About this role
Who We Are
NEXT Ventures is a global fintech group operating FundedNext (proprietary trading) and FNmarkets (CFD brokerage), with teams across Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, and Dubai. The People & Culture HRIS team builds the technology that powers how we hire, onboard, and support our people.
Your Role in Our Mission
You are the hands-on engineer behind the HRIS team's technology platform. You design, build, deploy, and maintain end-to-end systems across backend, frontend, and DevOps, with a strong focus on agentic, AI-powered automation that extends our HR stack beyond what off-the-shelf platforms offer.
Working under the HRIS Team Lead, you turn ideas and requirements into reliable, production-grade systems, and bring an architect's mindset to how they are structured and scaled.
This is an entry-professional role. We are looking for a builder with a proven full-stack foundation and the aptitude to grow into independent system ownership, not a finished architect on day one. Advanced capabilities below are assessed as demonstrated ability or strong aptitude.
How You'll Make an Impact
End-to-end system development
-
Design and build complete systems across the stack: backend services, frontend interfaces, and the logic connecting them, from concept to production.
-
Own the full build lifecycle for assigned systems: data modeling, API development, UI implementation, and integration.
-
Apply sound UI/UX sensibility to deliver clean, usable interfaces.
Agentic and AI-powered systems
-
Build LLM integrations, agent workflows, and autonomous task execution that streamline HR processes.
-
Integrate AI/LLM APIs and orchestration tooling into internal platforms.
-
Prototype rapidly, then harden promising prototypes into dependable production tools.
System architecture and design
-
Translate requirements from the HRIS Team Lead into a clear technical architecture and buildable plan.
-
Map platform structure, data flows, and components before building; document pragmatic architectural choices.
-
Think end-to-end about how systems fit together, scale, and stay maintainable.
DevOps and infrastructure
-
Set up and manage deployment pipelines, environments, and hosting.
-
Handle version control, CI/CD, and cloud operations.
-
Monitor running systems and respond to issues to keep them reliable.
Debugging, quality, and maintenance
-
Debug complex issues across frontend, backend, integrations, and infrastructure down to root cause.
-
Write readable, well-organized, maintainable code.
-
Maintain, refactor, and improve existing systems as requirements evolve.
Collaboration and continuous improvement
-
Work closely with the HRIS Team Lead to prioritize, scope, and iterate on the technical roadmap.
-
Keep learning new languages, tools, and techniques and apply them to the platform.
-
Solve problems independently and escalate genuinely complex or ambiguous decisions.
What You Bring
-
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent demonstrated building ability (strong portfolio or shipped projects).
-
Experience building and shipping end-to-end systems. Academic, personal, internship, and professional projects all count at this level.
-
A portfolio or GitHub showing full-stack systems built from scratch.
-
Proficiency in JavaScript and Python.
-
Working knowledge of, or demonstrated aptitude for, Rust or another relevant stack.
-
Basic familiarity with other languages and a proven ability to learn new ones quickly.
-
Backend: API design, server logic, and databases.
-
Frontend: modern frameworks, responsive UI, and design sense.
-
Integration: connecting services, third-party APIs, and data flows.
-
Exposure to AI/LLM APIs and agentic or automation tooling, with the ability to build AI-powered features.
-
Understanding of how to orchestrate, prompt, and integrate AI components into real systems.
-
Git, deployment, and CI/CD fundamentals, with comfort in cloud and hosting environments.
X-Factor
-
Architect's mindset: you think in systems and structures, not isolated tasks.
-
Strong, resourceful debugger: you stay with a problem until you find the root cause.
-
Eager to learn: you keep developing your skills and pick up new tools quickly.
-
Self-directed problem-solver: tenacious, and able to make progress without hand-holding.
