Key Responsibilities
Application Development & Automation
- Design, develop, deploy and maintain secure, scalable and high-performing full stack applications and automation solutions to support systematic second-line monitoring and assessment of First Line of Defence risk controls; translate IM8, cybersecurity, governance and internal control requirements into configurable rules, workflows and automated checks to identify compliance gaps, support timely escalation and facilitate remediation tracking, while retaining appropriate human review for exceptions and assurance conclusions; take ownership of end-to-end application development, integrating responsive and accessible user interfaces, backend services, databases, cloud infrastructure and workflow functions for compliance assessment, evidence review and exception management.
Reporting & Compliance Visibility
- Develop dashboards and management reports that provide clear visibility of compliance status, identified gaps, remediation progress, risk trends and supporting evidence.
Secure Engineering & DevSecOps
- Establish secure software engineering practices across all systems, including authentication, authorisation, API and frontend security, encryption, secrets management, audit logging, code review, automated testing, vulnerability management and secure deployment.
Artificial Intelligence Enablement
- Explore and implement Artificial Intelligence-assisted capabilities, where appropriate, to analyse documents and evidence, identify potential control gaps and improve the efficiency and consistency of second-line checks, with appropriate human oversight.
Stakeholder Engagement & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with governance, cybersecurity, system owners and other stakeholders to gather requirements, validate automated checks and continuously improve solution accuracy, scalability and usability.
Requirements
Education
- Degree or tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Electronics Engineering, Information Technology or an equivalent discipline.
Experience
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in software engineering, full stack application development or automation, with participation in at least three Agile or full project development life cycles and experience supporting production-grade solutions.
Software Development Technologies
- Strong proficiency in frontend and backend development using relevant technologies such as JavaScript or TypeScript, React.js, Next.js or Vue.js, together with Node.js, Python, Java or .NET.
Database, API & Integration Technologies
- Hands-on experience in database design, SQL or PostgreSQL, data processing and transformation, API development and system integration using technologies such as REST, GraphQL, gRPC or WebSockets.
Cloud Technologies
- Experience in cloud solutioning and deployment, preferably on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud; familiarity with Government Commercial Cloud will be an advantage.
DevSecOps & Platform Engineering
- Experience with DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, source-code management, containerisation and orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform or CloudFormation.
Secure Software Development
- Good knowledge of secure software development practices, including authentication, authorisation, JWT, API security, IAM, secrets management, CSP, CORS, XSS prevention and OWASP Top 10.
Testing & Quality Engineering
- Experience with automated unit, integration, frontend, backend and contract testing using appropriate tools and frameworks.
Governance, Risk & Compliance Knowledge
- Knowledge of IT compliance, cybersecurity, governance, risk management or audit processes, with the ability to translate control requirements into automated validation rules; knowledge and experience of IM8, NIST, ISO 27001/2 or other relevant ICT security policies and standards will be an advantage.
Artificial Intelligence & Advanced Technologies
- Experience with Artificial Intelligence or Large Language Model tools, document analysis, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, workflow systems, dashboards or data visualisation will be an advantage; experience with web scraping, batch processing, serverless services, low-code applications or troubleshooting application, infrastructure and security issues will be an advantage.
Professional Skills
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, with attention to data quality, control accuracy and maintainable solution design; strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work independently and effectively in cross-functional, multi-disciplinary teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
