[About the Role] 

The Government Digital Products (GDP) Team aims to spearhead the digital transformation of government. Our team aims to design and develop software applications that help government agencies to better serve the needs of the people of Singapore. 

At the Engagement and Case Management Programme, our products are the primary touchpoints through which residents interact with the Singapore Government. We design and develop a suite of software applications including FileSG, Signify, PersonaliseSG, CrowdTask SG, and BookingSG. 

This Senior Software Engineer role is heavily focused on DevOps, SRE, and cloud infrastructure management (AWS). A crucial aspect of the role involves designing, developing, and maintaining the AWS-based infrastructure across multiple ECMP products to ensure the highest standards of quality and performance. 

As a hands-on engineer reporting to the Programme’s Tech Lead, you will also play a key role in designing and building shared platform capabilities, championing the DevOps culture and continuously improving how Software Engineers (SWEs) build and operate software through technical guidance and coaching. 

 

[What you will be working on] 

Platform Engineering & DevOps

• Drive the evolution towards a platform engineering model, building reusable, self-service infrastructure and tooling that enables teams to build, deploy, and operate services efficiently.
• Establish standardized ways of building, deploying, and operating services across the programme.
• Abstract infrastructure complexity to enable self-service capabilities aligned with platform standards.
• Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) for fast, safe, and repeatable deployments, including progressive delivery (e.g., canary, rollbacks).
• Automate and standardize build, test, and deployment workflows across environments.
• Influence cross-team architecture to ensure scalability, resilience, and alignment with platform strategy.
