Chief Technology Officer

Bjak is looking for a Chief Technology Officer to create and run the technology for a new regulated investment platform in Malaysia. The role covers the full build, from system design and engineering delivery through to the technical evidence needed for regulatory registration. Day to day, the CTO will make key architecture decisions, guide the engineering team, and put in place controls for reliability, security, testing, performance and code quality. The job also includes building technology risk processes into the development work, managing business continuity and disaster recovery, and handling cloud, vendor and outsourcing arrangements. The advert asks for a strong background in software engineering, with experience in production systems and knowledge of backend systems, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure and distributed systems. It also seeks someone who has made architecture decisions across more than one product or engineering team and who can judge technical choices at implementation level. The role requires someone who can stay hands-on and deal directly with code reviews, incidents and complex engineering issues. No language requirement is stated. The position is listed as remote, and it suits a senior technical leader who can build a team while remaining close to the technology itself.
