Fave, that payment platform, has launched a Tech Hub in Kuala Lumpur. It is a part of its effort “to groom top-class engineering talents and drive digital innovation in Southeast Asia”.
The Tech Hub aims to onboard 100 engineers in 2022 with the help of training partners like iTrain and universities.
It will provide participants with training, professional certification, mentoring and coaching, product development projects, as well workshops, and eventually placement offerings across Fave and Pine Labs companies.
The programme will mainly focus on fresh graduates. It will also be made available for individuals who have a strong interest in Software Engineering.
It is beyond essential to invest in growing talent that is the backbone of the booming fintech ecosystem in the region. We are proud to be taking a leading role in building a pipeline of talent that will benefit the entire ecosystem and digital innovation in the region.
With the launch of Fave’s Tech Hub and our versatile training approach, we are confident in shaping the next generation of experts to revolutionise 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.
