Our client is an organization embarking on a landmark digital transformation initiative — building a next-generation, whole-of-government (WOG) procurement platform that will reshape how public officers and external suppliers conduct procurement across the entire Singapore public sector.
As Senior Enterprise Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical leader who owns broad, complex engineering domains end-to-end. You will drive architectural standards, mentor junior engineers, manage vendor quality, and ensure the platform is resilient, secure, and built to last.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of enterprise-grade engineering and genuine public impact.
What You'll Do
Technical Delivery & Architecture
- Lead product development, system integration, and architecture design for large-scale, high-availability enterprise applications used across government
- Implement complex workflows, multi-object data models, and platform extensions independently
- Proactively reduce platform debt and resolve multi-module production bottlenecks
- Safely manage complex data migrations with strict pre-checks, reconciliation protocols, and backout plans
- Document architectural trade-offs using Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
Governance, Standards & Vendor Management
- Review vendor-delivered configurations against agreed engineering standards
- Define acceptance criteria covering test evidence, security checks, and deployment readiness
- Maintain a Vendor Quality Log to track and prevent recurring engineering gaps
- Lead configuration reviews and enforce naming conventions, design patterns, and code reuse
- Establish mandatory review checklists for high-impact changes (permissions, data models, integration touchpoints)
- Review all configurations for security risks and ensure strict alignment with government compliance and data classification requirements
Leadership & Collaboration
- Partner with Product Managers and UX Designers to translate business requirements into technical roadmaps and actionable engineering tasks
- Mentor junior engineers through structured feedback, regular check-ins, and hands-on problem-solving support
- Champion an automation-first culture to elevate Developer Experience (DevX) and reduce delivery risk
- Drive CI/CD pipeline maturity, automated testing, and safe integration patterns
- Facilitate cross-functional alignment and constructively challenge the status quo
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
- Bachelor's degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Software/Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on DevOps software engineering experience in Agile/Scrum environments
- Proven track record on large-scale, high-availability enterprise systems
- Proficiency in modern front-end and back-end web technologies: Next.js, React.js, JavaScript, Node.js, CSS
- Experience with ETL pipelines and AWS for complex data migrations
- Familiarity with SaaS, Bespoke, and COTS solution development
- Strong automation expertise across the development lifecycle (test automation, infrastructure-as-code, deployment automation)
- Solid understanding of public sector data protection, privacy regulations, and compliance requirements
Strongly Preferred
- Experience with Procurement and/or ERP SaaS platforms (e.g. Ivalua or equivalent)
- Direct hands-on experience with GCC (Government Commercial Cloud), SHIP-HATS, and the SG Tech Stack (SGTS)
- Prior experience delivering within Singapore public sector or government-adjacent environments
Leadership Profile
- Comfortable stepping into transitional people management while remaining a hands-on practitioner
- Strong communicator — able to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Genuine passion for building technology that serves the public good
