About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Join one of the Philippines' fastest-growing tech companies!
Lead one of our long-standing client engagements in the nonprofit SaaS space.
You will own the backlog, own quality, and own resourcing decisions for a small engineering team supporting three production applications (CRM web, CRM mobile, and a mobile volunteer management app).
Own backlog prioritization, triage, and release sign-off across web and mobile applications.
Establish and enforce a definition of done — code review, test coverage, and QA sign-off — before anything ships to production.
Maintain and report a monthly scorecard covering backlog throughput, hotfix rate, defect trend, and quick wins shipped.
Make staffing decisions for the team, including identifying underperformance and initiating replacements, without needing client sign-off on every swap.
Assess the team's technical coverage (CRM web, Xamarin/.NET MAUI mobile, native iOS/Android) and flag or resource gaps as they surface.
Run weekly reviews with the client during ramp, transitioning to escalation only reporting as the team matures.
Identify issues early, propose solutions, and make decisions within agreed authority — proactively communicating scorecard results, delivery risks, and resourcing changes.
Coordinate with Full Scale account leadership on staffing, rates, and contract structure as the account evolves.
Champion modern engineering practices — including AI-assisted coding, automation, and agentic workflows — and pilot tools like Claude Code for low-complexity bug fixes.
Protect and grow the team's institutional and domain knowledge rather than treating members as interchangeable.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Senior-level engineering or technical delivery background with direct experience owning production quality outcomes — not just completing assigned tickets.
8+ years of experience in software engineering, technical delivery, or engineering management roles.
Hands-on experience leading a small-to-mid-sized development team, ideally within a distributed or offshore staff-augmentation environment.
Track record managing a sizable, long-standing backlog and driving it down systematically.
Comfortable being the single accountable escalation point for a demanding, detail-oriented US-based client.
Working knowledge of CRM or SaaS web and mobile app maintenance.
Strong written and spoken English; able to run client-facing status meetings independently.
Prior experience making resourcing and personnel decisions, including performance management and replacement calls.
Experience with, or strong interest in, AI-assisted or agentic engineering workflows (e.g., Claude Code) for automating routine bug fixes is a strong plus.
Exposure to Xamarin/.NET MAUI and native iOS/Android is a plus.
Experience in nonprofit, donor-management, or fundraising software is a plus.
