About the product
Mobion is a cloud-based white-label platform for ride-hailing and corporate transport services. Launched in 2016 by Devart, it supports operators in 6+ countries and has handled over 20 million rides for 4M+ users and 500K drivers.
Our ecosystem includes rider and driver apps, a real-time dispatch system, admin dashboards, and branded web portals, all backed by a secure, scalable Azure infrastructure. We offer both SaaS and franchise models to help partners grow fast across regions.
Your mission
Your mission as Head of Engineering at Mobion is not just to deliver, but rather to transform engineering into a true strategic growth engine.
You will act as the architect for the technological foundation that enables Mobion to scale across countries, handle millions of rides reliably, and continuously reduce time-to-market in a highly competitive mobility space.
This is a role for a builder and systems thinker. You will design a scalable, future-proof platform, elevate engineering standards, and cultivate a high-performance organization where ownership, speed, and technical excellence perfectly coexist.
You won't simply lead teams. You will define how engineering shapes product innovation, operational efficiency, and long-term business advantage.
The impact you will make
- Technical strategy & alignment: Define and implement a long-term technical vision aligned with Mobion's growth strategy (SaaS + franchise expansion). Translate business objectives into a scalable architecture and execution roadmaps. Act as a strategic partner to Head of BU and product management.
- Architecture & innovation: Make high-level architectural decisions for a distributed, real-time ride-hailing ecosystem (dispatch, mobile apps, admin tools, APIs). Ensure platform scalability, performance, and resilience under growing load and regional expansion. Make buy vs build decisions and continuously evolve the tech stack.
- AI & automation strategy: Lead the integration of AI-driven capabilities into the product and engineering workflows, including demand prediction & dynamic pricing optimization; smart dispatch & route optimization; fraud detection & anomaly monitoring; AI-assisted development, which comprises code review automation, test generation, and performance analysis. Build a roadmap for AI adoption to improve both the product's value for the customer and internal engineering productivity.
- Engineering leadership & team growth: Implement hiring, onboarding, and retention strategies. Define competency frameworks and career paths. Drive the continuous growth of engineering talent and knowledge sharing.
- Operational performance & delivery: Set KPIs for engineering leads, run performance reviews, and manage PDPs. Optimize the software development lifecycle to ensure predictable delivery, quality, reliability, and security.
- Culture of ownership: Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and technical excellence. Implement Agile/Scrum and DevOps best practices.
- Resources, budget & operations: Plan and manage engineering resources, capacity, budgets, and vendor relationships.
- Reliability, security & compliance: Act as the final escalation point for critical incidents. Ensure effective incident management, disaster recovery, and compliance with security and data protection standards in the fintech/ride-hailing industries.
