Devops Engineer

• Infrastructure Architecture & Highly Portable Systems • Cloud Infrastructure: Design, harden, and operate enterprise Kubernetes (EKS) clusters on GCC+. • Portable Architecture: Own the infrastructure design with a strict emphasis on portability. Configuration management, state, and workloads must be architected to allow easy porting across different Kubernetes environments without platform lock-in. • Platform Deployment: Deploy, optimize, and manage our core enterprise open-source IRM platform using Helm charts, ensuring 24/7 high availability, multi-zone resilience, and self-healing capabilities for the Singpass pilot. • Backend & Custom Tooling (Strict Golang Ecosystem) • Systems Programming: Lead the design and development of all internal backend services, custom SRE automation, DevOps pipelines, and system administration tooling. • Strict Ecosystem Constraint: All backend code, APIs, and infrastructure tooling must be built exclusively in Golang. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy for Node.js (npm/pnpm) within our backend or infrastructure engineering ecosystem. • Technical Leadership & Agile Execution • Team Leadership: Formally mentor and lead a dedicated squad of 5 engineers. Establish engineering excellence through rigorous code reviews, automated testing standards, and robust CI/CD practices. • Agile Governance: Actively drive and participate in core agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog grooming, and team retrospectives to foster a culture of continuous improvement. • Strategic Alignment: Partner closely with the Product Manager and the Singpass Engineering Manager to scope technical roadmaps and translate mission requirements into scalable architecture. • Strict Engineering Governance • Documentation as Code: Enforce absolute discipline regarding architectural decisions. You will be responsible for authoring and reviewing RFCs (Requests for Comments) and maintaining a rigorous repository of ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) to ensure all technical choices are transparent, debated, and well-documented. What We Are Looking For Technical Mastery • Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and highly secure cloud infrastructure environments. • Proven track record of designing highly portable, platform-agnostic Kubernetes manifests and configurations. • Dual-Stack Development Skills: ○ Expert proficiency in Golang for high-integrity backend services, custom operators, and systems programming. ○ Solid proficiency/oversight capability in TypeScript and pnpm for modern frontend development. Engineering Culture & Leadership • Strict Process Discipline: Deep familiarity and alignment with writing/maintaining ADRs and RFCs to drive technical consensus. • Agile Delivery: Proven experience leading engineers within an active sprint environment and running impactful team retrospectives. • A proven track record of mentoring mid/junior developers and translating ambiguous platform requirements into concrete technical designs.
