This role is based in Malaysia with a hybrid work arrangement - combining flexible remote work with in-office collaboration at our Kuala Lumpur HQ. You’ll work closely with regional teams across product, engineering, and data to build and scale impactful AI solutions.

  • Develop and maintain scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure
  • Integrate ML outputs into user-facing applications and backend systems
  • Stay on top of new AI/ML research and tools, and apply relevant innovations
  • Support system performance, debugging, and optimization in production environments

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

  • Take ownership - you care about what you build and the outcomes it drives
  • Work independently and figure things out without waiting for perfect direction
  • Embrace speed and ambiguity - you're comfortable with shifting priorities
  • Are curious, motivated, and always eager to grow your technical and product-thinking skills
  • Enjoy helping teammates and contributing to a humble, high-performing team culture
  • Are proactive - you solve problems end-to-end, even if it means learning something new
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment where done > perfect and learning is constant

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or related field
  • 2 - 4 years of experience in AI/ML engineering or backend software development
  • Strong Python programming skills and familiarity with ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn)
  • Solid understanding of the ML lifecycle - from data wrangling to model deployment
  • Familiarity with deploying models into real-world systems or APIs
  • Experience using tools like Jupyter, Google Colab, or cloud-based ML platforms
  • Strong analytical thinking, debugging, and communication skills
  • Based in Malaysia, with the ability to work in a hybrid setup from PJ HQ

Nice to Have

  • Experience in NLP, computer vision, or recommender systems
  • Exposure to cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP)
  • Familiarity with Docker, Git, CI/CD, or model deployment pipelines
  • Experience working in fast-growth startups or agile product environments

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
  • Hybrid work flexibility; remote work plus in-person collaboration at our PJ HQ
  • High ownership and visibility - your work will reach millions
  • Rapid learning and growth in a mission-driven company
  • Flat structure where your voice is heard and ideas are valued
