Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Build & Enhance Product Features (Full Stack)

• Develop user-centric product features using ReactJS (responsive UI, accessible components, state management, form-heavy workflows).
• Design and build backend services in Golang (REST APIs, workflow orchestration, integration services, reusable modules).
• Deliver end-to-end changes from requirements implementation testing deployment support.

Platform Engineering with Standardisation & Configurability

• Build capabilities that enable a common baseline workflow while supporting approved configurable variations across agencies (e.g., criteria, approval hierarchies, templates, reporting, integrations).
• Contribute to platform-first patterns (feature flags, configuration-driven behaviour, modular service boundaries) to keep customisation controlled.
• Support convergence decisions by providing technical feasibility, effort sizing, and risk assessment.

System Design & Integration

• Design scalable service architectures (domain boundaries, data models, API contracts, caching, async processing if needed).
• Integrate with external systems/services and manage data exchange patterns securely (API gateways, identity, audit trails).
• Work with BAs/BPR and architects to translate process maps and requirements into implementable designs.

Quality Engineering & Reliability

• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code (unit, integration, contract tests).
• Participate in code reviews, enforce engineering standards, and contribute to continuous improvement.
• Implement observability and operational readiness (structured logs, metrics, dashboards, alerting hooks) to support BAU stability.

Security & Compliance-by-Design

• Apply secure coding practices and support security scanning/remediation (SAST/DAST where applicable).
• Implement RBAC/ABAC considerations, data protection, and audit logging for sensitive workflows.
• Work with security stakeholders to meet compliance and governance expectations for public sector platforms.

Agile Delivery & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Participate actively in sprint ceremonies and contribute to backlog refinement (technical stories, NFRs, enablers).
• Support releases, deployments, and incident situations (triage, hotfixes, post-incident actions).
• Provide mentorship to engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing across product teams.

Requirements

Core Technical (must-have)

• Frontend: Strong hands-on experience with ReactJS (TypeScript preferred), modern component patterns, performance tuning, accessibility, responsive design.
• Backend: Strong hands-on experience with Golang building production-grade APIs/services.
• API & Services: RESTful design, authentication/authorization patterns, integration experience.
• Databases: Solid experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and data modelling; familiarity with caching (e.g., Redis) is a plus.
• Testing: Unit/integration testing and test automation practices for both frontend and backend.
• Engineering Fundamentals: Clean code, refactoring, code reviews, debugging, and performance profiling.

Platform / DevOps / Cloud (strongly preferred)

• Experience delivering on cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and working with CI/CD pipelines.
• Understanding of containerization (Docker) and deployment patterns (ECS/EKS or equivalents).
• Familiarity with observability tools and practices (logs/metrics/traces).

Experience

• 7+ years total engineering experience, with 3+ years in a senior/lead IC capacity (owning design and delivery end-to-end).
• Experience delivering workflow-heavy enterprise applications (case management, grants/scholarships, HR, finance, approvals) is a strong advantage.
