Kerja Sepenuh Masa, Engineering Lead – Regional Magento Platforms di DFI Retail Group Selangor - Maukerja

We are seeking an experienced, high-caliber Engineering Lead with exceptionally strong analytical skills to oversee and drive end-to-end application development for our Magento-based e-commerce platforms across our Singapore and Malaysia markets.

This role requires a unique combination of deep technical domain expertise in Magento (Adobe Commerce) architecture, marketplace integration, data-driven system analysis, and delivery leadership. Given that both Singapore and Malaysia heavily leverage dominant 3rd-party marketplaces (e.g., Shopee), the ideal candidate must possess the analytical rigor to evaluate, design, and troubleshoot complex, bi-directional data synchronization between Magento and external platforms.

You will own the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) from analytical business requirement consolidation and solution design to implementation, QA/SIT, UAT, and production deployment. Acting as the key technical bridge between regional business stakeholders and engineering teams, you will independently analyze market-specific challenges and translate them into scalable, optimized technical solutions.

Is this your next challenge as a Engineering Lead?

The challenge is to:

End-to-End Application Delivery & Governance

• Full-Cycle SDLC Management: Take end-to-end ownership of application development and release pipelines for Singapore and Malaysia stores, covering requirements gathering, technical scoping, build, SIT, UAT support, and go-live.
• Market Independence & Stakeholder Management: Work directly and independently with SG and MY business, product, and banner leads to analyze commercial challenges and translate complex operational requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Vendor & Engineering Oversight: Oversee internal engineering resources and third-party development partners, critically reviewing technical proposals, code quality, and delivery performance against SLAs.

System Architecture, Analytics & Integration

• Analytical Problem Solving & Performance Tuning: Leverage advanced analytical techniques to diagnose platform bottlenecks, optimize database queries, improve GraphQL API performance, and enhance frontend speed metrics across SG and MY stores.
• Marketplace Integrations: Lead the architectural design and analytical evaluation of integrations with major 3rd-party marketplace platforms (e.g., Shopee), ensuring robust error-handling, logs analysis, and real-time synchronization for inventory, orders, and pricing.
• Headless & GraphQL Expertise: Provide deep technical authority on Magento GraphQL APIs and headless architecture, analyzing data payload efficiency and network latency for native Mobile Applications.
• System Integration Architecture: Analyze, design, and oversee API/middleware integrations connecting Magento with enterprise ecosystems, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Product Information Management (PIM), Order Management Systems (OMS), and Payment Gateways.
• Quality & Root-Cause Analysis: Establish rigorous testing standards for SIT/UAT, conduct thorough root-cause analysis (RCA) on production issues or system anomalies, and implement preventative engineering measures.

Do you have experience in Scaling data team?

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Analytical Capabilities:

• Exceptional analytical and critical-thinking skills, with a proven track record of breaking down complex business logic and technical bottlenecks into actionable, structured engineering tasks.
• Strong ability to analyze complex system logs, API payloads, integration failures, and performance metrics to drive continuous optimization.

Core Technical Experience:

• Minimum 7–10 years of progressive hands-on experience in e-commerce application development and delivery.
• Proven track record of leading end-to-end Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce enterprise implementations.
• 3rd-Party Marketplace Experience: Solid, proven experience integrating and managing store ecosystems connected with major regional 3rd-party platforms (e.g., Shopee, Lazada) via native/middleware connectors.
• Headless & GraphQL Proficiency: Strong technical understanding of how native mobile applications and modern frontends interact with Magento backends via GraphQL APIs.
• Enterprise Integration Capabilities: Demonstrated experience analyzing and integrating Magento with complex enterprise ecosystems (ERP, CRM, PIM, OMS, WMS, and payment gateways).
• Delivery & Governance: Proven ability to manage full-cycle SDLC (Requirements → SIT → UAT → Production) with a disciplined approach to QA standards and test case validation.
• Autonomy & Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills in English; proven experience managing cross-market stakeholders independently in a fast-paced regional environment.

If you have the right skills and experience, this is an opportunity to build your career with Pan Asia’s leading retailer.
