Systems Analyst

**What the role is**
- The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is Singapore’s planning authority. Our mission is to make Singapore a great city to live, work and play. We plan and facilitate the physical development of Singapore, in partnership with agencies and the community, to create a vibrant, sustainable and cosmopolitan city of distinction. URA has undergone a digitalisation journey to harness geospatial and data analytics for more data-informed planning. URA was recognized as a leading organization in Digital Transformation with the awarded Asia Pacific 2017 regional DX Leader for Information Visionary and Talent Acceleration by IDC and 2019 Business Transformation Award by PSD. URA has since embarked on a Digitalization 2.0 effort to deepen our capabilities, from planning analytics to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to support our planning processes. URA has recently been designated as the Urban Planning & Design Technology Centre of Excellence (URBEX), where we aim to build up strategic and critical science, technology and engineering capabilities in an efficient and sustainable manner. We will play the role to digitalise and cohere the Whole-of-Government urban planning & design ecosystem in its use of data, tools and models. We also aim to drive innovation, encourage experimentation and sharing of lessons learnt and further strengthen synergies across agencies, and streamline processes. Be part of the URA Design & Planning Lab (DPLab), which spearheads development and experimentation of smart planning technologies through ops-tech inter-disciplinary collaborations. As part of URBEX, our teams with capabilities in software development, geospatial analytics, urban design modelling & simulation, data science, data governance and management, work closely with planners, architects, policy makers across various agencies, as well as external partners, to generate insights and develop solutions to tackle interesting and unique challenges of Singapore’s urban planning needs.

**What you will be working on**
- Join the DPLab team and be part of the expansion and optimisation of our data warehouse and pipelines across systems and agencies. As a technical lead, you will be managing the data engineering team and be involved in developing the strategy, designing the architecture and managing various data pipelines into URA’s data warehouse, exploring different data-sharing platform architecture, integrating data interfaces across backend systems and ensuring seamless data and model-sharing across domains. The data engineering work will directly support data science and analytics, geospatial processing, and the development of digital tools and platforms. The work is exciting, enriching and dynamic, and will require you to interact with a wide spectrum of business users, data scientists and analysts, software developers and other technology expertise within URA and across the public sector.

**What we are looking for**
- Requirements: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related disciplines Experienced in data engineering works including implementation of data pipelines, sharing of data interfaces and the maintenance of data platform Familiarity in use of SQL and relational database like PostgreSQL for data storage and replication, PostGIS for geospatial queries Familiarity in supporting simulation and modelling tools and scripting Ability to lead and work well with a team, and be willing to learn Preferences: Experienced in working with urban planning, transport planning, environmental modelling or related fields Familiarity with CI tools and technologies such as Git, Phabricator, Jenkins and JupyterHub Familiarity in cloud-based deployment solutions like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform
