Senior Software Engineer – Python & AI Platform Integration

Department: Engineering

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Hybrid

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Software Engineer to own key components of our solutions ecosystem: the data connectors that integrate enterprise systems, third-party platforms, and applications to deliver value to our clients. You will play a key role in building reliable, scalable integrations that connect people, data, and applications. The Senior Software Engineer – Python & AI Platform Integration position is offered through Stronium, a close technology partner of Squirro’s.

This position is open only to candidates who are currently residing in Malaysia and can work on-site at Stronium's office.

What You’ll Do

• Build data connectors: Design and ship robust connectors that ingest content from enterprise sources — cloud storage, CRMs, ticketing systems, document stores, databases, and web/APIs.
• Integrate connector ecosystems: Integrate with third-party data-connector and ingestion platforms, normalizing and mapping diverse, messy schemas into data model.
• Deliver insights where users work: Build application-consumption integrations that surface business insights directly inside Microsoft Teams, Slack, and similar collaboration and productivity platforms.
• Make integration effortless: Create reusable frameworks, SDKs, and configuration patterns so new connectors and integrations can be built quickly and maintained reliably.
• Own reliability: Handle authentication (OAuth, SSO), rate limiting, incremental sync, error handling, and observability across many external systems.
• Collaborate & keep it simple: Partner with product and engineering to turn integration requirements into clean, maintainable solutions that work at scale.

What You Bring

• Strong experience building and scaling backend systems in Python — ideally integration- or data-ingestion-heavy.
• Hands-on experience with REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, OAuth/SSO, and integrating third-party platforms (e.g. Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, SharePoint).
• Familiarity with data pipelines, ETL/ELT, message queues, and handling high-volume, messy data reliably.
• Solid grasp of distributed systems fundamentals.
• Bonus: experience building bots or apps on collaboration platforms (Teams apps, Slack apps) or contributing to connector frameworks.
• A pragmatic mindset and comfort in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where ideas quickly turn into production.

Why Join Us

• Impact: Your work won’t disappear into a pipeline — you’ll see it used daily by some of the world’s leading organizations.
• Growth: Work on cutting-edge problems in AI, search, and knowledge engineering, alongside experienced engineers who value curiosity and learning.
• Culture: Agile and startup-like, with quick decision-making and plenty of room to contribute ideas.
• Balance: We believe in continuous feedback, lifelong learning, and supporting personal growth.

Benefits

• Hybrid Work Arrangement – Enjoy the flexibility of working from home up to two days per week.
• EPF & SOCSO – Full statutory contributions provided in compliance with Malaysian regulations.
• Team Events & Engagement Activities – Participate in regular team-building sessions and company events designed to strengthen collaboration and connection.
