About Us

We solve our client's most difficult business challenges through technology. Our company partners with the most ambitious companies around the world creating long-term impact with the work we do. If you want to grow together, work on challenging products and enjoy using the best tools and practices, Nimble is the right place for you!

About the role

We're looking for a Technical Lead who builds alongside their team - not one who manages from a distance. You'll own technical direction for your team, shape architecture decisions, and help less experienced engineers grow, all while staying close to the code.

This is a leadership role, but the best person for it still thinks like a builder. You'll work across Nimble client projects spanning a wide range of industries and complexity, and be expected to operate with full ownership end-to-end.

What you'll do

Lead a team of engineers across one or more client projects, setting the technical direction and maintaining quality standards
Define front-end and back-end architecture, make technology decisions, and own the outcome
Work closely with the Product Manager to keep delivery on track and contribute to technical discussions with clients when needed
Write and review code - this is a hands-on role; you're expected to contribute, not just direct
Use AI tools as a core part of how you work and help your team do the same
Mentor and grow engineers in your team through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing
Set and execute technical strategy aligned with project and business objectives
Contribute to internal processes and initiatives - our handbook has been written by the whole team

What We Are Looking For

Technical
- Solid professional web development experience with a strong background in software architecture - we care more about what you've built and led than how many years you've been doing it
- Deep experience with scaling web platforms, handling high traffic, and maintaining uptime
- Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern DevOps practices
- Comfortable across the stack - frontend and backend - and able to adapt to the language and framework the project needs
- Experience with AI coding tools and a clear point of view on how to integrate them into engineering workflows
Leadership
- Proven track record of leading engineering teams and growing engineers in a high-growth or consultancy environment
- Experience setting and executing technical strategy aligned with business objectives
- Strong decision-making with a bias for action - you commit, you move, you course-correct
Business awareness
- Prior experience in a software consultancy or product-led company
- Ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders, including clients

Why Join Us?

Innovation at Scale: Be a part of an innovative project that will reshape the customer experience landscape.
Dynamic Environment: Work in a vibrant, energetic office filled with creative minds

Why You’ll Love Working Here

You’ll be surrounded by high performers. We’re a tight-knit, ambitious team that pushes each other to grow and thrive.
We're built differently. We’ve been profitable and bootstrapped since day one—no VC pressures, just smart, sustainable growth.
We take pride in craftsmanship. Whether it's code, design, or delivery, we hold ourselves to a high bar—because the little things shape the big picture.
Growth is part of the job. Through regular one-on-ones, structured feedback, and a clear levelling framework, we support every team member’s growth—not just in technical skills, but in communication, collaboration, and leadership.
AI allowance, your way. Each year, you'll get a dedicated budget to explore AI tools, platforms, and learning resources that boost your productivity and skills. Dive into Pluralsight, PragPub, e-books, and more—wherever your curiosity takes you.
We’ve got your back. From day one, you’ll get private medical insurance, social welfare coverage, and a company care fund.
We invest in your future. We match your monthly Provident Fund contributions to help you build long-term security.
We support your move. If you're joining us from abroad, we’ll take care of your visa, work permit, and provide a relocation package to help you settle in smoothly.
Flexibility that fits. We support a hybrid workstyle, giving you the freedom to find the right rhythm between home and office life.
Work with the right tools. We’ll set you up with a MacBook and a large external monitor so you can work comfortably and efficiently.
A workspace that works for you. Our modern office in the heart of Bangkok (Interchange 21) is steps away from BTS Asoke and MRT Sukhumvit.
Stay fueled. Our kitchen is always stocked with drinks and snacks.
Take the time you need. Enjoy 25 days of paid leave a year (including public holidays), plus a sabbatical month every 3 years.
Celebrate your journey. From anniversary gifts to yearly company outings and spontaneous team activities, we make time for fun and appreciation.
...and more perks to make work feel better.

How We Hire

When it comes to hiring new team members, regardless of the role, we look for specific traits that align with our company values. Our interview process and the questions we ask are designed to evaluate whether you are a good fit for our team's culture and objectives.

Joining a new company is a significant decision for anyone. Finding the right match requires effort from both sides, which includes several rounds of questions and a time investment. We will assess your skills and expertise, and also determine if your values align with those that drive our team.

Our Interview Process

The team keeps the process short and straightforward, focusing on actionable and measurable metrics related to its work activities. Every candidate will go through the followings stages:

1) Screening

Upon receiving your application our talent acquisition team will review your resume and any relevant supporting documentation (such as a cover letter, portfolio, Github profile etc…) to determine whether you meet the preliminary requirements for the role. If you advance, you'll be sent a screening form with approximately 4 to 5 questions specific to the role. This step is crucial for us to understand how your experience aligns with the key requirements of the position, going beyond what is listed on your resume.

2) 1st Interview

After reviewing your screening form, we will invite shortlisted candidates to an initial interview, which can be conducted either in person at one of our offices (for candidates located in the same cities) or online. You'll be able to schedule your interview through our booking system, choosing a time that works best for you. The interview typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.

During this meeting, we aim to create a comfortable, conversational atmosphere while asking a mix of skills-based and personality questions. Our goal is to assess both your fit with the team and your readiness for the role. No special preparation is required—just come ready to discuss your experience and share how you approach real-world challenges. We focus on practical, intermediate-level questions that allow you to showcase your expertise and familiarity with current technologies and best practices.

3) Challenge

If you pass the first interview, you will be asked to complete a challenge relevant to the position you've applied for. For instance, web developers might take a test in Ruby, Elixir, Golang, or JavaScript; mobile developers will have a test for Android or iOS; Product Managers will complete a Product test; and designers will tackle a UX/UI test. Each role has a tailored challenge.

You'll have one week to complete the assignment from the comfort of your home, and we recommend allocating between 6 to 12 hours, though the time required may vary based on your skills and working style.

This challenge helps us evaluate practical skills that interviews alone might not reveal and allows you to demonstrate your actual work process. Rest assured, your submissions will never be used for commercial purposes.

4) 2nd Interview

In this interview, we will dive deeper into assessing your fit with the team and the company culture, while also giving you an opportunity to address any remaining questions you may have. We'll review your approach to the skills challenge and discuss how you tackled it, giving us a better understanding of your problem-solving abilities and thought processes. This conversation will allow us to explore your experience in more detail and ensure we're aligned on expectations for the role.

It's also a great opportunity for you to learn more about life at Nimble. You can ask any additional questions you might have about the role, the team dynamics, or the values that drive our work. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to feel confident in your decision, just as we want to ensure that you're the right fit for us.

5) Final Decision

After the second interview, our team will conduct a thorough review of your application, carefully considering all the information gathered throughout the interview process. This includes evaluating your responses, your performance in the skills challenge, and your alignment with both the role and our company culture. We take this time to ensure we make the best possible decision for both you and our team. We understand the importance of clarity and respect for your time, so we aim to make our final decision as quickly as possible. You can usually expect to hear back from us shortly after the review, regardless of the outcome.
