Fullstack Engineer (PHP/NodeJS) - Hybrid working model, 100%, Ho Chi Minh City

Welcome to SMG Vietnam!

SMG Swiss Marketplace Group simplifies lives with innovative online marketplaces in Automotive, Real Estate, General Marketplaces, and Finance & Insurance. As SMG’s innovation hub, SMG Vietnam develops cutting-edge solutions in a collaborative, empowering environment. Recognized among the 2023 Asia & Vietnam Best Workplaces, we attract top digital talent to create exceptional user experiences for Switzerland. Guided by our core values—Better Together, Aim High, and Act Responsibly—we drive innovation and meaningful change.

This job refers to our Real Estate brands, Homegate and Immoscout24, the largest real estate portals in Switzerland, with more than 15 million visits per month and more than 100,000 listings. We provide all users looking for a property with a transparent overview of the entire range of listings without them having to tediously visit different platforms. In addition to great products such as the mortgage or price calculator, we also offer editorial articles on topics such as housing and financing.

We are looking for a Full-stack engineer (PHP/NodeJS) to help us build the future of the Swiss real estate market by contributing to our cutting-edge, cloud-based technology stack. You will get to collaborate and access the wealth of knowledge and experience from a community of amazing engineers who come from all parts of the globe and are ready to share their expertise and aid you in your path to fulfilling your potential.

Join our dynamic team, located in six countries (Switzerland, Serbia, Vietnam, France, Germany, and India), where creativity thrives. Together, we tackle challenges, celebrate successes, and keep learning and growing.

Our tech stack

• Frontend: React with TypeScript/JavaScript (Vue.js experience is a plus)
• Backend: TypeScript/Node.js services plus a substantial PHP codebase; cloud-native on AWS (serverless/containers, IaC)
• Observability: Datadog (incl. RUM) and Kibana for logs/metrics/traces (clear, actionable alerting)
• CI/CD & Docs: GitHub Actions + Backstage (service catalog/documentation hub)

Your mission

• Owning delivery end-to-end: Designing, implementing, testing, and delivering features across the stack, and keeping them healthy in production.
• Building reliable services: Evolving APIs, services, and data flows with pragmatic trade-offs between performance, reliability and simplicity.
• Operating in production: Improving monitoring, alerting, and incident follow-ups for the services and components your team owns.
• Collaborating for impact: Working closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to ship in small, reviewable increments and continuously improve how we build.

What will you bring to the ride?

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about building reliable products with real ownership. Here are the qualities that will help you thrive in this role:

• Professional experience: 2+ years building user-facing products with end-to-end ownership across multiple layers of the stack and exposure to PHP or TypeScript/Node.js. 
• Strong communication: Excellent English skills for collaboration with international teams and clear technical decision-making.
• Backend/infrastructure leaning: Comfortable shaping APIs, services, and data flows, while still contributing to modern frontend experiences when needed.
• Pragmatic systems thinking: Clear interfaces, sensible trade-offs, and a practical approach to modernizing existing code and patterns.

Hands-on experience with any of the following will be a plus:

• Experience with React and/or Vue.js and shipping production web applications.
• Familiarity with AWS, Docker, and relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL).
