Job Description
Are You a Platform Engineering Leader Ready to Own the Stack End-to-End?
Great platforms don't happen by accident, they're built by leaders who combine deep technical expertise with hands-on execution. If you have a proven track record owning AWS and Kubernetes environments in production and thrive in fast-moving startup environments, our client wants to hear from you. This is a full-time, on-site opportunity based in Bangkok, ideal for a Director-level engineer ready to take full ownership of a platform. Relocation support is available for the right candidate.
Why Apply?
Our client is a fast-growing, well-funded SaaS company with a strong international customer base. This role offers genuine end-to-end ownership, you'll drive technical excellence, shape platform architecture, and work alongside a talented, highly international engineering team. If you're open to relocating, our client will support your move to Bangkok. If you want a role where your technical decisions have real, visible impact, this is it.
The Role
Here's what you'll be doing day to day:
- Leading major technical initiatives with a focus on architectural soundness, scalability, and long-term impact
- Owning the AWS and Kubernetes platform end-to-end, including reliability, security, performance, and cost
- Running a predictable release process with progressive delivery, rollout and rollback strategies
- Staying hands-on - writing code, reviewing PRs, debugging production issues, and improving core services
- Designing and maintaining Terraform-managed infrastructure and operational best practices
- Owning CI/CD pipelines and driving improvements to build/deploy reliability and developer velocity
- Implementing observability practices, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and SLO-driven reliability
- Building and managing on-call rotations, incident response, and postmortems
- Mentoring and developing engineers while keeping priorities clear and execution on track
