$80,000–$100,000 year
Hybrid · Singapore, Singapore
Job Summary
As a Software Engineer, you will architect and build critical backend services and scalable APIs using Python and FastAPI, while owning the full lifecycle of major platform components. Your expertise in Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, and cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) will be essential for developing and maintaining the service orchestration infrastructure. You'll collaborate with AI Engineers to create robust technical solutions, manage code reviews, and improve platform reliability. Clear communication skills are vital, alongside a strong background in software development and production systems.
Required Qualifications
- 3–7 years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python, with hands-on experience building REST APIs (FastAPI or similar).
- Experience with Docker and container orchestration; comfort navigating complex multi-service architectures.
- Solid engineering fundamentals: testing, code review, version control (Git), debugging, system design.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), including managed services for compute, storage, and databases.
- Ability to work independently and manage ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment.
- Clear communicator who can translate technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with Kubernetes and Helm for production workloads.
- Frontend skills: React, TypeScript, Next.js, component systems, data visualisation.
- Infrastructure expertise: Terraform, CI/CD pipeline design, monitoring and observability.
- Security background: application security, DevSecOps, compliance frameworks.
- Familiarity with LLM integration, model serving, or ML-adjacent backend work.
- GPU/CUDA infrastructure experience.
- Experience working in defence, pharma, or other regulated industries.
- Experience with air-gapped or on-premise deployment environments.
Additional Requirements
- Production-grade code: You must demonstrate the ability to write clean, tested, maintainable code that ships to production — not just prototypes or notebooks.
- Communication and handover: You must be able to clearly document your work, hand over context to colleagues, and communicate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
- Independent operation: You must be able to work autonomously with minimal supervision, manage ambiguity, and make sound technical decisions.
- T-shaped profile: Depth in your primary area plus working knowledge across the stack.
