I am exclusively seeking a 100% remote role within a true asynchronous, document-driven engineering culture. My ideal environment values high autonomy, relies on strong written communication (TDDs/RFCs) to drive architectural decisions, and measures success based on engineering output rather than strict timezone overlaps.

IndonesiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer with over 5 years of experience developing scalable solutions in distributed and remote-friendly environments. Adept at leading asynchronous engineering workflows, from authoring comprehensive Technical Design Documents (TDDs) and managing RFC reviews to delegating actionable task tickets. I augment the development lifecycle by leveraging AI tools (Claude) to accelerate technical documentation and system design, ensuring seamless, autonomous execution across global teams.
At Flip, I re-architected International Disbursement from a PHP monolith to Go microservices, reducing processing from seconds to hundreds of milliseconds. I also improved merchant KYB resubmissions from 56.8% to 73.1%.
Previously at Tokopedia, I delivered remittance and installment-payment integrations that generated new TPV, launched self-service products that reduced support tickets by 50%, and shortened insurance claims from three days to one day. I lead asynchronous engineering work through technical design documents, RFC reviews, and actionable tickets, using Claude to accelerate documentation and system design.
