General Internet jobs
It is a given that jobs in tech companies demands a certain level of tech savviness to understand the core product offerings.

As you browse through the job listings on Tech in Asia Jobs, you’ll realise that there is a good amount of non-tech jobs in tech companies too. The reason is simple: in order for a startup to grow and flourish as a scalable business, it needs to build key pillars of job functions beyond its core product development team.
