Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Wahed Full time

About Wahed:

The global financial system wasn't built for everyone. For millions of people, its reliance on interest (riba) creates a barrier to managing money and building wealth without compromising their values.

At Wahed, we're changing that. We are a global fintech company on a mission to build a new financial system—one that is ethical, accessible, and entirely interest-free. From our offices across the globe, our team is building products that were once deemed impossible, from pioneering Shariah-compliant equity ETFs, creating true riba-free alternatives to high yield savings accounts, to creating no-leverage real estate investments for truly interest-free income producing assets. If you're driven to solve complex problems and believe finance should empower, not exclude, join us in building a more equitable financial future.

Job Brief:

We are looking for Backend Engineers to join our Engineering team. As a team member, you will play a role in building, maintaining, designing, and implementing new microservices and improving our existing Golang services. Along with product development and improving the infrastructure, engineers are given the opportunity to innovate, experiment and try out new technologies.

Building product and innovative features is a highly collaborative effort, and as such, a strong team player with a commitment to perfection is required. We are looking for candidates that are self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies, work well both within a team and on their own, and have an attention to detail.

Job Description:
  • Work closely with product managers and engineers to build backend solutions
  • Swiftly tackle defects and solve them for good, reducing tech debt along the way
  • Proactively make improvements to the backend architecture in terms of robustness, security and performance
  • Leverage APIs for integrations with other platforms
  • Contribute to automated testing efforts and increasing test coverage
Job Specification:
  • At least 2 years commercial experience in backend software development
  • Server side coding experience preferably in Golang and writing maintainable, testable code with unit tests
  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases preferably ElasticSearch and Cassandra
  • Comfortable working in a Linux environment
  • Experience working with AWS features and tools
  • Product minded: committed to building the best user experience with experience working closely with product managers and other engineers
  • Understand the trade-offs in employing different engineering solutions to a problem, valuing pragmatism over idealism
  • Eager and open to learning

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
