[What you will be working on]

We are a team in GovTech that seeks to design and develop software applications that help government agencies to better serve the needs of the people of Singapore. To that end, we employ an agile approach towards development, and work towards adopting the best practices and tools used in the top technology companies and organizations. We are now looking for a top-notch Senior Software Engineer / Tech Lead to join us in this mission.

We are not looking for a diva 10x software engineer. A wise developer once tweeted: "How to be a 10x engineer: help ten other engineers be twice as good." That is the kind of 10x engineer we are looking for – a capability multiplier, someone who will freely share his skills and knowledge to level-up the whole development team. Are you the one?

If so, you will be joining an agile software team, working on developing engaging, user-centric web applications through practices like pair programming and code reviews. You will also have opportunities to explore areas beyond software development, such as devops, cloud infrastructure and security.

As a software engineer, you will:

  • Work in an agile development team to deliver high quality software applications. This will be full stack, from the web frontend to its backend, from feature development to production deployment.
  • Adopt proven software engineering practices like pair programming, code reviews, test-driven development.
  • If you are a more experienced engineer, you will also be expected to lead conversations on solutioning and systems design, establish best practices and mentor other engineers in the team.

[What we are looking for]

  • Experience in modern JavaScript (ES6+) development
    • Frontend: React
    • Backend: Node
  • Experience in the following would be advantageous:
    • Typescript development (both frontend and backend)
    • Responsive UI development with Tailwind
    • Database technologies (both relational and non-relational)
    • Caching technologies (eg. Redis)
  • Familiarity with, and/or working knowledge of the following would be a bonus:
    • AWS infrastructure and its managed services
    • Creating images and deploying containers
    • Development/maintenance of CI/CD pipelines
  • Drive for learning and self-discovery
  • Openness to new ideas
  • Strong sense of ownership and proactiveness in 'making things happen'
  • Willingness and capability to share and impart knowledge

[What we are looking for]

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.
