Lead Engineer - Thailand

Role overview A remote Lead Engineer position responsible for taking technical ownership of complex products and raising the engineering bar across the team. This is a hands-on technical leadership role that blends architecture and implementation — driving major initiatives from idea to production while staying close to the code.

Responsibilities - Lead the technical design and execution of major products, features, and engineering initiatives. - Architect scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems across backend, frontend, APIs, databases, and infrastructure. - Stay hands-on through coding, prototyping, code reviews, debugging, and production problem-solving. - Make architecture decisions and trade-offs balancing speed, scalability, reliability, and maintainability. - Translate ambiguous product and technical problems into clear engineering solutions and execution plans. - Set a high bar for code quality, system design, testing, security, observability, and production reliability. - Review technical designs and code from other engineers, providing clear and actionable feedback. - Mentor engineers and help strengthen technical capability across the team. - Identify technical risks, bottlenecks, and architectural weaknesses before they escalate. - Collaborate closely with product, design, and AI teams to ship high-quality products quickly. - Improve engineering tooling, development practices, and automation to increase team velocity. - Own systems beyond release by monitoring production, investigating incidents, and resolving root causes.

Requirements - Strong software engineering background with significant experience building and shipping production systems. - Deep technical expertise in one or more areas such as backend, frontend, distributed systems, APIs, databases, or cloud infrastructure. - Strong system design and architecture skills with experience making technical decisions for complex or high-scale systems. - Strong coding ability and willingness to remain hands-on. - Proven experience leading major engineering projects or providing technical leadership to other engineers. - Comfortable reviewing code, debugging complex issues, and working directly with production systems. - Able to explain complex technical decisions clearly and influence engineers across teams. - Strong product sense and ability to connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes. - Able to move fast with ambiguity and take ownership from problem definition through production. - Strong judgment about when to move quickly, simplify, or invest in deeper engineering work.

Benefits and work setup - Fully remote role; the team hires globally and operates across multiple countries and time zones. - English is the main working language across global teams; strong English communication is required. - Streamlined interview process: online assessment or practical task, technical interview, and final round, typically completed within about one week for strong candidates.
