About BukuWarung

BukuWarung is building the financial and digital nervous system for millions of underserved merchants. Payments, credit, software, commerce, money management - all converging into one integrated platform.

We are not building features. We are building infrastructure that small businesses depend on to survive.

If you have ever wanted to design systems that matter at scale (not ad-tech dashboards, not incremental UI improvements) but real, high-volume, reliability-sensitive, multi-country platforms, this is that chance.

The Mission

We are entering a critical phase of growth. Velocity is improving. AI is accelerating development. But before acceleration, we need architectural depth.

We are looking for a Staff Engineer who cares deeply about:
Designing systems that scale 10x and 100x
Failure domains and blast radius reduction
High availability and reliability engineering
Clean abstractions and long-term maintainability
Architecture that enables speed, not blocks it

What You Will Do
Lead architecture,



design for high-scale systems across payments, EDC, credit, and merchant platforms
Design for multi-region expansion and high transaction volumes
Establish and elevate system design review standards
Drive platform thinking across squads
Identify scaling bottlenecks before they hurt
Reduce operational burden through thoughtful abstractions
Mentor engineers and grow them
You will work directly with engineering leadership and influence product decisions where system design matters.

What We’re Looking For
8+ years building and scaling backend distributed systems
Deep understanding of system design fundamentals (consistency models, caching strategies, event-driven architecture, fault tolerance, data modeling at scale)
Experience with microservices and/or modular monolith architectures
Hands-on expertise with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
Robust intuition for performance tuning and observability
Comfort ope
