Do you thrive on building high‑quality, scalable software solutions and shaping the technical direction of products that thousands of companies rely on every day?

At Finago, we’re setting a new standard for financial and human resources software. Our mission? To become the most customer‑centric business software company out there. To succeed in our goal, we’re now looking for new Tech Leads for our Kuala Lumpur office to help us make it happen. The preferred start date for the position is September 2026.

Your mission? 🚀 

As our Tech Lead, you play a critical role in establishing and maintaining technical excellence within one of Finago’s software engineering teams working on either Finago Office or Mepco, both business‑critical B2B SaaS products trusted by thousands of customers.

Each engineering team owns a part of the product and is responsible for delivering reliable, secure, and maintainable software. In this role, you combine senior‑level hands‑on development with technical leadership and serve as the primary technical guide for your team. You lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of software solutions while ensuring high engineering standards and delivery excellence.

While the role and expectations for technical leadership are similar, the technical focus and architecture differ between the product lines.

In Finago Office, you work with a modern, cloud‑native tech stack. The daily work focuses on React with TypeScript and MUI on the frontend, and Node.js with TypeScript and C# .NET on the backend. The system is built on a microservice‑based and increasingly event‑driven architecture, supported by cloud platforms, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines. In this product line, you have a strong opportunity to influence architectural decisions, technical direction, and engineering practices.

In Finago Mepco, you work on a mature and business‑critical payroll and HR solution with deep domain complexity. The tech stack is based on React with TypeScript on the frontend and C# .NET on the backend, with a strong emphasis on reliability, correctness, and long‑term maintainability.

You work closely with Product Owners, QA, Design, and engineering leadership across locations to ensure alignment with Finago’s architectural and development best practices. You’ll be part of our growing 20+ person Finago KL community, combining hands‑on development with technical leadership while collaborating closely with colleagues across the Nordics.

💡 Your key tasks and responsibilities include: 

• Providing technical leadership and mentorship to Software Engineers, fostering professional growth and a culture of technical excellence.
• Leading the design and implementation of new features and system enhancements in close collaboration with Product Owners, translating business needs into robust technical solutions.
• Ensuring agreed technical standards, architectural principles, and development practices are followed consistently.
• Developing a deep understanding of the team’s software and product domain to support well‑informed technical decisions.
• Participating actively in architectural discussions and influencing long‑term technical direction.
• Troubleshooting complex issues and providing scalable, sustainable solutions.
• Championing best practices in testing, automation, observability, security, CI/CD, and AI usage.
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and upskilling of new team members.
• Promoting collaboration, transparency, shared ownership, and continuous improvement within the team.

This is a permanent, full‑time hybrid‑model position located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (KLCC Common Ground). We are currently working in a co‑working space, but we are looking for an office near our current location. The move is expected to take place later this year.  

💎 Finago has been a genuinely supportive place to grow both professionally and personally. I’ve had the opportunity to take on meaningful challenges, build my skills, and work alongside a team that values collaboration and continuous learning. The environment here encourages you to push yourself while knowing you have support when you need it. — Akram Imtiaz, Software Developer
