The Tech Lead — AI Applications is the senior technical leader for the product-suite implementation tier of an AI-native retail decisioning platform — the commercial layer that delivers measurable business outcomes through a portfolio of product suites and agents. The role is accountable for suite-service implementation, agent integration into business workflows, bounded-context discipline, and partnership with suite product owners.
Remote candidates outside of Thailand are welcome to apply.
Key Responsibilities:- Own the application-tier reference implementation patterns — service template, bounded-context layout, anti-corruption-layer pattern, contract-test framework, eval harness.
- Lead the first commercial suite implementation (supplier collaboration) — services, bounded contexts, end-to-end agent-driven workflows for supplier onboarding, trade deals, invoice reconciliation, and contract intelligence.
- Enforce domain-driven-design discipline — bounded contexts own their data; legacy integration via anti-corruption-layer only; never direct database writes to systems of record (Oracle, SAP, WMS).
- Co-chair the agent review forum — new agent approvals, eval results, retire decisions; drive per-agent eval harness (golden sets, regression gates, multi-step replay).
- Partner with peer Tech Leads on tier-handoff contracts — agent invocation, human-in-the-loop gate handoff, output handling, surface integration.
- Be the senior engineering peer for all suite Product Owners; translate suite roadmap into engineering plans (sequencing, dependencies, gates).
- Lead senior software engineers on suite-side work; mentor on domain-driven design, bounded-context discipline, and anti-corruption-layer patterns.
- Track per-suite commercial KPIs (rebate uplift, forecasting parity, markdown / promo / assortment uplifts) and report to programme leadership monthly.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 8+ years software engineering with 3+ years in a Tech Lead / Staff role with multi-team delivery.
- Production retail / commerce / fintech experience — POS, replenishment, merchandising, supplier portal, finance reconciliation.
- Domain-driven-design discipline — bounded contexts, aggregates, events, anti-corruption layers — at production scale.
- Strong service-oriented architecture; Python or TypeScript at staff level; event-driven systems.
- ACL pattern experience — has integrated legacy systems of record (Oracle, SAP, WMS) without leaking into new bounded contexts.
- Agent or LLM service consumption in production from a business-domain service.
- Cloud platform experience (Azure preferred; AWS / GCP transferable).
Preferred Qualifications
- Retail technology background — POS, replenishment, supplier collaboration, merchandising, finance reconciliation.
- DDD community contributions (talks, papers, open source); strangler-fig legacy-migration experience.
