(What you will be working on)
The GovTech Anti Scam Products Team’s mission is to build tech solutions to detect, disrupt and deter scammers at scale. The work spans data infrastructure, developing and deploying AI & ML to scale proactive detection, API connections to partners, as well as front-end systems for enforcement agencies.
What it is like working here:
Your job will be to bring your experience, technical expertise, and capability in solving abstract problems to tackling scams using tech.
Sometimes this means coding new systems from scratch. Other times this means using the best solutions the development community has to offer. We use cloud services, open source software, and commodity hardware as much as possible. These often include, but are not limited to: GitHub, AWS, React Native, and MongoDB, amongst others. Knowing what to build and what to reuse lets us avoid wasting time on solved problems and focus on delivering actual value.
As software engineer, you will
Build prototypes to demonstrate technological opportunities
Design system architectures
Write production quality code
Manage deployments to cloud infrastructure
Maintain systems to a high level of reliability
More senior software engineers will also be expected to:
Establish best practices for developer operations
Provide technical leadership across multiple product teams
Share your expertise and mentor other engineers
Help with recruiting
(What we are looking for)
Must have
Python, JavaScript and/or TypeScript
Experience working with CI/CD setups
Strong knowledge of AWS Cloud
Strong knowledge of algorithms and database structures
Preferred
Experience in running containers or serverless services
Experience building high scale, low latency APIs & deploying scaled AI / ML solutions
Experience with data intensive frameworks & data warehousing solutions (e.g. Glue,Spark, Presto), bonus if you’re familiar with graph data structures
Understanding of event driven architectures involving SQS/ Kafka, bonus if you’re familiar with Flink
We're here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government. Because our team focuses on pushing new initiatives, you will also have to:
Identify potential projects that improve the public good
Design novel systems that work around bureaucratic constraints
Advocate and explain these technical ideas to other government agencies
You're not just here to write code, but also to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it. You will work on meaningful projects to reduce scams and make a big impact on people’s lives.
What It Is Like Working Here:
Rapid Prototyping - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.
Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having opinions on what is being done and having ideas on what should be done next. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.
Continuous Learning - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.
GovTech is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that values diverse voices and perspectives, as we believe it is key to innovation.
Our employee benefits are based on a total rewards approach, offering a holistic and market-competitive suite of perks.
We champion flexible work arrangements (subject to your job role) and trust you to manage your time to deliver your best.
