The Singpass team builds Singapore’s digital identity system. This includes various personal authentication protocols, data sharingtools, and corporate identity systems through Corppass. The team’s mission is to provide reliable digital identity infrastructure thatstreamlines transactions, enables businesses, and protects against fraud.

[What you will be working on]

You will be part of Singpass' Anti-Fraud team, which is responsible for protecting Singpass accounts from being compromised andutilised for fraudulent, criminal purposes. The team’s mission is twofold : to minimise compromise of Singpass accounts at the point oflive logins, and to minimise the damage done on compromised accounts through pre-emptive, active monitoring. As a Data Scientist,what this primarily means in practice is that you will be building state-of-the-art solutions (training ML models, feature engineeringetc.) that detect such fraudulent activities.

Here in Singpass, we believe in building full-stack Data Science capabilities that enable Data Scientists to create impactindependently, end-to-end. This means that you will be expected to :

• Apply strong, sound foundations in statistics to inform your experiments and evaluations
• Conduct comprehensive data analytics on big, complex datasets
• Rapidly experiment with various techniques to achieve incremental gain in detecting fraud
• Build and maintain production systems that process data and serve ML models for inference
• Design MLOps architectures and deploy reliable, scalable ML solutions to cloud infrastructure
• Build Data Engineering flows that unlock the team’s ability to build new features, signals

You are not just here to write code and execute tasks, but also to figure out what we should be experimenting with and how we shouldcontinuously push the needle in our fight against fraud. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest solutions canhave a big impact on people's lives. We are here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.

[What we are looking for]

Decision-making

Ownership

Cross-functional

Continuous Learning

We work mostly in Python, with a strong emphasis on the ability to use PySpark for big data analytics and data science. Our IaC language is in typescript, and our engineering is mostly in Java / Go (which you may be occasionally required to dabble in as part of the end-to-end deployments). Ultimately, core competencies in data analytics, data engineering and data science methodologies are what really matter to us as a team.

We look for people who :

Have a demonstrated ability to experiment rapidly and deploy ML solutions end-to-end.

Possess a strong desire for continuous learning.

Talk and reason about code with other data scientists and engineers.

Take initiative to make things happen.

Want to work for the public good.

Focus on product impact and are user-oriented.

Experience in authentication and / or the anti-fraud space would be a bonus.

Overall we look for people who have ability, initiative, good communication, and strong values.

GovTech is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that values diverse voices and perspectives, as we believe it is key to innovation.

Our employee benefits are based on a total rewards approach, offering a holistic
