Senior/StaffSoftwareEngineer,Judiciary

GovTech is the lead agency driving Singapore’s Smart Nation initiatives and public sector digital transformation. As the Centre of Excellence for Infocomm Technology and Smart Systems (ICT the team values sharp engineering taste, strong fundamentals (testing, CI/CD, observability, secure-by-design), root-cause problem solving, high initiative, and the ability to defend technical positions robustly while remaining open to being persuaded, all within a direct, candid-feedback culture. About the role Judiciary is hiring a Software Engineer to develop and support our portfolio of software products. The role suits an engineer who thinks rigorously about quality, takes ownership end-to-end, and can get onboard with how we build software here: AI supports our work — we own every decision. How we build We deliberately favour simple, boring technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, containers, and minimal JavaScript dependencies. We're optimising for systems that are easy to reason about, easy to operate, and still maintainable years from now. We prefer to "make impossible states impossible" rather than rely on continued diligence. AI supports our work — we own every decision. The thinking, the design, the judgement, the call on whether something is right: that comes from the engineer. The execution can lean on AI as far as it's useful. We don't outsource decisions to a model, and we don't avoid AI out of purism either. You own what ships. We're direct with each other. Feedback is candid, recognition is earned. What you'll do Design, build, and support software products that underpin Judiciary's work Take problems from ambiguous brief through to production — including testing, deployment, monitoring, and incident response Participate in design discussions and code reviews; advocate clearly for technical positions and update your view when the evidence warrants it Identify improvements to systems, tooling, and ways of working — and drive them through What we're looking for Sharp engineer
