What challenges you will have

• Given our growth, this is the first time we are hiring for such role. So you will be given autonomy and real possibilities to support our company to grow.
• Maintain your technical expertise by being involved in development activities. The Engineering Lead role remains a 100% software engineering role with some management responsibilities. The role comes with reduced development activities but it's still an active "coding" role.
• Our team is composed of Thai and foreign nationals (> 8 nationalities). So you will have opportunity to manage developers coming from various background, cultures and countries.
• There is a lot of room for you to learn and grow in this role. We are open to new initiatives and processes to improve the way we operate.

• You will be proud of any product that has our name on it.
• We are an engineering-focused company. Both co-founders are software engineers and led the tech teams at the most prominent e-commerce powerhouses in South East Asia.
• We really pay attention and care about processes, high quality, and aesthetics.
• Strong processes. We not only believe but also really work following agile principles. Developers work on well-sized and well-defined user stories, do estimate using points and work iteratively in short sprints (1-2 weeks).
• Regular one-on-one reviews to constantly improve and grow. We have a clearly defined process for our developers to level up continuously not only their technical skills but also soft skills.
• The vast amount of learning resources (Pluralsight, Pragpub, Leanpub, (e-)books, etc.) and yearly education allowance to step up your game.
• Private medical insurance (Liberty) from day one, company care fund and social welfare coverage.
• Great equipment consisting of a MacBook Pro, large screens, and any accessory to let you work comfortably. Our equipment is renewed every 3 years.
• Casual work attire for everyone.
• Comfortable and modern office space environment in the heart of HCMC or Da Nang

• 25 days of paid leaves/year (10 public holidays + 15 personal days).
• Sabbatical month every 3 years.
• Company outing every year.
• Many more perks!

• 5 years or more of professional web development experience. Experience in Ruby, Elixir, JavaScript (Node.JS) or Go is preferred. If you have advanced experience in PHP or Python and want to step up your game learning another language or two, this is the right place for you.
• Prior experience as Engineering Lead/Engineering Manager/Tech Lead for teams of 5 or more is required.
• Prior experience in hiring software developers is required.
• Current active software development experience. We are looking for engineering managers who are still involved in development actively and want to continue doing so.
• Enjoy working on challenging solutions and systems.
• Believe that building great applications is not only about delivering code that “works”, but involves thinking about reusability, maintainability, security, and performance.
• A "Can do attitude" and a product mindset.
• Confidence in communicating in English.
• This position is open for both Ho Chi Minh city and Da Nang.
