In Maybank, we are seeking a hands-on engineer to support the Emerging Technologies function within the FinTech & Emerging Tech CoE.
This role focuses on adapting and building new technologies including digital asset and tokenization capabilities, delivering high-impact experiments and scalable reference architectures aligned with the bank’s strategic priorities.
You will work across engineering, experimentation, and business collaboration to translate emerging technologies into practical, enterprise-ready solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering and Platform Development Design, build, and integrate software and infrastructure for emerging technology initiatives, including blockchain-based solutions, smart contracts, APIs, and microservices.
Develop reference architectures and standards in line with security, cryptographic, and enterprise architecture policies and best practices.
Work hands-on with containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code to support emerging technology workloads.
Develop tools as needed to support automation and maintenance across the emerging technology SDLC.
Experimentation and Prototyping
Build PoCs and MVPs with a clear path to productionization, ensuring design decisions account for scalability, security, and operational constraints from the outset
Run small, high-impact experiments to validate use cases and identify quick wins.
Set up and manage sandbox and test environments.
Document outcomes and recommend scaling approaches.
Collaboration and Technology Evaluation
Work with business stakeholders to assess solution maturity and use-case applicability, including build vs buy vs partner assessments and RFI / RFP / RFQs.
Translate functional and non-functional requirements into technical designs and working solutions.
Contribute to defining architecture patterns, governance frameworks, and design standards for digital asset implementations.
Scaling and Operationalization
Evolve PoCs into enterprise-grade solutions with production readiness (e.g., resilience, scalability, security).
Develop tools and playbooks for continued support and maintenance of deployed assets (e.g., monitoring, testing, forensics).
Enable integration with external ecosystems, marketplaces, and digital asset networks.
Document and track technology debt and key business continuity risk items with defined action plans.
Role requirements
Experience developing production-grade Digital Assets solutions, such as tokenization platforms, lifecycle management, custody solutions, compliance / risk management systems, interoperability protocols, etc.
Strong programming skills (e.g., Java, Typescript / NodeJS, Python, Go, Solidity and / or Rust).
Experience in scalable API, WebSocket, Microservices, Event-Based and Cloud-Native architectures.
Experience working with various emerging technologies across infrastructure to application layers.
Hands-on experience with containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD systems)
Practical understanding of applied cryptography and secure system design, particularly in regulated or financial environments.
Strong problem-solving capabilities and ability to operate in agile, fast-paced experimental environments.
Effective communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
