You’ll architect and build core infrastructure that powers real-world systems across Southeast Asia - from national deployments to millions of high-frequency transactions.
·
Deep ownership \& autonomy:
You’ll have end-to-end responsibility for major backend services, influence product direction, and help shape our engineering culture as we scale.
·
Technically challenging problems:
From high-throughput payment rails to geospatial search optimisation, expect to work on systems where performance, reliability, and scale actually matter.
·
Opportunities to grow and lead:
Whether you want to mentor engineers, lead architecture discussions, or drive cross-team initiatives, we’ll support you in becoming a key technical leader.
·
A product-focused engineering culture:
We ship fast, iterate quickly, maintain a growth mindset, and keep a high bar for engineering quality.
Key Responsibilities:
· Design and build scalable backend systems
including payments, telemetry ingestion, geospatial indexes etc.
·
Develop products that accelerate EV adoption
, such as open payments (wallets, cards, agentic commerce), real-time pricing engines, and interoperability tools between operators.
·
Own critical platform components
end-to-end
: architecture, implementation, deployment, observability, and ongoing reliability.
·
Collaborate with cross-functional teams
to define system behaviour, improve user experience, and ship features that impact consumers, operators, and government partners.
·
Continuously improve system performance and scalability
, including database optimisation, caching strategies, concurrency improvements, and distributed system design.
·
Improve developer experience and internal tooling
, ensuring our CI/CD, observability, and debugging workflows remain world-class.
·
Mentor junior engineers
, give constructive code reviews, and promote engineering best practices across the team.
·
Work on innovative projects
involving MCP, intelligent agents, data pipelines, and emerging AI-driven infrastructure.
Requirements:
A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent working experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
2-4 years of experience with Backend software development.
Comfortable working in a Unix/Shell environment.
Prior experience working with relational (preferably PostgreSQL) and/or NoSQL databases.
Familiarity with DevOps / Observability tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, ArgoCD, OpenTelemetry and Grafana.
Experience designing highly-available systems using a microservice architecture.
Optional but preferable skills:
Experience working with Golang and TypeScript.
Knowledge of how to optimize and tune server performance (caching, SQL).
Experience designing event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
Experience building data pipelines.
Experience working with generative AI (MCP, Vector databases, RAG etc.)
Working understanding of networking (TCP).
Knowledge of EV charging protocols such as OCPP and OCPI.
