## Job description

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary product team that designs, builds and ships full stack web applications that directly support organisational operations and decision-making. A key focus of this role is the development of an internal chat assistant powered by production AI, purpose-built to augment the productivity and capabilities of staff across the organisation. You are a motivated self-starter who takes initiative, thrives in a collaborative environment, takes ownership of features end-to-end and cares deeply about the quality and reliability of code running in production.

## Responsibilities

- Full-Stack Engineering: Architect, develop, and optimize scalable web applications and high-performance APIs using JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Java. You will build systems where latency matters and reliability is non-negotiable.
- AI Feature Integration: Move beyond theory by implementing emerging AI patterns into production. You will deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for precise semantic search, design autonomous agents for complex analytical tasks, and build LLM-driven conversational interfaces that augment human decision-making.
- Data Persistence & Retrieval: Design robust data solutions using MongoDB and Elasticsearch to handle high-volume transactions and standard CRUD operations. You will extend these capabilities with advanced vector search and embedding strategies to power our next-generation AI features.
- Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps: Ensure the resilience and scalability of our mission-critical applications by managing CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud-native services to guarantee seamless uptime under pressure.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with UI/UX designers, data engineers, and product managers to deliver seamless, high-quality digital experiences that meet the rigorous needs of analysts.

## Requirements

- Background in Computer Science or a related field, with proven hands-on experience in software development.
- Proficiency in building dynamic, responsive user interfaces using React.js and the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem.
- Proven experience building efficient, secure RESTful APIs with frameworks such as Express.js, Fastify, FastAPI, Spring Boot, or equivalent enterprise-grade tools.
- Hands-on experience managing data persistence and search layers using MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, or comparable NoSQL and search engines.
- Familiarity with common design patterns, writing scalable code, and successfully integrating services within complex, distributed systems.

Nice-to-haves

- Exposure to cloud-native development and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes).
- Hands-on experience with AI orchestration frameworks.
- Prior experience building AI-enabled enterprise platforms, automation systems, or high-traffic applications.
- Familiarity with AI engineering, including integrations, prompt engineering, and embedding strategies.
- Exposure to advanced search architectures, specifically vector search, semantic search, and RAG patterns.

Why Join Us?

- Work that matters: Your applications will directly support Singapore's national security by turning raw data into actionable insights.
- Cutting-edge tech: Gain hands-on experience deploying AI solutions and modern, cloud-native data technologies at meaningful scale.
- Collaborative culture: Join a talented team with a strong engineering ethos and a commitment to real work-life balance.
- Room to grow: We invest in our engineers, creating space for you to innovate in the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence.
