Job description

Build Complete Products. Own the Technology. Ship Systems That Work.

Company: Thousands of Years Media Sdn. Bhd. (ToYm)

1. ROLE MISSION

At Thousands of Years Media Sdn. Bhd. (ToYm), we are looking for a proven Senior Full Stack Developer who can take ownership of building, improving and maintaining our web, mobile and backend systems.

You will work across BiteShorts and other current or upcoming ToYm digital products.

Your mission is not simply to write code.

Your mission is to help ToYm:

reliable digital products that support our growing businesses.

For BiteShorts, this means strengthening technology that may support:

Content
Users
Creators
Membership
Rewards
Missions
Bite Shop
E-Commerce
Transactions
Payments
Analytics
Advertising
AI Services
Third-Party Integrations

We want to continue strengthening ToYm’s in-house technology capability.

This is not a role where you only work on one layer of a system.

We need someone who understands how a complete product works — from frontend and backend logic to APIs, databases, infrastructure, deployment, monitoring and production support.

2. WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT

Technology at ToYm supports businesses across:

Entertainment
Content
Commerce
Digital Platforms
AI
Creator Economy
Consumer Applications

You may work across mobile applications, web applications, internal systems, consumer platforms, e-commerce, content platforms, APIs, integrations, AI services and new digital products.

You will work across the complete product cycle:

We want someone who can build, troubleshoot and deliver, not someone who only understands one part of development.

3. WHAT YOU WILL OWN

A. End-to-End Application Development

Develop and maintain frontend, backend and database components.
Build reliable, maintainable and production-ready applications.
Support mobile applications and mobile-related backend systems.
Translate business requirements into practical technical solutions.
Take responsibility for how the complete system works together.
Design and develop scalable backend services.
Build and maintain APIs and system integrations.
Manage authentication, permissions, business logic and data flows.
Handle API security, validation, rate limiting and error handling.
Integrate internal systems with third-party platforms.
Optimise queries and application performance.
Protect data integrity and reliability.
Understand indexing, caching, transactions, consistency, backup, recovery and migration.
Identify and resolve database bottlenecks.

D. Deployment & Production Reliability

Support development, staging and production environments.
Work with cloud infrastructure and hosting.
Improve CI/CD and deployment processes.
Monitor applications, APIs, databases and infrastructure.
Diagnose production incidents and identify root causes.
Implement permanent solutions instead of repeated temporary fixes.

When something fails, we want to understand:

What happened?

Why did it happen?

How do we prevent it from happening again?

E. Mobile Applications & Integrations

Build services required by iOS and Android applications.
Support app releases, updates and production issues.
Support push notifications, authentication, analytics and payment integrations.
Understand Apple App Store and Google Play requirements.
Build integrations involving payments, analytics, advertising, content, e-commerce, CRM, AI services and other APIs.
Review existing systems and identify technical weaknesses.
Improve architecture, code quality, security, performance and maintainability.
Reduce unnecessary technical debt.
Implement appropriate testing, code review, monitoring and documentation.
Ensure important technical knowledge does not depend on only one person.

4. END-TO-END OWNERSHIP

You will work closely with:

Product
UI/UX
Growth
Operations
Management
Other Developers

You should be able to take a requirement through:

Your responsibility is the outcome, not simply completing the code.

5. QKSC — WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We do not select people only based on years of experience, academic qualifications or how well they speak during interviews.

We assess candidates through:

6. Q — QUALIFICATION

There is no strict degree requirement and no fixed minimum number of years.

However, you must demonstrate evidence of real production development.

You should have personally contributed significantly to at least one production system involving several of these areas:

Frontend
Databases
APIs
Deployment
Production Troubleshooting

Where available, show:

GitHub
Technical Portfolio
Live Systems
Published Applications
Other Verifiable Work

Most importantly, you must be able to explain:

What did YOU personally build?

Production systems are more valuable to us than tutorial projects, certificates or unfinished prototypes.

7. K — KNOWLEDGE

You should demonstrate practical knowledge across areas such as:

Frontend & Backend Architecture
API Design
Database Design
Authentication & Authorisation
CI/CD
Git
Security
Testing
Monitoring / Observability
Caching
CDN
Object Storage
Database Indexing
Backup & Recovery
Performance Optimisation
Third-Party Integrations
Scalability

We do not require one fixed technology stack.

What matters is whether you understand software engineering fundamentals and can adapt to the technologies required by the product.

8. S — SKILL

You should be able to:

Build features end-to-end.
Design databases and APIs.
Integrate third-party services.
Implement authentication and permissions.
Deploy production systems.
Identify performance bottlenecks.
Review and improve existing code and architecture.
Explain technical trade-offs.
Translate business requirements into technical solutions.
Decide what should be built now versus later.

9. C — COMPETENCY

We particularly value:

Ownership — Take responsibility for outcomes.

Problem Solving — Identify symptoms, root causes, options, trade-offs and solutions.

Effective Execution — Move from idea to working production system.

Product Thinking — Understand users, business objectives, cost, speed, technical constraints and scalability.

Learning Agility — Learn new frameworks, platforms, APIs and AI tools when required.

Responsibility — Communicate risks early and follow through.

Prioritisation — Separate critical issues from nice-to-have improvements.

Communication — Explain technical matters clearly.

Working Under Ambiguity — Clarify objectives and propose solutions without waiting for every detail.

10. WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN YEARS OR CERTIFICATES

We want to understand:

What production systems have you built?
What did you personally build?
How many users or transactions did they support?
Why did you choose the architecture?
What failed after launch?
How did you monitor reliability?
What changed as usage increased?
What would you do differently today?
Can you take a feature from requirement to production?

11. BITESHORTS CONTEXT

One key platform you may work on is BiteShorts.

BiteShorts is being developed beyond a short-form entertainment application into an ecosystem that may include content, users, creators, membership, rewards, Bite Shop, merchant missions, commerce, payments, advertising, analytics, AI and third‑party integrations.

As usage grows, we need engineers who ask not only:

“Does the feature work?”

but also:

“Will it remain reliable when usage increases?”

12. SELECTION PROCESS

Shortlisted candidates may be asked to:

Explain a production system they personally helped build.
Explain or draw its architecture.
Discuss a real production incident and root cause.
Explain what might fail if traffic increased significantly.
Complete a practical assessment covering architecture, API/database design, coding, debugging or performance analysis.
Discuss how they would strengthen BiteShorts technology during their first 90 days.

We are not looking for one perfect answer.

We want to understand how you think, what you can actually do and what you have genuinely owned.
