About The Team

The Citizen Developers Infrastructure team sits within the Infrastructure & Productivity organization and is responsible for the internal platform that powers critical business processes at Airwallex.

We build and operate a citizendeveloper platform that lets nonproduct engineering groups safely build and run workflows and automations. Our goal is to make it easy and safe for these citizen developers to ship value quickly while embedding security compliance and software engineering best practices by default.

This role is based in Singapore.

What Youll Do

As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer on the Citizen Developers Infrastructure team you will design build and operate the platform services that underpin Airwallexs citizendeveloper ecosystem and internal workflow automation.

You will partner closely with application teams and citizen developers to define tooling patterns and development processes while continuously improving the platform abstractions and paved paths they build on. Youll be responsible both for the developer experience and guardrails of the platform and for the underlying workflow infrastructure that makes it reliable and scalable.

Responsibilities

• Design build and evolve the citizendeveloper platform and tools that make it easy to create and operate automation / applications without deep infrastructure knowledge.

• Establish secure SDLC and guardrails for citizendeveloperbuilt applications so compliance and security are baked in by default.

• Build selfserve development and operations tooling that reduce dependence on central platform engineers.

• Design build and maintain the Temporalbased workflow infrastructure addressing challenges such as multitenancy high availability and cost effectiveness.

• Contribute to the Kubernetes and GitOps foundation (ArgoCD Helm Terraform) that powers the platform ensuring deployments are safe repeatable and auditable.

• Participate in code reviews technical design discussions and oncall rotation for workflowrelated services leading incident response and driving longterm fixes where needed.

• Document standards best practices and reference architectures so teams building on top of the platform have clear selfserve guidance.

Who You Are

You are a backend/platform engineer who enjoys building shared platforms cares deeply about developer experience correctness and operability and is comfortable working at the intersection of application code and infrastructure.

You get energy from enabling other teams to move faster safely through welldesigned abstractions tooling and guardrails.

Qualifications

• 6 years of experience in Software / Platform Engineering roles building and operating backend or platform services in production.

• Strong handson experience with at least one strongly typed backend language (e.g. Golang Java) and familiarity with Python or Bash for tooling/automation.

• Experience designing and building internal platforms or developer tooling used by multiple teams with a strong focus on developer experience.

• Experience with Kubernetes and GitOps practices/tooling (ideally ArgoCD and Terraform).

• Experience building platforms or tooling for nonproduct engineering users (e.g. operations finance analysts) or lowcode/nocode / citizendeveloper environments is a strong plus.

• Proven experience with Temporal or similar workflow/orchestration systems (e.g. Cadence Step Functions Airflow) or largescale stateful workloads (e.g. Redis clusters Cassandra HBase) in production is a huge plus.

• Comfortable working in highly collaborative multiteam environments able to translate platform constraints into clear APIs contracts and paved paths for application teams and citizen developers.

• Practical proactive problem solver who can navigate ambiguity break down complex technical problems and drive them to closure.
