Kee Link Interior Pte. Ltd. – Software Engineer Trainee

About the job

Your primary role will be to develop high quality, maintainable software. You will be using a full stack of technologies to build modern Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) on the front end, and lean, scalable APIs on the back end.

You will be guided and mentored by a software tech lead. So there will be pair programming, code reviews, and many knowledge sharing sessions.

We use an Agile-based software development process. Our Sprint team consists of coders, UX/UI designers, digital marketers, and sometimes even interior designers and renovation project managers. It will still be a lean and small team, but you will have fun working and learning alongside different people.

You can be sure that you will get exposed to all aspects of the business, from marketing to ground operations. If you are someone who likes to see the fruits of your labor in action, this is your chance!
