ASTA is a founder-led engineering firm building bespoke software and the renewable-energy infrastructure the next decade runs on — real products for real users in 12+ countries. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned lead, you’ll own real work, learn from a genuinely strong team, and build to a European standard from Sri Lanka.
All reliability figures shown across this site are engineering design targets, not live production metrics.
There’s a version of this job where you ship the template, hit the deadline, and hand it to someone who was never in the room. It’s faster, it’s cheaper, and everyone knows it’s forgettable.
We chose the other version: the engineer who scopes the work ships it, reliability is drawn into the first diagram, and “better” is a standard you can feel in the architecture.
We don’t compete on being the cheapest.We compete on being better.
Web and mobile products and SaaS platforms, zero-to-launch and beyond: bespoke systems architecture, reliability and observability wired in from the first diagram, UX strategy and design, investor-ready MVPs, cloud and infrastructure, and real offensive security. Code that survives Series-A scrutiny.
Engineering the renewable-energy technology the next decade depends on — the same redundancy and reliability we hold in software, applied to infrastructure built to last. Work measured in systems that outlast the roadmap and the grid they run on.
Whichever discipline you take, you’re held to exactly that one bar.
ASTA is demanding on purpose. Read the honest-offer ledger before you apply — if the left column sounds like relief and the right sounds fair, we should talk.
Not decided by pedigree, connections, postcode — or years on a CV.
No made-up numbers, no perks you’ll never claim. Just the conditions that let engineers at every level do their best work — grow, and stay.
You own systems, not tickets — from your first project. The person who scopes it ships it, and gets the credit for it holding.
Founder-led and small by design. Decisions happen in the room you're in, not two orgs away.
Work remote, or take a desk in Colombo or Jaffna. Async where it helps, in person where it matters.
Real products for clients in 12+ countries — the kind you can actually point to.
An EU-grade engineering bar, held from Sri Lanka. Your craft levels up because the standard demands it.
Mentorship from genuinely senior people, room to lead, and support for the conferences and courses that make you better.
Modern stack, hardware that fits how you work, and no bureaucracy between you and shipping.
Software and renewable-energy infrastructure under one roof. Cross the aisle and broaden what you can build.
Join a team that's already a GSEA National Finalist and a SLASSCOM Ingenuity Award winner — proof, not promises.
We hire across every level — graduate to lead — in both disciplines. Filter by discipline, location, or level; every application lands at careers@astacodelabs.com.
Start your career on real products, paired with experienced engineers who review your work and help you get good, fast.
React, real UI, and mentorship close by. You're hungry to level up and you sweat the details.
Own features end to end across TypeScript, React, and Node — and grow into owning whole systems.
Design the systems the product leans on. APIs, data, and reliability wired in from the first diagram.
iOS/Android products people actually keep on their home screen. Native craft, with room to grow into leading a platform.
Set the technical bar and still write code. You scope, mentor the team, and own delivery on a flagship build.
Research-led UX and a growing eye for systems. You ship whole flows, not just screens.
CI/CD, observability, and uptime as a design property. You make 'it scales' a fact, not a hope.
Coverage you can trust. You build the harness that lets the team ship fast without fear.
Break it, then help fix it for real. Threat modelling, pentests, and proof — not a compliance checkbox.
Engineer monitoring, control, and grid-integration systems to the same standard we hold in software.
Real-time telemetry on real hardware. Firmware that has to run without interruption, because the grid doesn't wait.
Sit between founders and engineering. You own the 'why' and the roadmap — and defend scope against the standard.
New to the industry, or switching in? We hire for craft and trajectory, not just a title — apply to the closest role, or send an open application.
Five steps, experienced engineers in the room from the first call, and a decision inside two to three weeks.
Pick a role or send an open application to careers@astacodelabs.com. Lead with work — a repo, a live product, a system you designed. No essay required; we read what you've built, not how well you self-promote.
A real conversation, not a screener. What you've shipped, what you want to own next, and an honest picture of the role — before either of us invests more time.
Walk us through something you actually built, then we solve a real problem together. Choose a short scoped take-home or live pairing — whichever shows your thinking best. We cap the effort and respect your time. No leetcode, no trick questions.
Sit with the people you'd build alongside — including someone who'd review your code and someone from the discipline next door. You're interviewing us too. Ask the hard questions.
A clear offer, quickly. Then an experienced owner to learn from, a real project from week one, and the context to make decisions — not three weeks of setup tickets.
At every step you talk to people who do the work — never a screener reading from a script. No leetcode, no trick questions.

The honest answers to what candidates actually hesitate on — levels, remote, the interview, and whether you’ll hear back.
We hire ahead of the board when the right person shows up. Send what you’ve built — a repo, a system you’re proud of, a product with your fingerprints on it. Skip the cover-letter essay.
Every application is read by a person, not a filter. You’ll hear back either way — no silent rejections.
