Technical Architect

ABOUT US

At Teleport, 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.
