About the Role
We are looking for a Director of Software Engineering to lead a 10–15 person backend engineering team in Singapore. You will own the architecture of our core systems and help the team ship reliably and with high quality — combining strong technical judgment with hands-on engineering leadership and effective people management.
What You'll Do
Technical Direction
Own the overall architecture and technology choices for the systems under your remit, with final accountability for their reliability, performance, and maintainability. Lead design and review of critical modules, and drive high-complexity or high-risk initiatives with well-controlled, executable plans. Define the roadmap for system quality — including technical debt reduction, reusable middleware and libraries, and integration testing infrastructure. Team Leadership
Set goals, run performance reviews, and lead hiring and development across the engineering teams in your department. Understand needs across business, product, operations, and risk, and allocate engineering resources accordingly. Establish engineering processes and standards built for the AI era, and lead the team in applying AI pragmatically to raise delivery quality and efficiency.
What We're Looking For
6+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years leading engineering teams. Expert in Golang or Rust, with hands-on experience building and maintaining large-scale applications. Comfortable with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, and SQL. Deep understanding of MySQL transaction isolation levels and their common patterns in real-world application development. Familiarity with standard cloud services, AWS in particular — EC2, EBS, S3, RDS, VPC, ELB, etc. Extensive experience designing, operating, and evolving distributed systems, with a deep understanding of their complexity across transactional semantics, data consistency, testability, and observability — and proven methods for managing it. Professional working proficiency in Mandarin for technical discussion and management communication, as the team collaborates primarily in Mandarin; proficient in written English. Eligible to work in Singapore, or eligible for an Employment Pass.
Nice to Have
Experience building financial services such as asset management, trading, or payments, with familiarity in clearing and settlement, risk management, and double-entry bookkeeping. Familiarity with derivatives, structured products, or DeFi products. Experience managing cross-regional or remote teams.
What We Value
Technical taste — You simplify relentlessly and find reliability in simplicity. You have little tolerance for uncontrolled growth in complexity. Curiosity — You have the interest and patience to learn new things, the drive to get to the root of a problem, and you build solutions from first principles. Pragmatism — Your decisions are grounded in thorough research. You respect ROI and smooth migration paths, and you know what not
