BukuWarung is building the digital and financial infrastructure for millions of underserved merchants.
We operate at the intersection of payments, credit, software, and commerce. As we scale toward serving 1M+ merchants, our engineering organization must evolve from fast-moving startup to disciplined, high-scale platform company, without losing speed.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager who still thinks like a builder.
The Mission
Own a squad end-to-end. Drive execution without sacrificing architecture. Raise the bar on both velocity and engineering depth.
This is not a coordination role. This is a leadership role with hands-on technical credibility.
What You Will Do
- Lead a cross-functional squad (engineering + product alignment)
- Translate business outcomes into robust technical execution plans
- Drive realistic commitments and intelligent pushback when needed
- Ensure system design rigor before implementation
- Mentor engineers and grow future senior talent
- Improve sprint predictability and flow efficiency
- Partner closely with architecture and platform teams to ensure scalable solutions
- Foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and high standards
You will be accountable not just for delivery, but for how delivery happens.
What We’re Looking For
- 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with prior experience as an EM or Tech Lead managing teams
- Strong backend system design experience (distributed systems, APIs, data modeling, reliability patterns)
- Ability to review and challenge architectural decisions
- Experience delivering production-grade systems at scale
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- Ability to balance speed with long-term maintainability
You should be equally comfortable:
- Reviewing a pull request
- Debating architecture trade-offs
- Coaching a mid-level engineer
- Pushing back on unrealistic timelines
- Translating product ambition into engineering reality
