Posted 2026-08-03; applications close 2026-10-23. **Apply**: https://jobs.careers.gov.sg/jobs/greenhouse/4005406201?gh_jid=4005406201 Posted 1mo ago. ## Role details ## About GovTech The Government Technology Agency (GovTech) seeks to transform the delivery of Government Digital Services by adopting an "outside-in" view, keeping citizens and businesses at the heart of everything we do. We also develop the Smart Nation infrastructure and applications, and facilitate collaboration with the public to co-develop technologies. Join us as we support Singapore's vision of building a Smart Nation: a nation of possibilities empowered through info-communications technology and related engineering. ## The Anti Scam Products Team The GovTech Anti Scam Products Team's mission is to build technological solutions to detect, disrupt, and deter scammers at scale. This work encompasses data infrastructure, developing and deploying AI & ML for proactive detection, establishing API connections with partners, and building front-end systems for enforcement agencies. ## Role Overview Bring your engineering expertise and problem-solving ability to the fight against scams using technology. You will deliver features spanning multiple components, make sound trade-offs between speed, quality, and maintainability, and take growing ownership of the systems you build. We leverage cloud services and open source wherever possible, utilizing AWS, React/React Native, and a mix of SQL/NoSQL databases. We prioritize knowing what to build versus what to reuse to focus on delivering value rather than re-solving solved problems. ## Responsibilities - Build Proofs of Concept (POCs) and features spanning multiple components to demonstrate technological opportunities. - Contribute to system architecture and design decisions, with mentorship on cross-component trade-offs. - Write and review production-quality code, expanding test coverage across key workflows. - Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, manage cloud deployments, and own observability for deployed services (logging, metrics, SLIs/SLOs). - Participate in incident triage and resolution, escalating complex issues appropriately. - Utilize AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate delivery, reviewing AI-generated code to the same standard as human-authored code. ## Requirements ### Must Have - Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, and/or TypeScript. - Experience with CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) setups. - Strong knowledge of AWS Cloud. - Strong command of algorithms and data structures. - Proven ability to deliver high-quality work. ### Preferred Qualifications - Experience running containers or serverless services. - Experience building high-scale, low-latency APIs and deploying scaled AI/ML solutions. - Familiarity with data-intensive frameworks and data warehousing (e.g., AWS Glue, Spark); bonus for graph databases (e.g., Neo4j). - Experience with event-driven and streaming architectures using SQS/SNS/EventBridge; bonus for Kinesis. ## Impact and Scope We are driven to improve society through our work as a government agency. Because our team focuses on pushing new initiatives, you will also: - Help identify potential public good projects. - Contribute to designing systems that function effectively in real-world scenarios. This role is not just about writing code; it is about helping define what we should be building and how we should build it. You will work on meaningful projects to reduce scams and make a substantial impact on people's lives. ## What It's Like Working Here - **Rapid Prototyping:** Instead of debating ideas extensively, we prefer testing them. This quickly identifies potential problems and clearly demonstrates possibilities to others. - **Ownership:** Beyond technical duties, this involves having informed opinions on current work and contributing ideas for future direction. Building something you believe in is the best way to build something good. - **Continuous Learning:** Working on new ideas often means not starting with full knowledge. Dedicating time to learning new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is essential and encouraged. ## Culture and Benefits GovTech is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that values diverse voices and perspectives, as we believe that diversity is the foundation of innovation. Our employee benefits are structured around a total rewards approach, offering a holistic and market-competitive suite of perks, including leave benefits to meet your work-life needs and employee wellness programs. We champion flexible work arrangements (subject to role requirements) and trust employees to manage their time effectively to deliver their best work, wherever and however it works best for them.
