Software Engineer at WORQ – Kuala Lumpur | Jobyssey

As a Software Engineer at WORQ, you will build systems, automations, and digital tools that power our operations and improve the experience of our members and internal teams. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work closely with stakeholders across the organization - from C-level executives to operational teams - transforming real-world business challenges into scalable technical solutions.

You'll own projects end-to-end: gathering requirements, designing solutions, coding, deploying, monitoring, and iterating. You'll work alongside another software engineer, but you'll be expected to independently drive your projects forward and communicate progress, risks, and impact to both technical and non-technical audiences.

If you enjoy building meaningful products, love solving problems, and want your work to have direct real-world impact, we'd love to meet you.
