About the Job

Requirements

At least 4 years of product management experience, with a history of shipping measurable features and defining the baseline, final outcome, and underlying denominator.
Strong technical fluency with data pipelines and distributed backend systems, including identifying system edge cases and contributing to engineering design reviews.
Proficiency writing SQL queries to analyze large datasets, evaluate data pipelines, and independently diagnose root causes.
Deep understanding of error distributions, including distribution tails, variance, and segment-specific drivers.
Hands-on experience designing and executing A/B tests, including setting pre-launch hypotheses, success metrics, guardrails, and conducting post-experiment analysis.
Business-fluent English proficiency at B2/C1+ level or equivalent.

Responsibilities

Set strategic sequencing for the routing platform roadmap, balance conflicting priorities across six business verticals, and defend technical trade-offs with clear rationale.
Launch routing and algorithm changes behind controlled A/B tests and evaluate outcomes against travel-time error distribution, pre-pickup cancellation rates, and driver earnings per online hour.
Collaborate daily with backend and machine learning engineers on technical feasibility within latency and compute budgets, and write precise, production-ready product specifications for routing engineers.
Quantify the opportunity cost of defects and enhancements before building, including trip exposure, financial value, and the theoretical ceiling of proposed fixes.
Conduct field research by riding with local drivers and couriers across global markets, observe route failures, and translate real-world edge cases into structured data queries.
Protect route quality and platform performance by using evidence to challenge requests that risk degrading the platform.

GeoWay is the core routing and ETA engine powering every inDrive trip globally—supporting city rides, intercity, freight, and deliveries across 1,200+ cities, 400M+ downloads, and over 9 billion transactions. We build our entire stack in-house, from road graph creation and real-time traffic estimation using proprietary GPS traces to custom cost functions and travel-time prediction. Based alongside our engineering team in Cairo, we are looking for a Senior Product Manager to define the vision, roadmap, and delivery of this mission-critical platform.

In this role, you will tackle routing challenges that off-the-shelf global vendors cannot solve. You will lead products built for the world’s most demanding road environments—navigating unmapped streets, dynamic local driving norms, severe GPS multipath, and low-connectivity edge devices across markets like Cairo, Lagos, Karachi, and Jakarta. If you are driven by solving complex algorithmic and geospatial problems at massive scale, this team is for you.

Own & Defend the Routing Roadmap: Set the strategic sequencing for the routing platform, balancing conflicting priorities across six distinct business verticals and defending technical trade-offs with clear rationale.
Ship Rigorous Experiments & Measure Impact: Launch routing and algorithm changes behind controlled A/B tests, personally evaluating outcomes against core metrics: travel-time error distribution, pre-pickup cancellation rates, and driver earnings per online hour.
Partner Deeply with Backend & ML Engineering: Collaborate daily on technical feasibility within strict latency and compute budgets, authoring precise, production-ready product specs that routing engineers can directly execute against.
Size Every Problem Before Building: Quantify the exact opportunity cost of defects and enhancements beforehand, determining trip exposure, bottom-line financial value, and the theoretical ceiling of any proposed fix.
Ground Data in On-the-Ground Reality: Conduct direct field research by riding with local drivers and couriers across global markets, observing route failures firsthand and translating real-world edge cases into structured data queries.
Protect Platform Integrity with Data: Serve as the gatekeeper of route quality, leveraging hard evidence to push back against requests—even from senior stakeholders—that risk degrading core platform performance.

Product Track Record: 4+ years of product management experience, with a proven history of shipping measurable features where you can define the baseline, final outcome, and underlying denominator.
Technical & Systems Literacy: Strong technical fluency with data pipelines and distributed backend systems; comfortable identifying system edge cases and contributing actively to engineering design reviews.
Autonomous Data Analysis: Proficiency in writing your own SQL queries to analyze large datasets, evaluate data pipelines, and diagnose root causes independently.
Statistical & Error Metric Mastery: Deep understanding of error distributions, with the ability to look past simple averages to analyze distribution tails, variance, and segment-specific drivers.
Rigorous Experimentation: Hands-on experience designing and executing A/B tests from scratch, including establishing pre-launch hypotheses, success metrics, guardrails, and post-experiment analysis.
Communication: Business-fluent English proficiency (B2/C1+ or equivalent).

About the Company

inDrive

Global ride-hailing platform with fare negotiation

inDrive operates a global mobility and urban services platform that connects passengers with independent drivers through a fare-negotiation system. Riders propose a trip price, and nearby drivers can accept, decline, or counteroffer, creating a peer-to-peer ride-hailing model. The service has expanded to intercity rides, delivery and cargo, groceries, advertising, and driver-focused fintech within its app. Unlike typical ride-hailing apps that use fixed fares, inDrive enables price negotiation and direct driver-rider interaction, and it pursues growth through a venture arm that funds ride-hailing-adjacent startups in emerging markets. This broader strategy aims to build a super-app for urban and gig-economy needs, with the goal of offering a wide range of mobility and urban services in 48 countries.
