Job description

A leading regional bank is building the next generation of its digital banking platforms across Asia Pacific and they're looking for a hands‑on engineering leader to drive it.

You will own engineering excellence for our high‑volume web and mobile channel applications, used by customers across the region. That means setting the technical bar and making sure it's met: governing architecture, enforcing code quality across internal and vendor teams, validating designs against what actually ships, and keeping CI/CD and code management practices sharp.

This is a leadership role for someone who stays close to the code reviewing merge requests, spotting technical risk and debt early, and mentoring developers into a culture of quality and accountability. You'll work alongside architects, product owners, and QA to deliver platforms that meet the security and regulatory standards of a major financial institution.

You bring

• Around 10 years building software for financial institutions
• Deep Java/Spring Boot and microservices expertise, with REST, gRPC, and Kafka
• Proven delivery of secure, internet‑facing apps: SSO, OIDC/SAML, MFA, OWASP
• Hands‑on Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD (Git, Jenkins, GitOps/ArgoCD)
• Solid database grounding (Oracle, NoSQL, ElasticSearch)
• Payments or cash management domain experience a plus
• Clear communication and a strong sense of ownership

Please reach out to Nigel Ma at [e-mail] for more information.
