Working Location: Hai Chau, Da Nang / Cau Giay, Ha Noi

We are looking for a Tech Lead to anchor the technical direction of our Core squad - the most used, most business-critical part of our platform
What makes this role unique is breadth. Core's teams span backend, frontend, mobile, and DevOps - and you'll need to provide meaningful technical oversight across all of them. You don't need to be an expert in every discipline, but you should be fluent enough to guide architecture decisions, challenge technical trade-offs, and earn the trust of engineers regardless of their stack.
Your primary depth is backend - that's where the hardest system design problems live. But your awareness of how mobile, frontend, and DevOps connect to the backend is what makes you effective as the technical anchor for Core
You will drive technical excellence, lead the adoption of AI across engineering workflows and products, mentor and grow our developers, and help build a high-performance engineering culture. Working closely with product, design, and leadership teams across Vietnam and the US, you will align technical execution with business goals and ensure the team delivers impactful solutions with speed, quality, and scalability
Your impact
Technical Direction & Architecture
Own the architectural patterns and technical standards for Core's backend systems - workout programming engines, scheduling logic, nutrition tracking, multi-tenant platform infrastructure, notification pipelines, and third-party integrations
Drive solution design for complex features: new product areas, cross-squad integrations, platform-level changes, and performance-critical systems
Make architectural decisions that balance delivery velocity with long-term maintainability - Core is a high-frequency product and tech debt accumulates fast
Define and uphold engineering standards across all six Core sub-squads: API design, data modeling, testing practices, code review culture, and documentation
Proactively identify and lead reduction of technical debt in coordination with Engineering Management and Product
Hands-on Engineering
Stay in the code on the most critical work - core platform infrastructure, high-risk migrations, cross-squad technical foundations, and architectural proof-of-concepts
Review pull requests across sub-squads with depth and speed, giving feedback that helps engineers grow - not just ships
Set the standard for what good code looks like across Core: observable, testable, maintainable, and scalable
AI-First Engineering
Champion AI-assisted development across all Core sub-squads - from code generation and test writing to automated documentation and PR reviews
Collaborate with the AI squad on integrating AI features directly into Core workflows: smart programming suggestions, automated progress summaries, AI-powered onboarding
Help engineers build practical AI fluency through pairing, demos, and shared tooling workflows
Mentorship & Team Growth
Mentor and coach engineers across Core sub-squads - raising the technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and technical pairing
Run regular technical discussions and design reviews that help engineers grow as system thinkers, not just feature builders
Contribute to hiring across Core: design technical assessments and conduct engineering interviews calibrated to the Core domain
Cross-functional Collaboration
Be the primary technical voice in product discovery across Core - shaping what's feasible, what's scalable, and what will cause pain six months from now
Partner closely with Core PMs, BAs, QA Lead, and Design to ensure technical decisions translate cleanly into user-facing product quality
Align with Tech Leads in other squads (Marketplace, Payment, AI) on shared infrastructure, platform standards, and cross-squad integrations
Represent Core Engineering in cross-functional leadership discussions, communicating system decisions with clarity to non-technical stakeholders
