Fractional CTO/Senior Technical Lead - Part-time - APAC

Role Overview

LogiAI is an AI automation startup based in Singapore, building intelligent solutions for the freight forwarding and logistics industry. Founded by a 20-year logistics veteran with C-level experience at major global freight companies, LogiAI serves enterprise logistics clients. The company is part of Microsoft for Startups, Google for Startups, and the Nvidia Inception Program.

The product is a cloud-based web application powered by Python, FastAPI, LangGraph, and MongoDB, with AI agent architecture at its core. In this role, you will play a crucial part in restructuring our development processes and ensuring the integrity of our product by managing outsourced developers and reviewing their work.

Responsibilities

• Audit the existing codebase and infrastructure, identify risks, and establish proper access controls and IP hygiene
• Take ownership of GitHub repositories and ensure the founder has full visibility and control
• Oversee and review work from the existing outsourced development team
• Challenge technical decisions made by external vendors and provide independent, founder-aligned guidance
• Collaborate with the founder to align technical strategies with business objectives.
• Attend weekly syncs with the founder and ad-hoc meetings with the dev team as needed
• Advise on architecture decisions — including AI/LLM tooling (e.g. evaluating newer agent frameworks like Nvidia NeMo or alternatives to LangGraph as they emerge)
• As the role matures, help scope and onboard future development for a customs classification module (Python, FastAPI, AI agents)

Required Skills

• Hands-on experience with Python and FastAPI
• Experience with AI agent architectures and LLM orchestration frameworks (LangGraph or similar)
• MongoDB and cloud-based deployment experience
• Proven experience managing remote or outsourced development teams
• Strong communication skills — able to clearly translate technical issues for a non-technical founder
