Motorcycle ride-hailing and delivery platform for Philippines urban mobility
Angkas operates a motorcycle-based ride-hailing and logistics network in the Philippines, built on a modern stack (Python, Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, GCP) that supports real-time dispatch and analytics. The company is scaling across balanced engineering, marketing, and ops teams while actively working on driver acquisition, go-to-market execution, and onboarding optimization — indicating a growth phase focused on supply-side buildout and operational efficiency. Pain-point clustering around driver engagement, pricing, and supply-demand matching suggests the core challenge is converting motorcycle adoption (already high for personal use) into a profitable for-hire service.
Angkas is a Philippines-based mobility platform that provides ride-hailing and delivery services using motorcycles as the primary vehicle. The company targets Filipinos in congested urban areas, positioning motorcycles as a low-cost, versatile alternative to traditional transport — leveraging existing high personal adoption to unlock underutilized for-hire capacity. The platform spans iOS, Android, and backend services on GCP, with data instrumentation via BigQuery and visualization through Grafana, Superset, and Looker. The company operates from Makati with 51–200 employees and is hiring exclusively in the Philippines.
