Telco-focused digital services and platform modernization across Asia
Axiata Digital Labs is a 1,200+ person software services firm backed by Axiata Group, a major Asian telecom operator. The tech stack—Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP—reflects a microservices-first approach to telecom infrastructure. Active hiring is engineering-heavy (31 of 59 roles), concentrated on senior and lead positions, signaling execution on large-scale transformation projects (core banking integration, BSS/OSS modernization, APIM rollouts) rather than team building. Pain points cluster around security maturity (SOC, SIEM tuning, PCI-DSS), scaling distributed systems, and legacy integration—typical friction in telecom digital transitions.
Notable leadership hires: Tech Lead, DevOps Lead, Presales Lead
