Description
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 & SS), GovTech develops the Singapore Government's capabilities in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, Application Development, Smart City Technology, Digital Infrastructure, and Cybersecurity.
The Ministry of Education is building AI products and shared platform capabilities that can improve how students learn, how teachers work, and how HQ teams run complex operational workflows. The AI Platform & Capability Programme sits at the centre of this work. We build and support AI-native products such as learning assistants, marking tools, procurement agents, multimodal prototypes, and the shared evaluation, observability, model-access, and governance capabilities needed to scale them responsibly.
As a Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, test, deploy, and operate AI-enabled products and platform components across MOE. You will work on areas such as LLM integration, agentic workflows, evaluation harnesses, observability, guardrails, model access, retrieval/memory patterns, and multimodal AI use cases. You will take ambiguous education or corporate operations problems and turn them into maintainable software with clear success metrics.
We are looking for strong software engineering fundamentals, good engineering judgement, comfort with ambiguity, appetite for AI-native engineering, pragmatic taste in technology, ownership mindset, ability to work with non-technical stakeholders, and bias for measurable quality.
In the first 6 months, you should have shipped meaningful production work in at least one product or platform area, improved the team's engineering quality bar, and helped convert one-off AI delivery into reusable capability.
GovTech offers a total rewards approach, providing leave benefits, employee wellness programs, and flexible work arrangements.
