Kubernetes client Job create - kubernetes

Question

I am using kubernetes client (https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript) to create job and I have set up service account for the pod which is creating the job. However, I am getting this error when executing the job creation.
body: {
kind: 'Status',
apiVersion: 'v1',
metadata: {},
status: 'Failure',
message: 'Job.batch "compiler-job" is invalid: spec.template.spec.containers: Required value',
reason: 'Invalid',
details: {
name: 'compiler-job',
group: 'batch',
kind: 'Job',
causes: [Array]
},
code: 422
},
I am sure there is something wrong with the body options that i am passing to k8sBatchV1Api.createNamespacedJob() but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is the snippet of the manifest.
const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromCluster();
const k8sBatchV1Api = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.BatchV1Api);
k8sBatchV1Api.createNamespacedJob('default', {
apiVersion: 'batch/v1',
kind: 'Job',
metadata: {
name: 'compiler-job'
},
spec: {
template: {
metadata: {
name: 'compiler-job'
},
spec: {
containers: {
image: 'perl',
name: 'compiler-job',
command: ["perl", "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
},
restartPolicy: "OnFailure"
}
}
}
}).catch((e: any) => console.log(e));
Here is the serviceaccount.yaml file
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: create-job
namespace: default
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:

name: create-job-role

Been spending almost a week and have no clue.

I think that might be because containers should be a list, can you try this?
const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromCluster();
const k8sBatchV1Api = kc.makeApiClient(k8s.BatchV1Api);
k8sBatchV1Api.createNamespacedJob('default', {
apiVersion: 'batch/v1',
kind: 'Job',
metadata: {
name: 'compiler-job'
},
spec: {
template: {
metadata: {
name: 'compiler-job'
},
spec: {
containers: [{
image: 'perl',
name: 'compiler-job',
command: ["perl", "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
}],
restartPolicy: "OnFailure"
}
}
}
}).catch((e: any) => console.log(e));
