Contract Developer — Internal Tools (AI-Assisted Build)

About usWe're a 40-year-old Malaysian B2B foodservice packaging group (Helipro, Vivopac, Metropoly) — distribution, manufacturing, and a growing portfolio of internal digital products. We're not a tech company, but we're building like one: shipping internal tools that make our sales, warehouse, and operations teams faster.

• Frontend: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind
• Backend / DB: PostgreSQL (Neon), Supabase Auth
• Storage: MinIO (object storage), Sanity (CMS)
• AI pair-coding: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code + Continue (DeepSeek)
• Workflow: GitHub, Vercel

• Comfortable pair-coding with Claude Code or Cursor — you treat AI as a teammate, not a magic box. You read the code it writes, you push back on it, you debug it.
• Working knowledge of Next.js + TypeScript — enough to build pages, API routes, and components without getting stuck on syntax.
• Comfortable with PostgreSQL / SQL — can write joins, design a basic schema, read an EXPLAIN plan.
• Fluent with Git / GitHub — branches, PRs, merge conflicts don't scare you.

• Project-based contract, scoped per deliverable
• Cheras, KL — preference for on-site presence at least part of the week so you can sit with the users you're building for
• Compensation negotiated based on scope and your track record

How to applySend us:

1. One thing you've built (link, repo, screenshots, video walkthrough — whatever shows it works)
2. A short note on how you approach building internal tools, and what questions you'd ask before writing the first line of code
3. Your expected salary

• You ship. A messy v1 in your hands beats a perfect v3 that never lands.
• You ask the right questions before writing code — especially "what is this actually for?"
• You catch the AI when it's wrong. Vibe coding only works if a human is steering. We need someone who reviews AI output critically, not someone who copy-pastes and hopes.
• You're curious about the business. The best builds come from understanding why a warehouse supervisor or a sales rep needs the tool, not just what the ticket says.

• Past projects you can show us — side projects, school work, freelance, anything real
• Experience with pgvector, RAG pipelines, or embeddings
• Exposure to MinIO, S3-compatible storage, or any object storage
• Bahasa Malaysia or Mandarin (our internal users are multilingual)

LevelWe're open on experience. Fresh grad or 3 years in — doesn't matter. Show us you can build, show us you can think, and we'll talk.
