About the role
You review architecture, harden systems, and handle the security requirements that come with public sector and financial clients. Those requirements are specific and they are audited.
What you will do
- Review designs and code for security before they ship.
- Harden infrastructure and manage vulnerability response.
- Prepare for and support client security audits and penetration tests.
- Set the standards the delivery teams build against.
What you will bring
- Applied security experience on systems that were shipped, not only assessed.
- Familiarity with common frameworks and with what auditors ask for.
- Enough engineering depth to propose a fix, not only a finding.
- A sense of proportion about which risk actually matters here.
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.
