About the role
You run a delivery team: the technical decisions, the review, and the conversation with the client about what ships next. It is a hands-on role rather than a management layer above one.
What you will do
- Lead a team of engineers through a live engagement.
- Make and defend the technical calls, and review the code.
- Agree scope and sequence with the client each increment.
- Grow the people on your team, graduates included.
What you will bring
- A track record of shipping as a senior engineer, and some experience leading.
- Willingness to stay in the code.
- Directness with clients about what is and is not possible.
- Judgement about which problems to escalate.
What we offer
Own real systems
From the first architecture session through to live operation, rather than a slice of someone else's design.
Work with the people you build for
Direct contact with the people using what you build, with no account layer in between.
Ship in increments
Work delivered in two to four week increments, demonstrated and accepted before the next one starts.
Grow on a real budget
An RM 1,000 yearly learning allowance, conference time counted as work, and group insurance cover from your first day.
Who we are
idataraya is a Malaysian software company. We design, build and then operate the systems our clients run their organisations on, for businesses and public institutions across Malaysia.
The engineers who design and build a system are the ones who keep it running afterwards. That is the shape of the whole company, and it is why the roles here look the way they do.
