Engineering Manager - Ruby on Rails

Engineering Manager

• Location: Remote (AU/NZ preferred)
• Salary: $170K–$190K AUD + super (flexible for the right person)
• Start Date: ASAP

I’m working with a well-established SaaS company in the logistics space that’s scaling its engineering leadership across Australia and New Zealand. They’ve built a strong product with great market fit, and now they’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a remote-first team and help take things to the next level.

The platform is built in Ruby on Rails, so deep experience there is key. You’ll be leading a small, distributed team across Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia, working closely with the GM and other leaders in marketing, sales, and support.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading and mentoring a remote engineering team (currently 6–7 people)
• Staying hands-on with Ruby on Rails while guiding technical direction and delivery
• Working closely with leadership across product, DevOps, and operations
• Driving architecture decisions, team structure, and long-term engineering culture
• Bonus is you have ISO compliance and best practices in security and performance

What They’re Looking For

• Solid experience leading engineering teams in a remote or distributed setup
• Strong hands-on background in Ruby on Rails (this is non-negotiable)
• Familiarity with ISO standards or relevant certifications
• Experience in logistics, fleet management, or SaaS is a bonus
• Someone who’s collaborative, proactive, and comfortable working across time zones

A Bit About the Team

• Tech lead and engineers based in Singapore
• Additional engineers in the Philippines
• GM based in New Zealand, overseeing DevOps
• Sales and customer access team in Sydney
• Support team based in Singapore
• Sydney office available, but the role is fully remote

Why It’s a Great Opportunity

• Strong product with real traction in the logistics space
• Remote-first culture with flexibility and autonomy
• Great team and leadership across AU/NZ
• Competitive salary with room to stretch for the right candidate
• Interviews happening this week
