devops and infrastructure, while providing
technical leadership and support to our frontend and QA teams.
This role is best suited for someone who combines strong technical knowledge with excellent people
management skills and enjoys working in dynamic startup environments. A non-negotiable for this role is a
genuine, working fluency with AI coding tools - Cursor, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent. We are not looking
for curiosity about AI; we are looking for someone already building with it daily and leading others to do
the same.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Delivery
• Own backend architecture and engineering decisions end-to-end, including system design, scalability,
and API design.
• Take hands-on responsibility for dev ops, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, & deployment practices.

• Set QA standards, tooling direction, and quality gates, without being hands-on in test writing.
• Drive adoption of AI coding tools and modern engineering practices across the team.
• Ensure high code quality, reliability, and performance across all platforms.
Team & Cross-Functional
• Lead, mentor, and manage a distributed team of backend, frontend, and mobile engineers.
• Conduct regular 1-on-1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations.
• Support hiring and onboarding of engineers as the team scales.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, QA, and Operations teams.
• Translate business requirements into clear, scalable technical solutions.
• Participate in sprint planning, roadmap discussions, and delivery management.
• Proactively identify risks, blockers, and dependencies.
