Company:
Saigon Digital
Experience:
5+ years
Type:
Full-time
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Tech Lead who can replace the CEO in day-to-day technical decision-making.
This is not a pure coding role.
This is a leadership role for someone who understands business problems, translates them into scalable technical solutions, and leads a team to execute with clarity, speed, and quality.
You will work directly with leadership, own technical direction across projects, and play a key role in how we evolve as an AI-first digital agency.
What You’ll Own
1. Technical Leadership
Take full ownership of technical decisions across all projects
Define architecture, stack decisions, and best practices
Ensure we build scalable, maintainable, high-performance systems
Challenge poor solutions and push for better outcomes
2. Project Planning & Delivery
Translate business goals into clear technical plans
Work with PMs and clients to define scope, timelines, and priorities
Ensure projects are delivered on time and at high quality
Identify risks early and solve them proactively
3. Client Communication
Join client calls as the technical lead
Explain complex technical concepts in simple terms
Build trust with clients through clarity and confidence
Act as the bridge between business and engineering
4. Team Leadership & Development
Lead, mentor, and level up the development team
Improve code quality, processes, and accountability
Run code reviews, technical reviews, and architecture discussions
Build a culture of ownership, speed, and continuous improvement
5. AI & Innovation
Drive adoption of AI tools across development workflows (Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, automation tools, etc.)
Explore how AI agents can improve:
Development speed
Internal processes
Client solutions
Push the team to think beyond traditional development
6. Product & Problem Thinking
Ask “why are we building this?” before “how do we build it?”
Understand client business models and goals
Propose better, smarter solutions, not just execute tasks
Contribute to new service offerings (AI, SEO, automation, platforms)
What We’re Looking For
Core Skills
5+ years in software development (frontend, backend, or full-stack)
Strong experience with modern web stacks (React, Next.js, APIs, CMS)
Experience leading or mentoring developers
Solid understanding of system architecture and scalability
Mindset
Growth-oriented, proactive, and accountable
Thinks like an owner, not an employee
Comfortable making decisions without waiting for permission
Obsessed with improving systems, not just completing tasks
Communication
Clear, confident communicator
Able to simplify complex ideas for clients and teams
Comfortable in client-facing situations
AI & Future Thinking
Actively using AI tools in daily workflow
Curious about AI agents, automation, and new technologies
Not afraid to experiment and challenge current ways of working
What Success Looks Like
CEO is no longer needed in technical decisions
Projects run smoother, faster, with fewer issues
Dev team becomes more structured, accountable, and higher quality
Clients trust our technical direction without hesitation
AI is embedded into how we build and operate
Why Join Saigon Digital
Work directly with founders and shape the future of the company
Be part of an agency pushing into AI-first delivery

Opportunity to define how a modern digital agency should operate
