Fave, the popular smart payments platform, has just launched its Tech Hub in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and it’s poised to take the fintech landscape in Southeast Asia by storm! The company’s goal is to groom top-notch engineering talents and drive digital innovation in the region.

Fave’s Tech Hub, in collaboration with iTrain Malaysia and universities, plans to onboard up to 100 engineers in 2022. The program will offer training, certification, mentoring and coaching, product development projects, as well as workshops, with placement opportunities across Fave and Pine Labs companies.

The Tech Hub’s inaugural program will mainly focus on fresh graduates, making them industry-ready. However, Fave isn’t stopping there! The program also targets individuals who are career shifters or self-learners with a keen interest in software engineering, learning through platforms such as Youtube, Coursera, Udemy, Stack Overflow, and LinkedIn.

As a recurring program, Fave’s Tech Hub will be the foundational first step in the company’s commitment to continuous growth of the engineering talent pipeline in Southeast Asia.

Arzumy MD, Chief Technology Officer of Fave, believes that investing in talent is essential to the booming fintech ecosystem in the region. He says, “With the launch of Fave’s Tech Hub and our versatile training approach, we are confident in shaping the next generation of experts to revolutionize SEA’s fintech landscape. We only see this as the first step in fostering world-class product engineering—a booming career path in Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.”

Fave’s roadmap to building world-class fintech engineering talents in Southeast Asia is anchored by three pillars:

• Ecosystem Building: Partnering with top educational institutions in Malaysia to identify and upskill talent through adjunct lectures, development workshops, career guidance, and mentoring workshops.
• Readiness Training: Occupational training and skills development will be achieved through a strong partnership with iTrain, who will helm the rigorous six-week technical and soft-skill modules.
• The ‘Good to Great’ Initiative: A post-training program segment where upskilled participants are assigned responsibility to empower and grow other engineers, as well as non-technical team members and manage full project streams.

So if you’re looking to take your coding skills to the next level and become a fintech superstar, don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the Tech Hub’s first intake. And who knows, maybe you’ll even be assigned to empower and grow other engineers and manage full project streams through the ‘Good to Great’ initiative!
