Software Engineer (Phnom Penh)

About the role

Pints AI, an award-winning AI company based in Singapore, is hiring a software engineer to join its team in Phnom Penh. You will build production AI systems for large organisations in regulated industries such as insurance and banking. As a startup, the work is iterative and autonomous: you will understand the problem, turn it into a specification, and build it yourself.

Key responsibilities

• Build and ship production features across the AI platform and client applications in TypeScript and Python
• Turn client business requirements into clear, detailed, testable functional specifications
• Take part in client workshops, follow up on open questions and document what was agreed
• Work with document processing, retrieval, LLM orchestration and AI agent workflows
• Deploy and support systems running on-premise inside client environments
• Work alongside the engineering and research teams in Singapore

Required profile

• 2 to 4 years of professional experience; shorter experience is considered if the rest of the profile fits
• Experience producing work others have relied on, and the habit of clarifying requirements before building
• Ability to ask what a requirement means before implementing it
• Professional English and native Khmer; client workshops may be held in Khmer

Required skills

• Production TypeScript, or strong fundamentals in another typed language
• React, Node/Express, REST APIs, Git, Docker and Linux at a working level
• Production experience in more than one language or framework, with the ability to explain how your approach changed

Nice to have: self-driven projects, freelance or solo-client work, competitive programming or open source, Python, LLM or AI agent systems, and experience in insurance, banking or government systems.
