Engineering Manager

**Job Category**:EngineeringProduct

**Job Type**:Full Time

**Job Location**:BandungIndonesia

We are looking for an innovative and hands-on **Engineering Manager** who is passionate about using AI and advanced technologies to create scalable, impactful solutions in education. This role requires strong technical expertise, leadership, and a problem-solving mindset to guide our engineering team in delivering high-quality, mission-driven products.

We value adaptability, ownership, and a commitment to continuous improvement. If you thrive on building systems, leading teams, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and solving complex challenges that change lives, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

**Before You Apply**
This role is not light, routine, or heavily guided. You’ll be expected to handle ambiguity, move quickly across multiple priorities, and deliver production-ready solutions with little to no revision. You must be able to stay calm under pressure, take full responsibility for your tasks, and deliver reliable outputs — even when requirements shift mid-week or feedback requires immediate turnaround.

If you’re seeking a role that will stretch your technical capacity, sharpen your problem-solving, and accelerate your growth, and you’re prepared to meet high expectations, we want to hear from you.

- Drive the development of education technology platforms that are reliable, secure, and user-friendly.
- Experiment with emerging technologies to continuously improve product features and delivery.
- Ensure high-quality execution, from prototyping to deployment and scaling.

**Team Management & Mentorship**
- Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing engineering team.
- Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and accountability.
- Provide technical guidance, performance feedback, and professional development opportunities.
- Ensure efficient allocation of resources and timely delivery of projects.

**Operations & Stakeholder Engagement**
- Oversee system infrastructure, security, and data protection.
