give you a glimpse into our tech world, while at the same time also help you to understand what to

BukuWarung is building the digital infrastructure for 60 million+ Indonesian MSMEs. We are the
fastest
growing start-up in SEA; within 2 years of launch, BukuWarung has served over 6.5 million

shown a healthy adoption rate. With this conviction, we want to expand our digital offerings to more
accounting and financial products, and to achieve this vision, we are looking for people who can, or
aspire to, shepherd features from ideas through to real-world usage.
How do we work?
We are a remote-first engineering team. So, you are free to choose where you want to work from. ️
This will remain until pandemic gets in control and people can again resume office full time. We do have
offices in Jakarta and Singapore and will be soon opening a shared office space in India (Bangalore and
Delhi).
The engineering team is comprised of different squads aligned to different lines of business namely:
Accounting, Payments and Commerce. The squads are led by technical leads who also drive the work
planning for the team.
As a team we have a daily sit-downs (since we are remote no need for standups anymore) , and weekly
planning/review meetings. All teams also plan their weekly chill times in which is a strictly no

successes, and challenges.
