At Caspian Digital Solutions, we don’t just build web portals and systems — we craft digital experiences that move brands forward. With a footprint across Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and beyond, we’ve helped over 200 companies accelerate their growth through innovative, secure, and scalable digital solutions.
We're on the lookout for a Web Developer & CMS Specialist who’s as comfortable building pixel-perfect WordPress portals as they are integrating APIs, optimising performance, and working alongside high-performing teams.
This is a remote-first role for the first 3–6 months (probation period), giving you the flexibility to work from anywhere. After a successful performance review, you’ll have the opportunity to relocate to Malaysia or Singapore, with full work permits and relocation support provided by us.
If you’re a self-driven builder, problem-solver, and creative collaborator — and you're looking for a role that goes beyond coding into full-stack digital impact — we want to hear from you.
