About The Company

EROAD is a global fleet management technology company, providing GPS tracking, video telematics, compliance automation and driver safety tools to fleet operators, and this Tech Lead role is opening within a Manila delivery squad as the team builds AI-native ways of working into its engineering practice.

What You'll Do

As Tech Lead you'll sit inside a delivery squad and stay close to the code while shaping how the team works.

• Lead developers through design, implementation, review and delivery
• Unblock engineers and keep design decisions moving
• Decompose engineering tasks between AI agents and human judgement
• Review AI-generated code and catch failure modes before they reach production
• Coach the squad on using AI tools well without lowering the quality bar
• Stay hands-on with implementation across EROAD's SaaS platform
  
  

What You Need

To thrive in this role you'll bring hands-on technical leadership plus real depth in modern backend engineering.

• Real-world experience using AI coding tools or agents in production engineering work
• Production experience with Java and/or C# Cloud-native development experience on AWS with Java/Spring, or Azure with .NET
• Microservice architecture and RESTful API design experience
• Experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL or SQL Server
• Automated testing design and implementation across unit, component and integration levels
• Experience with Git, trunk-based development and CI/CD
  
  

Beyond the essentials, we'd love to see basic monitoring and observability experience, and any exposure to agentic workflows such as task decomposition, context management or multi-step agent use is a genuine plus. JavaScript or React front-end integration, event-driven AWS services like Kinesis, SQS or DynamoDB, GIS, payments or high-throughput transactional systems, and Kubernetes or Terraform would all round out the profile nicely, though none of these are essential.

WHY JOIN

This is a genuine individual-contributor technical leadership track, not a people-management role, giving you scope to shape design and delivery while staying hands-on.

• Work at the leading edge of AI-native engineering, with real influence over how the squad adopts AI tools and agents
• Be part of a high-growth, publicly listed technology company operating across New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines and the USA
• Work alongside a talented and collaborative engineering team
• Continuous learning support, EAP offerings and AI tooling to help you grow
• Competitive benefits package
• Hybrid work arrangement: 4 days onsite (Monday to Thursday) and 1 day work from home (Friday)
• 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM PHT shift with a semi-flexible start and end time, subject to team and business requirements.
