• Observability tooling knowledge (Cloud Logging/Monitoring/Trace, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Grafana, New Relic).
• Experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) in daily development.
• Knowledge of Vertex AI/LLM development or model evaluation is an advantage.
• Ability to evaluate data stores (MongoDB, Redis/Memorystore) for unstructured data and caching.
• Experience building in Flutter and WASM is an advantage.
• Background in construction tech (AEC, BIM, GIS, CDE, PMIS) is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain technical roadmaps for web, mobile, and backend systems aligned with project, business, and organisational requirements.
• Define and oversee end-to-end software architecture and services on Google Cloud Platform.
• Conduct thorough technical assessments to identify opportunities for system improvement, modernisation, and innovation.
• Ensure architectural decisions are documented, communicated, and aligned with the organisation's digital stack and engineering standards.
• Provide strategic input to product, design, and engineering management on feasibility, sequencing, and trade-offs.
• Provide leadership, training, advice and guidance to grow team capability across frontend, mobile, and backend disciplines.
• Support career development, coaching, and mentoring of engineers through one-on-one sessions, design reviews, and code reviews.
• Establish and maintain engineering standards, coding conventions, and review processes to ensure consistent quality across the team.
• Document and share key processes, knowledge, technical decisions, best practices, tools, techniques and lessons learnt to ensure continuous learning and improvement.
• Keep up-to-date with software engineering advancements through self-learning, training, and conferences.
• Lead and drive the implementation of digital product features across React, React Native, and Node.js, including authentication, data services, real-time integrations, and AI-backed capabilities.
• Oversee and manage day-to-day engineering operations, deliverables, and on-call rotations.
• Ensure seamless integration and implementation of Google Cloud Platform services (e.g. GKE, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Build, Vertex AI) into engineering workflows and product systems.
• Establish and uphold observability standards using Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Trace, OpenTelemetry, and related tooling to enable rapid detection and resolution of production issues.
• Drive the adoption of AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, etc.) including evaluation, integration, and the establishment of team workflows around them.
• Establish governance, policies, procedures and protocols for code review, deployment, data exchange, access control, and cybersecurity measures.
• Communicate and collaborate across departments, projects, and subsidiaries to raise awareness, align expectations, and drive engineering delivery initiatives.
• Produce progress reports on bi-weekly/monthly basis or as when requested to identify and measure engineering delivery progress.
