Amir Jiwani is a seasoned engineering leader and hands-on software craftsman with 13 years of experience building cloud-native platforms, cross-platform products and developer-friendly tools. Currently on secondment as an Engineering Manager at SEEK, he blends technical ownership—Node.js, React, Docker, Kubernetes, Electron—with people-first leadership to drive platform strategy, OKRs, hiring and career growth. He has repeatedly led platform migrations, greenfield rewrites and architectural overhauls, and is comfortable getting “hands dirty” to unblock teams while coaching junior engineers. Amir is also passionate about demystifying complex technical topics for non-technical stakeholders, helping teams form clear opinions and communicate what “good” looks like. Based in Kuala Lumpur with a background spanning startups to large enterprises, he pairs product-minded problem solving with a sustained focus on team health and operational excellence.
