Senior Software Developer (PHP / Python)

Location: Kuala Lumpur - TRX

Work arrangement: On-site

About the Role

We are building a small, high-quality engineering team in Kuala Lumpur and are looking for experienced developers who enjoy solving real problems and working across multiple parts of the stack.

This role is ideal for engineers who are comfortable working in both PHP and Python environments and who enjoy collaborating in an Agile development environment. Candidates with experience across both backend and adjacent systems (“dual-stack” developers) will be especially valuable to our team.

You will be joining a growing organization that values thoughtful engineering, clear communication, and developers who take ownership of the systems they build.

What You’ll Work On

You will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of backend services and applications that support our core business systems.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing and building backend services using PHP and Python
• Collaborating with product and engineering teams using an Agile development methodology
• Writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code
• Contributing to system architecture decisions and improving existing systems
• Participating in code reviews and technical discussions
• Debugging issues and improving application performance
• Working with APIs, databases, and service integrations

Preferred Technical Background

We are interested in developers who bring strong engineering fundamentals and practical experience building production systems.

Ideal candidates may have experience with:

• PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, or similar)
• Python frameworks (Django, Flask, or FastAPI)
• RESTful API development
• SQL databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
• Version control systems such as Git
• Containerization or cloud infrastructure (Docker, AWS, etc.)
• Agile / Scrum development practices

Developers with experience working across multiple technologies or layers of the stack (dual-stack) are strongly encouraged to apply.

What We Value

Beyond technical skills, we look for engineers who:

• Take ownership of their work
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues
• Enjoy solving complex problems
• Continuously improve their skills and learn new technologies
• Work well in collaborative engineering environments

Location

This role is based in TRX (Tun Razak Exchange), Kuala Lumpur, one of the city’s fastest growing business districts.

How to Apply

Please apply with your resume and, if available, links to any relevant projects, Git repositories, or technical portfolios that demonstrate your experience.

We welcome candidates who are passionate about building well-designed systems and contributing to a strong engineering culture.
