The role
You'll be one of the first engineers on a new line of AI-powered products alongside our existing tools. You'll work directly with me and with customers, and own features end to end, with as much guidance as you need and as much scope as you can handle. Expect ambiguity, fast iteration, and a lot of learning. We work AI-native: you'll use Claude Code, Cursor, and similar tools every day, and own what they produce. This role is for engineers with up to 3 years of professional experience. Fresh graduates are very welcome.

Why join us
- Work directly with a technical founder who has built and run a profitable company for 10 years
- Build entirely new products with real customers from day one, backed by an existing profitable business
- Ownership that grows with you: your scope expands as fast as you can take it on
- A small engineering team where your work ships fast and its impact is visible
Qualifications
- 0-3 years of professional experience. Fresh graduates and recent graduates are encouraged to apply; we hire for competence and trajectory, not pedigree.
- CS degree or equivalent
- Proof that you build things: shipped products, side projects, internships, hackathons, open source, or a final-year project
What matters most (must have)
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and networking basics
- Problem definition: you turn a vague problem into a clear plan before writing code
- Ownership: you take work from idea to shipped without waiting to be told what's next
- You learn fast and pick up new tools, codebases, and domains quickly
- You use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) well and understand the code they produce. You can explain every line you ship.
- Verification mindset: testing, debugging, security awareness, and not trusting code just because it runs
- Product sense: you care whether what you build is useful, and make good calls on what to build and what to cut
- Clear written and verbal communication
Technical foundation (must have)
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (we use TypeScript, Node, and React)
- Solid understanding of relational and non-relational databases: data modeling, queries, and indexes
- System design fundamentals: APIs, caching, queues, and basic scalability tradeoffs
- Working knowledge of Linux, Git, and Docker
Nice to have
- Production experience with TypeScript, Node, or React
- AWS and CI/CD
- Experience designing and running systems at scale
Work hours:
Full time. You must not have a second job or be freelancing.
You must already have the legal right to work in Malaysia. We are unable to sponsor Employment Passes or other work visas.
Compensation and perks
- Competitive salary, depending on experience
- Performance based bonuses
- Once a year company sponsored trip
- Opportunities for fast career growth
Interview Process
- Resume and questionnaire screening
- Introduction call
- Live coding, no AI (45-60 min): a practical problem such as parsing data, building a small API endpoint, or fixing a bug in existing code. We look at correctness, clarity, and how you debug.
- AI-assisted take-home: build a realistic feature in a small codebase using your normal AI tools, then walk us through what you shipped and why.
- Project deep-dive or system design, depending on your experience: walk us through something you built, and we'll dig into your decisions, tradeoffs, and what you'd do differently.
