Software Engineer

About the Job

Bukalapak Gaming is hiring a Software Engineer II to join our engineering team and help us build fast, reliable, and resilient products for millions of users across Lapakgaming and Itemku.

At Bukalapak, Software Engineers are expected to work with a fullstack mindset. While each engineer may develop deeper strengths in areas such as frontend, backend, infrastructure, or quality, we value people who can understand how systems work end-to-end and contribute beyond a single technical domain.

As a Software Engineer II, you will take on greater ownership in building product features and engineering systems, working closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to solve meaningful problems in a production environment.

About Bukalapak Gaming

Lapakgaming and Itemku (Bukalapak Gaming), part of the Bukalapak ecosystem, operate in the gaming industry and provide digital products and services for gamers at scale. We build fast-moving products that serve real customer needs, supported by systems that must remain reliable, secure, and maintainable as the business grows. This positioning is consistent with the current Bukalapak Gaming hiring narrative for senior engineers.

Our engineering teams are lean, collaborative, and hands-on. We care about moving quickly, while maintaining high standards for quality, sound engineering judgment, and continuous learning.

About the Role

• As a Software Engineer II, you will independently contribute to the development of customer-facing products and internal systems, with growing ownership over the quality, reliability, and maintainability of what you build. You will be expected to make sound technical decisions within your scope, collaborate effectively across functions, and develop a broader understanding of how your work impacts the overall system.
• This role is ideal for someone who has strong software engineering fundamentals, can deliver with moderate autonomy, and is ready to take on broader responsibility across product and technical problem-solving.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and improve product features and engineering systems with increasing ownership and autonomy
• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code that follows team standards and engineering best practices
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver solutions that meet user and business needs
• Own implementation of features or technical improvements from development through release and post-release monitoring
• Contribute to code reviews and provide constructive feedback to help improve team quality
• Debug issues across development and production environments, and contribute to long-term fixes rather than temporary workarounds
• Improve system quality through testing, validation, observability, and performance awareness
• Develop a stronger understanding of how systems behave across the stack, including frontend, backend, infrastructure, and quality considerations
• Use logs, metrics, and other operational signals to investigate issues and support better engineering decisions
• Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted tools, responsibly and with proper validation

Requirements

• 3–5 years of software engineering experience in a production environment
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including system design basics, clean coding practices, and debugging
• Experience building and maintaining web applications, APIs, or backend services in production
• Solid understanding of databases, version control, testing, and software delivery practices
• Ability to work independently on moderately complex problems with good judgment and attention to quality
• Willingness to learn across multiple areas of engineering rather than staying limited to a single specialization
• Strong curiosity about how systems behave end-to-end and how technical decisions affect users and the business
• Good problem-solving skills, communication, and collaboration abilities
• Ownership mindset and a strong sense of responsibility for the work you ship
