DevOps Engineer

Role Overview

This contract DevOps role is based in Singapore and focuses on building reliable, portable platform infrastructure, automating system operations, and supporting a production IRM environment for the Singpass pilot. The position combines Kubernetes platform work, Go-based backend tooling, frontend dashboard development, and day-to-day operational support.

Infrastructure, CI/CD and Portability

• Deploy, configure, and run platform services on enterprise Kubernetes through Helm-based delivery.
• Design infrastructure so it remains portable and can be moved cleanly across separate Kubernetes clusters.
• Create and improve CI/CD pipelines that support safe, automated, and repeatable deployments.

Tooling and Backend Automation

• Develop and maintain platform utilities, custom operators, and backend logic using Golang only.
• Work within a Go-first environment for systems engineering, automation, and DevOps tooling.
• This role is not suitable for candidates who depend on Node.js-based tooling such as npm or pnpm for system administration, backend work, or infrastructure automation.

Frontend Execution and Observability

• Build and refine localized IRM dashboard features with TypeScript and pnpm.
• Collaborate with the Product Manager to convert design direction into working UI components.
• Strengthen the platform’s monitoring, logging, and alerting so service health stays visible at all times.
• Handle BAU operational tasks and participate in on-call rotations to maintain service stability for the Singpass pilot.

Engineering Governance and Delivery Rhythm

• Take part in weekly sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.
• Follow team governance practices by reading, discussing, and contributing to RFCs and ADRs.
• Maintain a high standard of engineering quality through clear documentation and thorough testing.

Required Background

The ideal candidate should have a solid foundation in software systems, Linux internals, networking protocols, and cloud-native architecture. Practical familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, and Helm is expected, along with strong coding discipline and an emphasis on clean, well-tested work.

Additional Notes

Success in this environment requires comfort with a tightly defined technical stack: Golang for system-level work, and TypeScript with pnpm for frontend dashboard development. The role also expects active participation in operational support, team rituals, and engineering documentation practices.
