Senior Software Engineer

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer to take real ownership of SparkJoy's web platform — from architecture decisions down to the features readers use every day.

This is a senior, high-trust role. You'll own system design, lead technical discussions, mentor our junior and mid-level developers, and help guide our stack's evolution toward React / TypeScript. You won't be handed tickets — you'll help decide how we build. If you want full ownership of a growing consumer product instead of a thin slice of a giant one, this is that seat. Full-time, on-site in Bangkok.

What You'll Do

• Own the architecture — make the system-design calls and lead the technical discussions that shape how SparkJoy is built.
• Build across the stack — ship and maintain features across the web platform and backend for a product real readers use daily.
• Level up the team — review code and mentor junior and mid-level developers; your standards become the team's standards.
• Keep it fast and safe — find and fix performance and security issues before users ever feel them.

What You'll Bring (Must-Haves)

• 5+ years of full-stack development experience.
• Strong, hands-on skills in Vue.js / Nuxt.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL (our current stack).
• Solid REST API design and system architecture experience.
• Proven code review and mentoring experience — you've helped other developers grow.
• DevOps / CI-CD familiarity and a security-first mindset.
• Experience deploying on GCP or AWS.
• Comfortable communicating in English in a professional setting.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

• You've worked at a startup, or shipped a consumer product at scale.
• Hands-on React / TypeScript experience — we're evolving in that direction.
• A degree in CS, Software Engineering, or a related IT field.
