Who we are
The mission of GovTech's Data and Artificial Intelligence Platforms team is to deliver high-quality reusable Data and AI assets and services for policy making, service delivery and operations across WOG.
What the products are
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Data and Artificial Intelligence Platforms (DAIP) team. The existing Government Data Architecture (GDA), launched in 2019, laid the groundwork for WOG data sharing via TCs, SSOTs and central platforms. As the data technology landscape is rapidly evolving and data/system requirements are becoming increasingly complex and interconnected, to better support agencies, the next phase of GDA (i.e. GDA 2.0) aims to consolidate, streamline, and elevate the products and initiatives within the WOG data landscape – this includes the development of the following products.
DataHive as the next-gen WOG Data Discovery & Request Platform to cater to a wider range of WOG requirements and use cases. DataHive has been further enhanced to support both data requestors and providers as follows. 1) Data requestors/consumers will experience a streamlined data search and request process, with options to access data via curated APIs and through an analytics workbench. 2) Data providers can expect more flexibility and control in the management of datasets on the platform itself.
Data products that compute and serve derived data for ops and service delivery for multiple agencies. By adopting the “Build Once, Use Many Times” approach for such data products, the intent is to achieve the benefit of cost-savings, better data quality and improving time-to-market for new services.
Fraud Detection Platform (FDP). FDP is a central platform for Grant Fraud Insights. It draws data from TC Business & Individual, combines it as a graph and generates insights on businesses and individuals for government grant, procurement and finance due diligence checks and audits.
What you will be working on
As a software engineer, you will:
Build prototypes to demonstrate technology opportunities
Design system architectures
Write production quality code
Manage deployments to cloud and (occasionally) on-premise infrastructure
Learn and share knowledge in a multi-disciplinary team.
Additionally, more senior engineers will be expected to:
Establish best practices
Share your expertise and mentor other engineers
Help with recruiting.
You are not just here to write code, but also to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it.
Your job will be to bring expertise and capability to the public sector. Sometimes this means coding new systems from scratch. Other times this means using the best solutions the community has to offer. We use cloud services, open source software, and commodity hardware as far as possible. Knowing what to build and what to reuse lets us avoid wasting time on solved problems and focus on delivering actual value.
What it is like working here
We build products that serve a variety of agency users, who use them to solve highly meaningful problems pertinent to our society, from transportation, to education, to healthcare. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest software can have a big impact on people’s lives. We are here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.
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.
Reliable Productization - To scale an idea, a prototype or a Minimum Viable Product to a software product, we scrutinize and commit to its usability, reliability, scalability and maintainability.
Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having ideas on how things should be done and taking responsibility for seeing them through. 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.
What we are looking for
We work mostly in Python, JavaScript and Scala. We are looking for proficiency in at least one language and the ability to learn. Strong passion in software engineering is what matters to us.
We look for people who:
Have a demonstrated ability to build software
Can write code to solve abstract problems
Can think critically on how to get the code correct and cover the edge cases
Can talk and reason about code with other engineers
Have a demonstrated ability in writing efficient code
Adequate exposure to cloud or on-prem production environment, and experience in deployment would be an advantage
Understanding of devops, CI/CD would be an advantage
Have an interest in data science and machine learning
Take the initiative to make things happen
Want to work for the public good
Our employee benefits are based on a total rewards approach, offering a holistic and market-competitive suite of perks. These include leave benefits to meet your work-life needs and employee wellness programmes.
We champion flexible work arrangements (subject to your job role) and trust that you will manage your own time to deliver your best, wherever you are, and whatever works best for you.
