We are a multi-disciplinary team of software engineers, cybersecurity engineers, platform infrastructure engineers, and programme managers. Our mission: Measurably raise the software delivery and operational performance of 54 GDT-managed agency CIO teams — driving them toward defined baselines in security, quality, and resiliency while reducing operational toil. How we work: We use data to identify performance gaps across agency systems (~1,200 agency systems under GDT management), design targeted interventions, prove value through pilots, then scale across agencies. Each intervention is structured around one of six practice areas: Software Delivery Hygiene (DevSecOps) Application Security Test Automation Observability Day-2 Ops Automation IT Governance Our customers are agency CIO teams — GovTech forward-deployed officers responsible for delivering and operating IT systems that serve agency business needs.   [What You Will Be Working On] As an E&P Software Engineer, you will build internal tooling and platform solutions that help agency teams adopt better practices at scale. This is not a typical product engineering role — you operate at the intersection of developer tooling, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement. Your work follows a structured cycle: Problem Discovery: Analyse operational data and engage agency CIO teams to identify gaps and sharpen problem statements. Solution Design: Conceptualise interventions (automation, tooling, dashboards), prototype rapidly, and propose to GDT management for approval. Build & Ship: Design, develop, and maintain solutions that are robust and scalable enough to serve 54 agencies. Write clean, testable code adhering to engineering best practices. Prove & Scale: Run POC/POV with pilot agencies, measure outcomes against baselines, then roll out to the broader agency population. You will also contribute to: Architectural decisions ensuring solutions remain performant and maintainable Code reviews to ensure system coherence CI/CD pipeline and deployment reliability Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives) for continuous improvement   [What We Are Looking For] Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated ability Around 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, though we value the quality of your engineering judgement over years served Solid foundation in modern programming languages (e.g. Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go) Experience with cloud-native architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD tools Practical experience with AI/LLM integration — agentic engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool use, or agentic workflows (multi-step agents, orchestration patterns).
