Solutions Architect

Our mission is to move things across Southeast Asia better than anyone else. We are an integrated end-to-end logistics solution, making it seamless for freight forwarders, shippers, eCommerce platforms, and small merchants to transport goods in a fast, reliable, and cost-effective manner.
 

As we scale and expand into new markets, we are looking for a Solutions Architect who is not just a strategic thinker but also a hands-on engineer—someone who can design, build, and implement complex distributed systems while ensuring technical excellence across teams. We expect deep involvement in engineering, from designing scalable systems to writing high-impact code, setting up platform-level libraries, and building reusable frameworks that make developers more productive.

You can expect your days to be pretty varied. Multitasking is normal, and sometimes, your skills or natural talents will be leveraged to support other business priorities. That said, the bulk of your working hours should involve you having to:
 

• System Architecture: Design high-performance platforms for client/order management, orchestration, cargo tracking, and business/finance integrations. Implement event-driven pipelines, multi-tier caching, and high-throughput messaging systems.
• Hands-on Implementation: Write and review critical code, develop core libraries, implement observability, and design CI/CD pipelines. Ensure system performance and maintainability, optimizing for latency and throughput.
• Technical Leadership: Lead architecture reviews, ensure designs align with best practices, collaborate with engineering teams, and enforce security and compliance. Conduct root cause analysis for production incidents.
• Performance Optimization: Architect high-throughput systems, optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas, and integrate big data solutions for real-time and batch processing. Manage containerized deployments on Kubernetes.
• Mentorship: Provide technical mentorship to engineers, guide on system design, performance, and debugging, and collaborate with DevOps for high availability and fault tolerance.

Experience:

✅ 10+ years in software engineering, with at least 3-5 years as a hands-on Solutions Architect or Principal Engineer.

✅ Proven experience in building and scaling distributed systems in eCommerce, logistics, or fintech.

✅ Deep hands-on coding experience in Java (Spring Boot, Micronaut) and familiarity with Python.
 

Technical Skills:

• System Architecture: Deep expertise in microservices, event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and cloud-native architectures.
•  Data & Storage: Strong experience in PostgreSQL, MongoDB, GraphDB (Neo4j), and NoSQL (Cassandra, DynamoDB).
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Expert in GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD.
•  Performance & Observability: Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and distributed tracing.
• Security & Compliance: Understanding of API security, authentication (OAuth, JWT), and cloud security best practices.
   

Soft Skills:

• Hands-on mindset, capable of both designing and implementing critical systems.
• Strong decision-making skills, able to balance business needs with technical constraints.
• Exceptional stakeholder management, translating complex tech into actionable business strategies.
•  Mentorship mindset, fostering growth within engineering teams.
• Ability to say “NO” when necessary, ensuring the team focuses on what truly matters.
