Job Description

Responsibilities

Why PayNet / Why Now

  • PayNet is modernizing critical applications and architecture to create technology platforms that are scalable, resilient, and ready for evolving payment needs.
  • This transformation includes expanding in-house engineering capability and building stronger ownership of software delivery beyond vendor-led execution.
  • As technical complexity grows, PayNet needs leaders who can connect strategic ambition with disciplined engineering decisions and predictable delivery.
  • This is an opportunity to shape how modern applications are built, delivered, and continuously improved within Malaysia’s payments ecosystem.

TL;DR

  • Own the technical delivery of application modernization initiatives from direction-setting through production outcomes.
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams through ambiguity, balancing delivery pace, engineering quality, cost, and risk.
  • Shape decisions across software architecture, cloud adoption, delivery planning, and quality standards.
  • Build trusted alignment among engineers, product owners, business stakeholders, and external partners.
  • Grow PayNet’s internal delivery capability while reducing dependency on outsourced development.

Why This Role Matters

  • The quality of technical delivery directly influences the reliability, resilience, and long-term maintainability of PayNet’s modernized applications.
  • Strong decisions in this role will turn strategic priorities into working software without compromising quality or creating unmanaged technical risk.
  • The role creates clarity when business expectations, engineering realities, resources, and delivery timelines compete.
  • It strengthens accountability across teams by making risks, trade-offs, and delivery progress visible to decision makers.
  • This role requires judgment over process, with the confidence to challenge plans that do not lead to sustainable outcomes.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Own technical delivery outcomes, setting clear priorities and making informed trade-offs across scope, quality, time, cost, and risk.
  • Lead engineers and cross-functional contributors through delivery milestones, technical impediments, changing requirements, and continuous improvement.
  • Shape technical direction alongside architecture and engineering stakeholders, particularly for cloud-based, scalable, and resilient applications.
  • Drive quality by embedding effective testing, automation, continuous integration and delivery, and practical engineering standards throughout development.
  • Influence stakeholders through clear, evidence-based communication that translates technical complexity into business choices and consequences.
  • Build internal engineering capability through coaching, constructive challenge, knowledge-sharing, and purposeful collaboration with external partners.

Examples of This Role in Practice

  • A delivery milestone is at risk, so you bring the right stakeholders together, expose the underlying constraints, and decide which trade-offs protect the most important outcome.
  • A proposed technical shortcut could create future instability, so you challenge the approach and guide the team towards a more sustainable solution.
  • A modernized application is moving to AWS, so you align architecture, delivery sequencing, testing, security considerations, and operational readiness.
  • Delivery depends heavily on a third-party vendor, so you clarify accountabilities, raise quality expectations, and transfer meaningful knowledge to PayNet’s internal team.
  • Team performance data reveals recurring bottlenecks, so you turn retrospective insights into focused changes that improve flow, predictability, and product quality.

What Will Help You Succeed

Required

  • Strong judgment across software delivery, with the ability to make balanced decisions when technical, business, cost, and timeline priorities conflict.
  • Practical knowledge of software development, Agile ways of working, quality engineering, delivery risk, and modern engineering practices.
  • The credibility to engage engineers in technical discussions while communicating clearly with non-technical stakeholders and decision makers.
  • A leadership style built on ownership, transparency, constructive challenge, coaching, and accountability for outcomes.

Helpful

  • Familiarity with AWS or comparable cloud platforms, containerization, continuous integration and delivery, automated testing, and engineering collaboration tools.
  • Exposure to banking, payments, regulated technology environments, application modernisation, or transitions from outsourced to in-house development.
