  • Enjoy flexible working arrangements, comprehensive benefits, and continuous training opportunities designed to fuel your career progression in this ever-evolving industry.

What you'll do:

As a Software Engineering Lead based in Kuala Lumpur, you’ll be at the heart of shaping tomorrow’s intelligent building management solutions. Your days will be filled with architecting powerful software systems that tackle real-world challenges in energy management while ensuring they’re ready for future growth. You’ll collaborate closely with skilled developers to weave advanced 3D visualisation features into user-friendly web applications—giving clients instant insights into their HVAC and refrigeration systems. By working alongside cross-functional teams including product management, QA, DevOps, and more, you’ll guarantee that every solution is both technically brilliant and perfectly aligned with business goals. Your nurturing mentorship will create an environment where knowledge flows freely and everyone feels empowered to grow. Success here means not just delivering exceptional software but also inspiring your team to embrace best practices, explore new technologies thoughtfully, and stay committed to sustainability every step of the way.

  • Mentor and uplift a team of full stack developers throughout every phase of the software development lifecycle, fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared achievement.

  • Oversee deployment strategies for on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid environments—ensuring flexibility for every client scenario.
  • Lead knowledge sharing within the team through engaging training sessions, insightful code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving initiatives.

What you bring:

To thrive as a Software Engineering Lead in this forward-thinking organisation, you’ll bring deep hands-on experience designing end-to-end software solutions for complex technical environments. Your background should include significant time spent mentoring others—helping them flourish while ensuring project success through thoughtful guidance. A strong grasp of both frontend frameworks (such as React.js or Angular) and backend technologies (like Java Spring Boot or Node.js) is essential for delivering integrated solutions that are reliable and scalable. Experience deploying applications across various environments—including on-premises infrastructure as well as public clouds—will allow you to tailor deployments according to each client’s unique needs. Your ability to incorporate advanced 3D visualisation techniques sets you apart as someone who can turn intricate system data into actionable insights for users. Most importantly, your interpersonal skills—marked by empathy, dependability, clear communication, and a genuine desire to see others succeed—will help create an inclusive atmosphere where every team member feels valued.

  • A minimum of ten years’ experience in software development with at least two to three years spent guiding teams or managing projects within a technical leadership capacity—your wisdom will be invaluable.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in full stack development using modern frameworks such as React.js, Angular or Vue.js for frontend; Java (Spring Boot), Node.js or TypeScript for backend; along with PostgreSQL, MySQL or MongoDB databases—your expertise will drive results.
  • Hands-on experience architecting scalable software systems that can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud (AWS or Azure), or via hybrid models depending on client requirements—flexibility is key.
  • Proven ability to integrate 3D graphics or animations into web applications using libraries like WebGL or Three.js for enhanced system visualisation—your creativity will shine.
  • Familiarity with microservices architectures, REST APIs design principles, CI/CD pipelines (Docker/Jenkins/Git), and DevOps best practices—your technical know-how will set you apart.
  • Excellent communication skills paired with a nurturing approach to team leadership—enabling you to build trustful relationships across diverse groups.
  • A solid understanding of HVAC systems or building automation technologies gained through direct project involvement or relevant industry exposure—your insight will add value.
  • Commitment to engineering excellence by driving code quality initiatives, agile processes adoption, and continuous learning within your team—your dedication inspires others.
