Singapore, Singapore Full Time Negotiable 5 days ago

About the Job

We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Required Skills & Abilities

5+ years of software engineering experience with ReactJS and TypeScript.
Strong judgment in choosing the right level of abstraction, balancing flexibility and simplicity in system and component design.
Clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Pragmatic decision-making on when to optimise for performance versus velocity based on business impact.
Experience thriving in cross-functional environments spanning Product, Design, Compliance, and Sales.
A track record of designing for scale, maintainability, and production excellence.
Experience in fintech, payments, or another regulated industry.
Experience tuning performance at high scale, including 100k+ QPS, large user bases, or strict latency SLAs.
A background in multi-tenant SaaS or platform architecture.
Proficiency with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Experience with OAuth 2.0, API design, or developer documentation.
Experience with cross-region deployment or data residency compliance.
Solutions engineering or customer-facing technical experience.
You've worked in a high-growth or scaling environment and know what it takes to build systems that need to grow with the business.
You're comfortable with ambiguity. Give you a problem, not a prescription, and you'll run with it.
You communicate clearly and directly across cultures, and you're thoughtful about how context shifts meaning across borders.
You know when to align and when to just decide. Collaboration isn't a way to avoid accountability.
You simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.
The Scale team builds the infrastructure that lets platforms embed Airwallex financial products at speed and with confidence. The team owns multi-tenant systems powering companies like Brex, Rippling, Navan, Qantas, and SHEIN. The engineering challenges are real: balancing tenant isolation with resource efficiency, low-latency performance with cross-data-center resilience, and immediate customer needs with long-term architectural extensibility. Beyond infrastructure, the team owns cross-domain product features and designs enterprise integrations by translating customer business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
