Businesses that partner with Omise come in all shapes, sizes, and market caps, and no one payment solution works for all. Our technology fuels companies like Allianz Ayudhya, McDonald’s (Thailand), True Corporation, BMW (Thailand), and Pomelo.
We are in the business of building financial products and solutions which enable brands across the region to make new kinds of interactions with their customers possible. Omise is a technology enabler. Our mission is to power digital commerce in Asia.
Omise is a value-driven organization, focused on selecting and retaining the sharpest minds across all functions. This is where you might see yourself grow!
Why we need you
Do you consider yourself an “A-player” engineer? Have you found yourself the person people reach out to at the companies you’ve worked for? Are you switched on by performance? Scalability? Architecture? Express yourself through the code you write? Is company culture as important to you as the technology?
Well... you may well be who we are looking for! Omise is currently experiencing a period of growth and we need a number of people to help fulfil our technical needs; as well as helping to shape and advance our culture.
What you’ll be doing
Culture is fundamental to our current and future successes. We strongly believe in enabling our engineers to make technical designs and decisions. Who best to recommend what a given platform needs than its creators? Similarly: creating business value according to prioritization given by the business without sacrificing technical quality and vision is something we’d want you believing in.
Another part of our philosophy is “right tool for the right job”. And that is precisely why we won’t be demanding a particular language or skill set in this job spec! What you end up using will largely depend on the project, its KPIs and your own recommendation!
You
We believe in 2021 the technology space is so varied and changes even more rapidly than before it simply doesn't make sense to demand skills in only a specific language. The reality is at Omise we work in numerous technologies and our engineers' skills grow as the platform does. And who knows what the future holds? As technology develops so do the skills of our team.
As such rather than demanding a given technology we are happy to speak to those candidates that demonstrate fluency in more than one object-orientated language - and those candidates will be very comfortable with the 2021 engineer responsibility to learn-as-you-go.
You’ll be able to give us examples of when you have tested a hypothesis and the data collected changed your original idea. You’ll almost certainly have stories of applications that suffered performance problems and what you did to improve it - and learned best practices as a result. Perhaps you can describe a time you ran into scalability issues and what you did to solve them. How that changed your opinion as an engineer moving forward. Top candidates will be able to describe various self-healing architectures / design decisions they’ve implemented in the past.
Candidates with great experience in working in cross-functional highly collaborative Scrum teams are of definite interest. Particularly those candidates that not only know the various ceremonies but truly understand their value in having the team thinking or behaving in a certain way. Top candidates will understand what we mean by a "top-down" mentality. Can you think of a time you changed your plan because you began to think like a customer / user rather than as a developer?
The comprehensive ability of technical specification and business correspondence in Japanese is a must; whereas, proficient level of English communication is also required for your counterparts outside of Japan. And the experience with Japanese financial/credit card systems (such as CAFIS/CDS/JCN/J-Trans/CtV etc.) is a definite plus
If this sounds like fun to you and you fit the bill, you’d be most welcome! We are on the verge of doing something big - we want your help and expertise to get there in the best way possible. There’s much to do, much to create (and some to fix!). Get in touch!
