Technology Innovation Engineer (Back-end)

Responsibilities

• Explore new backend technologies, frameworks, databases, tools, vendors, and open-source solutions. 
• Build backend prototype, PoC, sandbox, demo environment, or technical simulation when required. 
• Conduct technical benchmarking and compare backend technology options based on performance, scalability, maintainability, security, cost, and operational complexity. 
• Assess integration approach, technical dependencies, deployment model, observability, and delivery risks. 
• Prepare technical feasibility report, benchmark result, prototype documentation, and technical recommendation. 
• Work with Solution Architect and Associate Solution Architect to validate whether explored technologies are aligned with the target architecture. 
• Work with Product Engineering to validate implementation complexity and backend development approach. 
• Work with DevOps/Infrasec to validate deployment readiness, monitoring, security, and operational maintainability. 
• Support internal technical sessions when prototype, benchmark result, or technology clarification is required. 

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, Informatics Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, or related technical field. 
• Minimum 2–3 years of experience in backend engineering, software development, platform engineering, system integration, or technical prototyping. 
• Experience in backend service development using Java, Go, Python, Node.js, or similar programming languages. 
• Experience with API development, databases, middleware, message broker, caching, container technology, or backend platform components. 
• Experience in prototype development, PoC, technical feasibility validation, benchmarking, lab testing, or technology exploration is preferred. 
• Strong hands-on capability in backend application development. 
• Good understanding of API design, service integration, database usage, authentication, authorization, logging, and error handling. 
• Familiar with backend technologies such as relational database, NoSQL database, cache, message broker, API gateway, container, or microservices. 
• Ability to build prototype, sandbox, demo, or PoC environment. 
• Ability to analyze technical feasibility, limitation, performance, scalability, maintainability, and integration complexity. 
• Good troubleshooting and technical documentation skills. 
• Able to translate technical findings into understandable input for Solution Architect, Associate Solution Architect, Product Engineering, and management decision. 
• Strong learning attitude and ability to explore new backend tools, frameworks, or technologies independently. 

Nice-toHave (Plus)

• Familiar with cloud environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). 
• Exposure to enterprise integration environments, middleware platforms, or large-scale enterprise systems. 
• Possession of relevant certifications related to backend engineering, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, or software architecture is considered an advantage.
