Senior backend engineer in Kuala Lumpur who owns service architecture on a client engagement: designing service boundaries and data models, shipping and reviewing code every 2–4 weeks, and staying responsible for integrations and fixes after go-live. Core stack: a server-side language and a relational database.
You own the service architecture on a client engagement: the data model, the boundaries between services, and the decisions that are hard to reverse later. Once it is live you are still the one holding it, which tends to change how you design.
What you will do
- Design service boundaries and data models for a system that has to run for years rather than demo well.
- Write and review the code your team ships every two to four weeks.
- Take integrations to the point where they hold against a third party's real behaviour, not their documentation.
- Stay attached after go-live and fix the causes of what goes wrong.
What you will bring
- Several years building backend services other people depend on daily.
- Depth in at least one server-side language and a relational database.
- Experience owning a data model through schema changes, not only consuming one.
- Judgement about when to keep something simple and when the complexity is genuinely needed.
