Technical Lead

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.
