Job Description
Together, We Can Make A Significant Impact – Position Overview
As a Software Engineer, you will be part of an Agile, cross-functional product delivery team responsible for designing, developing, testing, and maintaining mission-critical digital solutions. You will deliver functional and scalable features from the product backlog, contribute across the software development lifecycle, and help ensure that solutions are reliable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with user needs. This role is suitable for engineers with 1-3 years of experience; fresh graduates with strong fundamentals, internship experience, or relevant project work may also be considered.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver functional, tested, secure, and scalable software features based on the product backlog and agreed sprint priorities.
- Work in cross-functional Agile teams and contribute to sprint planning, backlog refinement, development, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with QA engineers, Product Designers, DevOps engineers, Business Analysts, Product Owners, and stakeholders to ensure solutions meet both technical and user requirements.
- Clarify requirements where required and translate business or user needs into technical specifications, implementation tasks, and acceptance considerations.
- Develop front-end applications, backend services, APIs, and software modules using the project's approved technology stack.
- Support development for Proof of Concept (POC) and/or Initial Operations Capability (IOC) initiatives, enabling safe experimentation and incremental delivery.
- Write and maintain unit and integration tests to support automated testing, quality gates, and continuous integration pipelines.
- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates for automated build, testing, security scanning, and deployment in alignment with the Authority's toolchain.
- Set up, maintain, and troubleshoot development environments to support productive development, testing, and experimentation.
- Apply DevSecOps practices, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, secure coding standards, and software maintenance best practices where applicable.
- Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve software defects, technical issues, and post-deployment support matters in a timely manner.
- Participate in code reviews, technical documentation, technical evaluation, benchmarking, and quality assurance activities.
- Work with minimal supervision on assigned modules and, where required, coordinate small tasks or workstreams while contributing to team delivery and technical discussions.
Job Requirements
- Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline. 1-3 years of relevant software development experience is preferred; fresh graduates may be considered.
- Proficiency in one or more relevant languages or frameworks, such as TypeScript with Angular, React, or Next.js; C#; Java; or other languages depending on project needs.
- Familiarity with one or more database technologies, such as MSSQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
- Good understanding of SDLC practices, object-oriented programming, RESTful API design, microservices concepts, software maintenance, and secure coding practices.
- Familiarity with Agile and Scrum practices, with the ability to work in sprint-based delivery environments.
- Familiarity with DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, code quality practices, and version control tools such as Git and GitHub or equivalent platforms.
- Knowledge of containerisation and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes will be advantageous. Exposure to cloud environments, Infrastructure as Code, or DevSecOps toolchains will be an added advantage.
- Able to apply industry best practices in quality assurance, technical evaluation, and benchmarking, and adapt approaches based on project requirements.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues, evaluate options, and propose practical technical solutions.
- Able to communicate clearly and collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams and with stakeholders.
- Keen to learn, adaptable, responsible, and comfortable working in a mission-driven environment where quality, security, and impact matter.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to work on meaningful public sector digital initiatives.
- A supportive, purpose-driven team culture.
- Structured career development and technical upskilling.
- Access to modern tools, cloud technologies, and secure DevSecOps environments.
