Key Responsibilities
- Product Engineering
- Lead features from scoping and technical design to launch and iteration, owning the end-to-end outcome.
- Make product judgment calls, proposing simpler paths to customer outcomes and prioritizing high-impact builds.
-
Ship at a fast pace, favoring rapid iteration and real-world customer feedback over perfection.
- Build across the stack
- Develop across the full stack: data layer, backend, and frontend, using the best tools for the problem.
-
Ensure high quality through testing, observability, performance tuning, and operational follow-through.
- Team Foundations
- Establish engineering standards for Vietnam, including code reviews, documentation, and cross-office collaboration.
- Create scalable technical knowledge, such as design docs and runbooks, to accelerate team onboarding.
- Represent the local team in global product discussions, ensuring alignment with the wider roadmap.
-
Partner on hiring and mentoring future engineers, with the potential to grow into a managerial role.
- Full-stack expert comfortable with Python (Flask/Django), ReactJS, TypeScript, and SQL/NoSQL databases.
- You are a technically-minded problem solver who gets genuine satisfaction from helping customers succeed.
- You have led projects end to end before. You can point to something you scoped, built, shipped, and then improved based on what happened after launch.
-
You communicate clearly and confidently in English, in writing and on calls across both technical and non-technical topics
- Customer-first: You treat every support ticket as an opportunity to build trust. You follow through, keep customers updated, and never leave an issue hanging.
- Methodical & thorough: You investigate problems systematically, document your findings clearly, and write up post-mortems that help the whole team learn.
- Proactive communicator: You surface issues early to customers, to teammates, and upwards, rather than waiting for problems to escalate.
- Bridge-builder: You thrive at the intersection of technical and business teams. You translate between engineers who think in APIs and sustainability managers who think in carbon tonnes.
-
Ownership-oriented: In a small team, you step up without being asked. If you see a gap in documentation or a process that can be improved, you fix it.
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a degree in CS, IT, or equivalent practical background.
- Bilingual fluency in English and Vietnamese
-
Based in or willing to relocate to Ho Chi Minh City.
