Engineering Manager, Unified API

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Unified API group at StraitsX, overseeing two teams responsible for our core payment APIs, blockchain infrastructure, and agentic payment solutions.

In this role, you will lead engineers and an Engineering Manager, driving technical strategy, engineering delivery, and system reliability across both teams. You will play a key role in shaping our backend architecture and advancing our engineering practices as we embrace AI-native software development.

This is a technical leadership role that combines people management, architectural decision-making, and engineering excellence. While you won't be expected to contribute code daily, you will provide technical direction, establish engineering standards, and champion the adoption of AI-driven development practices to build scalable, secure, and reliable payment systems.
