Job description

At Decube, we're not just developing a platform; we're redefining how enterprises approach data health and quality. Our cutting‑edge data observability platform empowers data teams to proactively manage and maintain the integrity of their systems, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. By preventing data quality incidents, we enable our clients to concentrate on driving revenue and innovation, rather than getting bogged down by day‑to‑day data challenges.

Founded in 2022, Decube is the brainchild of seasoned experts in Data and Technology, boasting decades of combined industry experience. Our goal? To revolutionize data governance and observability for enterprises across the globe, helping them harness the full potential of their data assets.

We're looking for innovative minds, problem‑solvers, and individuals who are as passionate about data as we are. If you're ready to make a significant impact in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment, Decube is the place for you.

Engineering at Decube

• We're developing new features with Python, Rust, and React (TypeScript), while integrating seamlessly with various Data Engineering tools through efficient connectors and APIs. Our setup is backed by reliable databases and Elasticsearch and deployed effortlessly to AWS using ArgoCD for continuous delivery.
• No need to worry if these aren’t already in your toolkit—we're passionate about supporting talented engineers to master our stack. Our workflow is agile without the rigidity of strict Scrum or Kanban; we’re all about working smarter, iterating often, and evolving what fits best for our team.
• If you like seeing your code in action, you’ll love it here. We deploy to production regularly, so the impact of your work is seen right away.

Job Description

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including Product Managers and Frontend Team, to understand project requirements and translate them into efficient and reliable software solutions.
• Design, develop, and maintain backend systems using Rust & Python, ensuring high performance and scalability.
• Write clean, modular, and well‑documented code following best practices and coding standards.
• Perform thorough testing, debugging, and troubleshooting to identify and resolve software defects and performance issues.
• Stay updated with industry trends and advancements in backend technologies and programming languages to continuously enhance our development processes.

Job Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is a plus—but not a requirement. We value practical experience and curiosity more than formal education.
• At least 2 years of hands‑on experience in software development, with exposure to backend systems.
• You’ve built or contributed to web application projects—either professionally or as personal/side projects. We care more about what you’ve built than where you’ve built it.
• Willingness to work with Python and contribute to an existing Python codebase.
• Good grasp of software fundamentals; data structures, algorithms, and clean code principles.
• Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL), message queues, and caching systems.
• Understanding of version control (Git) and exposure to Agile software development practices.
• Comfortable with the basics of containerization (e.g., Docker).
• A problem‑solving mindset, eagerness to learn, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a collaborative team.
• Clear and thoughtful communication skills, especially when explaining technical topics.
• Applicants must have valid working rights in Malaysia (Citizen, PR, or Spouse Visa), as visa sponsorship is not available.
