Pinpoint Asia Hiring! Full Time (Typescript) Lead Software Engineer - Leading Fintech Platform - J13311 in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

The Role

We are partnering with a highly agile, lean fintech company in Kuala Lumpur to hire a hands-on Lead Software Engineer. Our client operates with a strict "no spoon-feeding" culture where radical ownership is expected across a team of about 25 high-performing individuals. They are heavily utilizing AI to augment their development workflows and are looking for a deeply technical leader to take charge of a dedicated development unit, modernize platforms, and drive product execution.

Responsibilities

• Lead & Mentor: Manage a team of 4-5 direct reports divided into two core squads: a Crypto Exchange team and an Internal/External Tools team (managing an open-source CRM and client-facing portals).
• Hands-on Development: Drive architecture and write clean, scalable code using a modern stack consisting of full-stack NestJS, PostgreSQL, and Node.js.
• Modernize & Innovate: Ensure all new features and external client-facing platforms are built utilizing the latest TypeScript standards.
• AI Integration: Incorporate AI (such as Claude CODE and OpenAI) directly into your daily development, debugging, and wireframing processes.

Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 4–5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally with a track record of tenure (3+ years at previous roles preferred, though project-based work is acceptable if justified).
• Technical Mastery: Exceptional proficiency in TypeScript, NestJS, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Crucial: You must have a deep, foundational understanding of TypeScript interfaces and advanced typing concepts.
• AI Fluency: You already use AI tools to code faster, debug, or brainstorm architecture, and you have a positive, modern mindset toward AI adoption.
• Communication & Ownership: Exceptional ability to clearly explain architectural trade-offs, past projects, and technical choices. You are someone who takes a project from conception to deployment and understands the "big picture."
• Assessment Readiness: Must be able to pass a rigorous technical deep-dive interview with the CTO and successfully complete a live coding test.

Benefits

• Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP).
• Comprehensive Health Insurance (Personal Accident, Hospital & Surgical, Term Life).
• Generous annual leave and leave entitlements.
• Paid Claude Code Plan subscription.
• Extra benefits include various medical/wellness allowances, education opportunities, and long-service awards.
