Bangkok Lifestyle: Dynamic city with excellent food, travel, and expat life, plus lower cost of living.

The Impact You’ll Make

Lead full-stack architecture and system design for features used by millions of customers
Own complex end-to-end systems — from React-based frontend to backend microservices — and mentor high-performing teams

Backend: Expertise in Java, Kotlin, or .NET; comfort designing microservices and REST/gRPC APIs
BFF / middleware: Experience building and owning Node.js/TypeScript BFF layers that sit between frontend and core services, including API aggregation, response shaping, and auth handling
Solid understanding of frontend performance fundamentals: Core Web Vitals, code splitting, lazy loading, and rendering strategies (CSR vs SSR vs ISR)
Familiarity with testing approaches across the stack — unit, integration, and E2E (Jest, Cypress, or Playwright)
Proven experience leading end-to-end architecture on high-traffic platforms
Track record of technical mentorship, cross-team collaboration, and solving ambiguous problems
