Role: Systems & Software Engineer
Work Arrangement: Hybrid
Location: Philippines - Ortigas/Makati/Pampanga
Schedule: Night Shift

Job Description:

We build and run AI-native software for our own operations and for our clients. We're hiring a Systems Engineer to take on a large share of the systems and security work on a new client foundation engagement, and to contribute to our internal development projects from day one. The role is built to evolve: it starts systems- and security-first while the foundation is secured, and shifts toward development as the work moves into automation. We intend to keep this person across the whole roadmap.

The right person is a strong generalist: ready to work on infrastructure and security today, genuinely productive as an AI-forward developer, and comfortable shifting weight from one to the other as the work moves.

Qualifications and requirements:

What you'll work on first — systems and security

• Identity and access. Consolidate onto one identity platform (Okta, Google Cloud Identity, or Microsoft Entra ID) with global multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and clean provisioning and deprovisioning.

• Backup and recovery. Redesign the backup strategy and prove restores against a defined recovery point and recovery time — by test, not on paper.

• Network security and segmentation. High-availability firewall clustering, redundant core switching, network segmentation, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and retiring shared credentials and legacy virtual private networks (VPNs).

• Logging and audit. Centralized logging and an audit trail across the environment.

• Data protection. Data Loss Prevention (DLP), data classification, and secure external file sharing.

• Workflow platform. Stand up Monday.com and migrate work onto it: the data model, validated fields, enforced taxonomy, time and effort tracking, and a structured intake with revision ticketing. (Hands-on Monday.com migration and implementation experience is required here.)

• Risk. Maintain a live risk register with a named owner on each risk.

What you'll also do from day one — development

• AI-forward. Build on our internal projects with agentic coding workflows, primarily Claude Code: plan first, then work in small steps.

• Solid with Git and GitHub. A branch per change, pull requests, and keeping the build green.

• Comfortable with automated code review. CodeRabbit is our primary code-review tool; you work its review loop and clear our test and security checks before a merge lands.

• Cloud deployment on GCP and AWS. Build, configure, ship, and operate on both Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), with an eye on cost (for example, scaling idle services to zero).

• Security as you write. Input validation, secrets handling, least privilege, current dependencies.

How the role evolves

• Systems- and security-first now, while the foundation is being built. As the roadmap moves into automation and our internal projects grow, the balance shifts to development-first. We're hiring someone to carry across that whole arc, not for a single phase.

Non-negotiable skills and requirements:

1. Systems & Security Engineering

   • Identity & Access Management (IAM)

   • MFA and SSO implementation

   • Network security and segmentation

   • Firewall administration

   • Backup & disaster recovery testing

   • Centralized logging and auditing

2. Cloud Infrastructure

   • Hands-on AWS and/or GCP administration

   • Cloud deployment, configuration, and operations

   • Security and cost optimization in cloud environments

3. Software Development

   • Production-level coding experience

   • Git and GitHub workflows

   • Pull requests, code reviews, testing, and debugging

1. AI-Assisted Development

   • Experience using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor)

   • Comfortable with agentic development workflows

2. Monday.com Implementation

   • Hands-on Monday.com setup, migration, and workflow design

   • Data model configuration and process automation
