Lead​/Software Engineer - Android; Bangkok

In this role, you’ll get to:

• Design, develop, and maintain Android applications that integrate with the platform’s core services and APIs
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Mobile engineers to define requirements, design features, and deliver cohesive user experiences
• Drive engineering best practices for testing, quality assurance, and release readiness, including automated testing strategies
• Build and evolve reusable platform components (SDKs, internal libraries, shared UI/infra patterns) to accelerate multiple product teams
• Contribute to or lead initiatives involving Web View-based architecture, including performance, security, debugging, and deep integration with native modules
• Improve developer velocity via CI/CD pipelines for mobile (build, test automation, release flows, quality gates)
• Raise reliability standards by improving observability: performance monitoring, crash analysis, app/service metrics, logging, and alerting
• Identify and implement opportunities for optimization across the technology stack, focusing on cost, efficiency, velocity, and developer happiness
• Enable cross-team collaboration on large initiatives, improving overall code quality, architecture, and platform consistency
• Provide thoughtful feedback and mentorship, fostering an inclusive engineering culture and strong engineering fundamentals
• Communicate complex technical trade-offs clearly to stakeholders across levels, including non-technical partners

• 8+ years of software development experience building large-scale applications; strong craft in either native app engineering (Android) or web engineering, with openness to working across both when needed
• 3+ years in a Tech Lead (or equivalent) role, owning execution and technical direction end-to-end
• Proven experience owning production systems with significant impact on design, development, deployment, monitoring, and long-term evolution
• Strong engineering leadership: mentoring senior engineers, influencing across teams, and driving alignment through clear communication
• Advanced proficiency in modern app development frameworks and architectural choices (scalable patterns, modularization, maintainability)
• Strong understanding of app development challenges and solutions: performance, stability, backwards compatibility, and security
• Expert-level knowledge of testing methodologies and best practices; ability to drive end-to-end test strategy (e.g., UI/E2E automation)
• Practical experience improving engineering throughput through CI/CD (automated builds, test pipelines, release workflows)
• Ability to use data and telemetry to guide improvements; experience with observability for app/service performance is a strong advantage
• Strong problem-solving: can do deep research, make decisions on complex projects, and balance independence with collaboration
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

• Experience working across both native mobile and web applications (one strong core skill is enough; openness to the other is key)
• Experience in a platform team building reusable solutions used by multiple teams/products
• Hands‑on experience with Web View internals (rendering/performance/debugging, JS bridges, security, architecture decisions)
• Proficiency in writing and maintaining end‑to‑end tests (e.g., Espresso/UI Automator/Detox/Appium or equivalents depending on stack)
• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD for native apps (build automation, test automation, release management, feature flags)
• Experience with observability (crash analytics, performance monitoring, tracing/metrics/logging, SLO‑driven improvements)
• Experience in scaled product/internet companies with high traffic, large user bases, and high transaction volume
• Experience with cross‑platform technologies (React Native, Web Views, Flutter, etc.) and making pragmatic trade‑off decisions
