Engineering for Impact
Our engineering culture is not just about building skills - it is about creating the infrastructure that emerging economies need. Every hackathon, experiment, and internal initiative is designed to push our products and capabilities forward.
Our Approach
Every engineering initiative at Majin is connected to our mission of building digital infrastructure for emerging economies. We do not experiment for experimentation's sake - we build toward real impact.
Hackathons let us rapidly test new product ideas and technical approaches that could expand our infrastructure ecosystem.
CatatDuit (personal finance) emerged from our 2025 hackathon
Internal experiments focus on improving scalability, reliability, and offline capabilities critical for emerging market deployment.
Offline-sync patterns now used across Stor and SiMahir
Competitions and learning initiatives develop expertise in payment systems, logistics, and local market integrations.

From Experiment to Production
Our hackathon projects are not one-off experiments. They are deliberate explorations that inform our product roadmap and strengthen our infrastructure capabilities.

Building Relevant Expertise
Our engineering initiatives deliberately develop capabilities that directly support infrastructure needs in emerging markets.
Building systems that work reliably in low-connectivity environments across rural Indonesia.
Enables Stor and SiMahir to serve businesses in areas with unstable internet.
Integrating diverse payment methods from bank transfers to e-wallets to cash-on-delivery.
Critical for building inclusive payment rails that serve the unbanked.
Designing platforms that efficiently serve thousands of SMEs with isolated data and customization.
Foundation for Stor and Gokira to scale across diverse business types.
Creating flexible systems that adapt to varied business processes without custom development.
Allows our products to fit local business practices rather than forcing standardization.
Latest Internal Initiative
Our latest hackathon challenged teams to build solutions that address real needs in Indonesian households and small businesses.
Each project addressed specific challenges in emerging market contexts
