You will implement coding and cybersecurity standards and work closely with stakeholders to define technical requirements and architecture strategies. Your responsibilities will also span the full project lifecycle — from technical feasibility studies and project planning to design reviews, installation, testing, commissioning, and the documentation of system operation and maintenance manuals.

• Familiarity with Government ICT policies and IM8 compliance standards is likewise desirable, as is a development background in .NET (C#/.NET Core/ASP.NET), Java, or other enterprise application frameworks.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross‑functional, Agile teams.
• A proactive and resourceful approach to problem‑solving, with a strong sense of ownership and analytical thinking.
