About the Position
Senior AI Applied Software Engineer
Join our Product & Platform Department team in Ho Chi Minh.
As a Senior Applied AI Software Engineer, you design and deliver complex AI-enabled product capabilities with minimal guidance. This role transitions away from siloed frontend/backend titles toward a T-shaped, full-stack profile spanning UI, APIs, services, and data pipelines. You serve as a technical authority who mentors peers and raises the bar on AI-native engineering practices.
Responsibilities
- AI-Native Engineering: Lead the adoption of agentic tooling, LLM workflows, and AI automation within your team to accelerate the development lifecycle.
- End-to-End Ownership: Deliver major product features and subsystems across the full stack, ensuring they are production-ready and secure.
- Technical Authority: Act as the go-to resource for peers, reviewing designs and code critically while clarifying technical feasibility.
- Strategic Problem Solving: Lead the resolution of complex cross-system issues and plan major refactoring initiatives.
- Quality Excellence: Balance delivery speed with long-term maintainability, championing performance and accessibility standards.
Requirements
- At least 6+ years in software development including design.
- Excellent communication skills in English, spoken and written.
- Solid understanding of:
- Java
- Microservices
- SpringBoot
- Maven
- CI and CD
- Relational databases and Spring JPA / Hibernate
- Enterprise Integration Patterns
- Experience with:
- Banking domain or Fintech products (advantage)
- Microservices (Netflix OSS is a plus)
- Cloud and Apache Tomcat
- Non-functionals such as security, performance, scalability, etc.
We Offer
- Real ownership: From day one, you set the pace, make the decisions, and see your work land where it matters. You drive the outcomes, you celebrate the wins.
- The work is the standard: We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks.
- Ambition without ego: You'll work with people who've shipped things most thought couldn't be done. Direct, down-to-earth, no egos. The kind of team where the best idea wins and everyone's genuinely glad when it does.
- Real AI, running in real banks: We're not waiting for AI to be ready. It already is - running inside banks, serving customers, solving problems that matter, out in the real world today.
- Grow while you build: Annual learning budget, global exposure, and work that moves you forward. Your growth and our mission go hand in hand.
- 17 offices. One mission.: Hybrid model, no micromanagement, offices across the world. The mission is clear. Where you do your best work is up to you.
- Wellness that goes the distance: Real support built for the long game. We invest in the people who build the product, not just the product.
