Remote Jobs Board for Southeast Asia Talent
A focused job board for remote roles open to candidates in Southeast Asia, where every post states eligible countries, time zone and a salary range.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $49 per 30-day job post; +$30 to pin it to the top for 7 days
- Daily math
- 1 job post every 2-3 days x $49 = about $16-25/day. One $30 pin upgrade a week adds about $4/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $500 - $900 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: Paying side: startups, agencies and recruiters hiring remote staff in SEA. Free side: developers, designers, virtual assistants and marketers in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand.
Urgency: Global remote boards mix in roles restricted to the US or EU, so SEA candidates waste time on jobs they cannot take, and employers hiring in the region get applicants from everywhere. A board where every post must state eligible countries, time zone overlap and salary saves both sides time.
MVP scope
- ✓ Job list with filters: eligible countries, time-zone overlap, role type, contract vs employee, and salary range (required field)
- ✓ Post-a-job form that goes straight to Stripe Checkout; the post goes live after a one-click admin approval
- ✓ A static page per job with JobPosting structured data and an automatic expiry date
- ✓ Weekly email digest of new jobs with double opt-in
- ✓ Launch seed: 30 roles linked to employers' own careers pages (title, link and source credit only; no copied descriptions)
Omitted features
- - Do NOT build candidate accounts or an applicant tracking system
- - Do NOT scrape other job boards to fill the list
- - Do NOT accept posts without a salary range and eligible-country list

Build a remote job board for Southeast Asia in Next.js with Tailwind CSS and Supabase. Core requirements: 1. Jobs table fields: title, company, company URL, eligible countries (multi-select: MY, SG, ID, PH, VN, TH, Anywhere in SEA), time-zone overlap, role type, employment type, salary min/max + currency (required), apply URL, posted date, expiry date, featured flag. 2. Home page with filters for every field above plus keyword search; featured jobs pinned at the top with a clear "Featured" label. 3. "Post a job" form that validates the required fields and redirects to Stripe Checkout ($49 standard, $79 with 7-day pin). A Stripe webhook inserts the job with status "pending"; an /admin page (password-protected) approves it. 4. Static page per job at /jobs/[slug] with JobPosting JSON-LD (including validThrough), removed from listings after expiry. 5. Email capture with double opt-in and a weekly digest built from jobs posted in the last 7 days.
