Job description

Activate Interactive Pte Ltd is a leading technology consultancy headquartered in Singapore with a presence in Malaysia and Indonesia. Our clients are empowered with quality, cost-effective, and impactful end-to-end application development, like mobile and web applications, and cloud technology that remove technology roadblocks and increase their business efficiency.

We believe in positively impacting the lives of people around us and the environment we live in through the use of technology. Hence, we are committed to providing a conducive environment for all employees to realize their full potential, who in turn have the opportunity to continuously drive innovation.

We are searching for our next team members to join our growing team.

This is a 12-month fixed term contract role. You will be a key contributor to the IRM pilot, working under the close mentorship of our Senior Tech Lead and reporting up to an elite SRE leadership team. You will be responsible for the "pipes and wires" that keep our unified Incident Response Management (IRM) platform bulletproof during high‑stakes operations securing Singpass.

This role requires a balance of implementation speed, a passion for automation, and strict operational discipline. You will help build a highly portable, secure, cloud‑native ecosystem on GCC+ that can easily transition across distinct Kubernetes environments without platform lock‑in.

Responsibilities

• Infrastructure, CI/CD & Portability
• Cluster Operations: Deploy, configure, and maintain platform services on enterprise Kubernetes (EKS) using Helm charts
• Portable Deployment: Implement infrastructure configurations with a strict focus on portability, ensuring applications can be cleanly migrated between distinct Kubernetes clusters
• CI/CD Pipelines: Build and optimize robust CI/CD pipelines to ensure safe, automated, and repeatable deployments
• Tooling & Backend Automation (Strict Golang Ecosystem)
• System Automation: Build and maintain platform tools, custom operators, and backend logic exclusively in Golang
• Strict Ecosystem Constraint: We are a Go-centric shop for all system-level and infrastructure work. If you rely on Node.js (npm/pnpm) for system administration, backend logic, or DevOps tooling, this environment will not be a fit
• Frontend Execution & Observability
• UI Implementation: Develop, refine, and localise user‑facing IRM dashboard components using TypeScript and pnpm, working closely with the Product Manager to bring UX designs to life
• Platform Visibility: Continuously improve the monitoring, logging, and alerting systems of the IRM platform itself to ensure its operational health is always visible
• Operations (BAU): Take on foundational business‑as‑usual (BAU) operations and on‑call rotations to guarantee absolute service stability for the Singpass pilot
• Engineering Governance & Sprints
• Process Discipline: Actively participate in weekly sprint cycles, backlog grooming, and team retrospectives
• Documentation Standards: Adhere strictly to the team's engineering governance by actively consuming, participating in debates over, and contributing to RFCs (Requests for Comments) and ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)

Requirements

• Core Systems: Strong foundational understanding of software systems, Linux internals, networking protocols, and cloud‑native architecture
• Kubernetes Familiarity: Hands‑on experience or solid theoretical knowledge of Kubernetes, containers, and Helm
• Strong proficiency in Golang (required for all backend, automation, and systems tooling)
• Proficiency in TypeScript and pnpm (required for frontend dashboard features)
• Quality First: Habit of writing clean, well‑documented, and comprehensively tested code
• Appetite for Process: Eagerness to work in a structured engineering environment governed by sprints, code reviews, ADRs, and RFCs
• Communication: Ability to clearly explain technical trade‑offs and collaborate effectively with both engineering peers and the Product Manager
• On‑Site Availability: Commitment to work on‑site at GovTech HQ for the duration of the 12‑month contract

Benefits

• Fun working environment
• Employee Wellness Program
• Work on Singapore Government Agency projects
• Structured development framework and growth opportunities. (We are a "SHRI 2025 Gold winner" in "Learning & Development; Coaching & Mentoring")
