• Implement clean, maintainable, and secure code following best practices

System Design & Architecture

• Contribute to system design, technical solutioning, and architecture discussions

• Ensure solutions meet performance, scalability, and security requirements

• Support integration with external systems (e.g., APIs, government platforms)

DevSecOps & Quality

• Implement automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end)

• Participate in CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices

• Ensure compliance with secure coding standards and governance requirements

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work in Agile teams (Scrum/Kanban) across sprints and releases

• Collaborate with Product Managers, QA, UI/UX, and DevOps engineers

• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in development and production environments

Operations & Continuous Improvement

• Support system deployment, monitoring, and maintenance

• Identify performance bottlenecks and propose improvements

• Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing

Requirements

• 1–3 years of hands-on software development experience

• Strong proficiency in at least one backend language: Java, Python, or C++

• Experience in modern frontend development (Next.js, React, Redux, JavaScript/TypeScript)

• Good understanding of:

o RESTful APIs

o Object-Oriented Design

o Data structures and algorithms

o Secure coding practices

• Familiarity with:

o Git-based workflows (e.g., GitLab)

o CI/CD pipelines

o Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)

o Experience in testing frameworks and automation

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS / Azure)

• Experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus

• Familiarity with DevSecOps tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) is advantageous

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively

• Good communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Proactive mindset with a focus on delivery and quality

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on meaningful public sector digital initiatives.
