Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

We embrace AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. While "vibe coding" is welcome here, we believe AI is a powerful tool—not a substitute for understanding what you are building. We are looking for team members who can effectively guide AI, rather than simply be guided by it.

Key Responsibilities

Build and deliver features across our web technology stack, primarily using React/Next.js and Node.js.

Work across frontend, backend, and occasionally DevOps-related tasks.

Collaborate closely with the founder on product strategy, technical architecture, and solution design.

Leverage AI coding tools to accelerate development while ensuring that all code is reviewed, tested, and fully understood before deployment.

Troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, write clean and maintainable code, and contribute to a scalable codebase.

Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, technical discussions, and occasional whiteboard sessions.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

0–3 years of software development experience (fresh graduates with strong project portfolios are encouraged to apply).

Solid understanding of software development fundamentals, including HTTP, REST APIs, Git, and basic database concepts (SQL and/or NoSQL).

Comfortable using AI coding assistants and prompt engineering techniques to enhance productivity.

Ability to review AI-generated code and identify potential issues related to performance, security, maintainability, and correctness.

Strong written English skills, as most communication and documentation are conducted in English.

Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision.

Malaysian only

Nice to have:

Experience with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and modern React patterns (e.g., Hooks, Server Components).

Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Vercel, AWS, GCP, or equivalent services.

Exposure to mobile application development, DevOps practices, or backend system development.

An active GitHub profile, personal projects, or contributions to open-source projects.

Previous internship, startup, or industry experience.

What “Knowing Basic Engineering” Means to Us

You don’t need to be a CS theory expert, but you should understand:

Why we use version control and how to write a clean commit

The difference between frontend and backend, and how they communicate

Basic security awareness (don’t commit secrets, sanitize inputs, etc.)

What “testing” means and why it matters

How to debug — reading logs, error messages, and stack traces instead of just pasting them into AI
