Pertiwi Oligo Hiring! Full Time Senior Software Engineer in Federal Territory, Earn up to MYR 8,000 - Ricebowl

The role

We're hiring a senior engineer to significantly increase delivery velocity across the platform.

This is a senior individual contributor role with broad ownership across the stack. You'll work across:

• domain modelling
• backend implementation
• persistence
• UI development
• integration testing
• operational and architectural concerns

We expect engineers here to engage with technical and product decisions, not just execute isolated tickets.

You should be comfortable reading unfamiliar code, understanding why a pattern exists before changing it, and pushing back constructively when something does not look right.

What you'll be doing

• Owning features end-to-end. From domain modelling and business logic through to UI implementation and testing.
• Working within an opinionated codebase. Important conventions are enforced through automated tooling and tests rather than tribal knowledge.
• Building secure multi-tenant SaaS systems. Tenant isolation and access boundaries are foundational concerns throughout the stack.
• Modelling complex business workflows. Approvals, leave accruals, employee lifecycle events, compliance rules, auditability, and regional operational differences.
• Maintaining high UI standards. Administrative and configuration experiences receive the same level of care as user-facing functionality.
• Using AI thoughtfully in product design and engineering workflows. We evaluate where AI genuinely improves outcomes and where it creates unnecessary complexity or risk.

Required

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend or full-stack products in a statically typed language such as C#, Java, Kotlin, Go, or TypeScript on Node.
• Strong code-reading and debugging skills in mature codebases.
• Solid domain modelling instincts including aggregates, invariants, boundaries, and transactional consistency.
• Experience working in layered or CQRS-style systems with middleware or pipeline-based cross-cutting concerns.
• Strong ORM experience and awareness of correctness and performance pitfalls.
• Experience building or operating multi-tenant SaaS systems.
• Security-first instincts around authorisation, tenant isolation, and fail-closed behaviour.
• Strong testing discipline, particularly integration testing against real infrastructure and databases.
• Experience with at least one server-side-rendered UI framework or architecture.
• Comfort working in systems that use explicit result or error flows rather than exception-driven business logic.
• Ability to review technical designs critically and communicate disagreement clearly and constructively.

Hands-on with AI coding agents is required

We use AI coding agents heavily as part of the engineering workflow. This is not experimental tooling for us. It is part of day-to-day development.

You should have meaningful production experience with tools such as:

• Claude Code
• OpenAI Codex / Codex CLI
• Cursor agent mode
• or equivalent workflows

We expect you to be able to:

• Break work into tasks agents can execute reliably.
• Recognise when an agent is producing plausible but incorrect output.
• Review AI-generated code critically rather than trusting passing tests blindly.
• Work effectively with plan docs, structured prompts, and review loops.
• Configure and customise your own agent workflows and tooling.

If you've only used AI assistants casually, this is probably not the right fit.

Bonus points

• Experience with HRMS, payroll, finance, healthcare, or other regulated-data systems.
• Experience integrating LLMs into production software with proper safeguards and observability.
• Workflow or approvals engine experience.
• Familiarity with SEA regulatory environments.
• Public technical writing, talks, or open-source contributions.
• Advanced or customised AI-agent workflows or tooling.

How we work

• Design before implementation. Substantial changes start with a design document and tracked discussion before code is written.
• Automated enforcement over process reminders. If a rule matters, we prefer enforcing it in tooling or tests rather than relying on review comments.
• Direct and respectful communication. We optimise for good technical outcomes and expect engineers to challenge ideas constructively when needed.
• Security-sensitive by default. Missing or ambiguous security context should fail safely rather than silently broadening access.
• Written communication matters. We're remote and async-friendly, so clear written reasoning is an important engineering skill.
• AI evaluation is part of product thinking. Every feature gets evaluated for whether AI meaningfully improves it. Often the correct answer is "no".

Tech stack (high level)

C# and .NET on the backend, server-side-rendered Blazor on the frontend, PostgreSQL for persistence, Redis for caching, KeyCloak for identity, OpenTelemetry for observability, Quartz for scheduled work, and AI API integrations for AI-assisted functionality.

You do not need prior experience with every technology listed above. You do need to be capable of becoming productive in unfamiliar areas quickly.
