Who You Are & Role Overview

The Platform Engineering team is architecting Airwallex’s next-generation foundational infrastructure. We are moving beyond standard pipelines to build a high-performance, distributed ecosystem that powers real-time AI enablement and global financial data.

We aim to push the boundaries of distributed storage, stream processing, and service-layer interfaces. We are looking for "Engineers’ Engineers"—builders who enjoy diving into the internals of distributed systems, optimizing JVM performance, and implementing robust architectural patterns like Lakehouse and real-time data.

In this role, you will:

• Architect & Build: Lead technical decision-making and custom development for core infrastructure components, extending from foundational storage to high-availability service layers.

• Systems Optimization: Deep-dive into performance tuning and systems internals—such as state management, checkpointing, and exactly-once semantics—to ensure millisecond-level accuracy at global scale.

• AI Infrastructure: Develop and integrate the "Knowledge Platform," enabling AI-driven products through scalable vector indexing, agentic workflows, and real-time data streaming.

• Distributed Systems at Scale: Own the full SDLC for high-performance distributed systems (batch and streaming) that process petabytes of data across 30+ global regions.

• Engineering Rigor: Advocate for elite software engineering practices, contributing to shared tooling, SDKs, and automation frameworks that enhance the productivity of engineering teams company-wide.

• Mentorship: Act as a technical beacon and mentor for mid-level engineers, driving project delivery through design reviews and technical leadership.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Experience: Have 5+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems or infrastructure platforms.

• First Principles Thinking: Possess a deep understanding of computer science fundamentals, including distributed systems, memory management, and networking protocols.

• The "Builder" Stack: Are proficient in Java, Kotlin, or Go. You should have hands-on experience (or the desire to deep-dive) into the internals of Kafka, Flink, Spark, Kubernetes, or OLAP engines.

• Ownership Mindset: Have a proven track record of taking 0-1 ownership of complex technical challenges, from initial design to production stability.

• Curiosity & Impact: Are intrinsically motivated to explore emerging tech in AI/ML infrastructure and real-time systems to create tangible business impact.
