The posting

About the Role

The CTO will own technology for doit Holdings, our regulated investment platform in Malaysia. This is a build role. The platform does not exist yet, and it has to be built inside a technology risk framework that satisfies the Securities Commission's Guidelines on Technology Risk Management from the first line of code. The role runs from architecture and engineering execution through to the systems evidence the SC assesses at registration.

What you will be doing

  • Own architecture and major technical decisions for the platform, from onboarding and order routing through records, reporting and the partner interfaces.
  • Build and lead the engineering team, and set standards across reliability, security, performance, testing and code quality.
  • Implement the SC's technology risk requirements as engineering practice: change control and approvals, secure development, testing and acceptance, capacity and resilience.
  • Produce the systems evidence behind the readiness declaration a director and the Responsible Person must sign before the platform may operate.
  • Take the platform through the independent technology validation that gates registration, and close what it finds.
  • Own business continuity and disaster recovery, tested rather than documented.
  • Own cloud, vendor and outsourcing arrangements, where the board remains accountable for everything outsourced.

Location

This is a hybrid role. You are expected to work from our local office at least 3 days per week, with the remaining days offering flexibility to work remotely.

Candidates should be based in, or able to work from, the location where the role is advertised.

Language

English is our main working language across global teams. Strong English communication is required.

Interview Process

Our process is designed to move fast:

1. Online assessment or practical task

2. Technical interview

3. CEO / final round

For strong candidates, we aim to complete the process and make an offer within 1 week from the start of the interview process. Candidates who complete assessments quickly will be prioritized.

Requirements

  • Deep software engineering background with experience building and scaling production systems.
  • Strong knowledge of backend systems, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure and distributed systems.
  • Experience making architecture decisions across multiple products or engineering teams.
  • Strong technical judgement and ability to challenge engineering decisions at implementation level.
  • Capable of building world-class engineering teams.
  • Still technically hands-on - able to review code, architecture, incidents and difficult engineering problems directly.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
