Build the Digital Platform Backbone
- Design and implement a standardised cloud-native platform across SingPost
- Lead Kubernetes platform strategy (EKS / hybrid environments)
- Establish reusable platform components for engineering teams
Own Developer Platform & Engineering Enablement
- Build and scale an internal developer platform (IDP)
- Standardise CI/CD pipelines, deployment models, and environments
- Improve developer productivity and reduce time-to-deploy
Drive Modern Architecture Patterns
- Implement event-driven architectures (Kafka, streaming)
- Guide microservices design and API standards (REST, gRPC)
- Improve system resilience, scalability, and fault tolerance
Reduce Vendor Dependency
- Work alongside SI partners (Accenture, NCS, DXC, etc.) but challenge and elevate their designs
- Build critical capabilities in-house where it makes sense
- Ensure long-term maintainability and cost efficiency
Engineering Standards & Governance
- Define and enforce:
- Platform standards
- Security (TLS, mTLS, zero trust principles)
- Observability (logs, metrics, tracing)
- Drive DevSecOps practices across teams
Hands-On Leadership
- Lead a team of engineers and architects (Singapore + offshore)
- Stay close to the code and architecture
- Review designs, debug issues, and guide implementation
Requirement
- Experience leading engineering teams (10-20+ engineers)
- Ability to mentor engineers and raise technical standards
- Comfortable working with both internal teams and external partners
- Experienced in the following:
- Kafka / event streaming
- APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL)
- CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
- Solid networking fundamentals (TCP, TLS, mTLS)
