Software & AI Engineer

PT Hikarsa Nova Indonesia (Hikanova) · 2026 - Present

Building AI products for Indonesian businesses, led by Cierra, an AI sales agent that answers buyers on WhatsApp and records orders as drafts for the seller to confirm

  • Go
  • Python
  • gRPC
  • PostgreSQL/pgvector
  • RAG
  • Next.js
  • Docker
  • AWS
  • Develop the product and AI features of Cierra, an MVP on WhatsApp with pilot sign-ups approved manually
  • Designed Cierra as a monorepo: Go backend (REST/SSE and WhatsApp service), Python AI service over gRPC with RAG on pgvector, and a Next.js seller and admin dashboard
  • Built guardrails so the agent negotiates only within seller-set discount limits, hands sensitive cases to a human, and lets the seller take over any chat
  • Contribute across the product line: Closera (AI CRM for B2B sales, limited pilot), BuatPerjanjian (agreement generator, beta), Temankas (personal finance, coming soon), and Skillora (team training, in design)
  • Built and operate hikanova.com and product landing pages on AWS with Docker and Caddy, bilingual (ID/EN) with SEO and llms.txt
