What you will be working on

• Build prototypes to demonstrate technology opportunities
• Design system architectures while accounting for security and infrastructure constraints
• Write production quality code
• Know how to best utilise and integrate AI platform services (such as RAG pipeline, evaluation) during application development
• Backend and frontend development of applications
• Manage deployments to on-premise infrastructure and cloud

• Potentially on text NLP related platform services and tools
• Learn and share knowledge in a multi-disciplinary team

Additionally, more senior engineers will be expected to:

You are not just here to write code, but also to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it.

Your job will be to bring expertise and capability to the public sector. Sometimes this means coding new systems from scratch. Other times this means using the best solutions the community has to offer. We use cloud services, open source software, and commodity hardware as far as possible. Knowing what to build and what to reuse lets us avoid wasting time on solved problems and focus on delivering actual value.

What it is like working here
We build products that serve a variety of agency users, who use them to solve highly meaningful problems pertinent to our society, from transportation, to education, to healthcare. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest software can have a big impact on people’s lives. We are here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.

• Rapid Prototyping - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.
• Reliable Productization - To scale an idea, a prototype or a Minimum Viable Product to a software product, we scrutinize and commit to its usability, reliability, scalability and maintainability.
• Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having ideas on how things should be done and taking responsibility for seeing them through. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.
• Continuous Learning - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.

We work mostly in Python and JavaScript. We are looking for proficiency in at least one language and the ability to learn. Strong passion in software engineering is what matters to us.

We look for people who:

• Have a demonstrated ability to build software
• Can write code to solve abstract problems
• Can think critically on how to get the code correct and cover the edge cases
• Can talk and reason about code with other engineers
• Have a demonstrated ability in writing efficient code
• Adequate exposure to cloud or on-prem production environment, and experience in deployment would be an advantage
• Able to design, develop and maintain RESTful APIs using Python, ensuring high performance, security and scalability
• Experience with web frameworks like FastAPI
• Understanding of devops, CI/CD and on-premise infrastructure would be an advantage
• Experience working with orchestration, monitoring, logging and LLM application components e.g. Langchain, prefect, prometheus
