Platform Engineer (DevSecOps)

About the role

Join a Singapore public sector client as a Platform Engineer in a secure, mission-critical AWS-based cloud environment. You will onboard applications onto the platform, enable system integration through a common enterprise integration hub, run cloud monitoring and operations, and help software teams understand and remediate security findings from platform-provided controls. The CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps platform and security scanning toolchains are built and managed by a separate platform team. Your focus is using them well and helping development teams do the same. You will also pick up full stack web development for experimentation and proof-of-concept work.

What you will do

Cloud platform and application onboarding

• Work with software development teams to onboard applications onto the cloud platform.
• Configure and use the approved CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes provided by the platform team.
• Provision and deploy cloud infrastructure in line with approved solution architecture designs and implementation specifications.
• Configure and maintain application deployment artefacts, environment configurations and infrastructure definitions.
• Resolve deployment, security, compliance and operational issues with solution architects, platform teams, cybersecurity stakeholders and developers.
• Automate operational and deployment tasks through scripting and approved automation tools.

System integration and enablement

• Onboard and integrate applications and services from multiple development teams through a common enterprise integration hub.
• Configure and support connectivity between applications and the integration platform using approved services, configurations and patterns.
• Support API onboarding, configuration, testing, deployment and operationalisation.
• Troubleshoot integration issues across interconnected systems and services.
• Help software teams adopt integration standards, governance requirements and operational practices.
• Develop and maintain integration documentation, interface configurations and operational procedures.
• Support testing and validation of integrated application workflows across multiple systems.

Monitoring and cloud operations

• Configure, deploy and maintain cloud monitoring, logging and alerting solutions.
• Monitor cloud infrastructure, applications and workloads for availability, reliability and operational visibility.
• Investigate alerts, anomalies and operational issues, and coordinate troubleshooting and remediation.
• Build dashboards, metrics and reports on system health, performance, utilisation, capacity and operational status.
• Support incident detection, root cause analysis, service restoration and post-incident improvement.

Security and compliance

• Understand the platform's security controls: SAST, DAST, SCA, container vulnerability scanning, and infrastructure and configuration compliance checks.
• Review and interpret security findings generated by these controls.
• Work with development teams to investigate, prioritise, track and remediate vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
• Guide software teams on platform security requirements, secure coding practices and remediation approaches.

Experimentation and prototyping

• Explore, prototype and develop full stack web applications and platform capabilities for proof-of-concept and process improvement work.
• Learn and apply frontend, backend, API and database technologies as platform and user needs evolve.
• Run lightweight experiments to improve platform usability, reporting, automation and developer experience.
• Support security accreditation, compliance assessments, audits and technical reviews.
• Maintain deployment documentation, operational procedures, security-related artefacts and technical records.

What you bring

• Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Security, Information Systems, Software Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS: networking, compute, storage, IAM, monitoring and observability, security services, and Amazon API Gateway.
• Strong hands-on experience with Amazon API Gateway, including API configuration, deployment, integration, routing, security controls and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with API Gateway Mapping Templates and Velocity Template Language (VTL).
• Demonstrated AWS competency. Relevant AWS certifications count as evidence.
• Experience with CI/CD platforms such as GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps or equivalent.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Understanding of Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) principles.
• Experience interpreting findings from SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning and compliance scanning tools, and working with developers to investigate, track and remediate them.
• Experience configuring and managing cloud monitoring, logging and alerting, and resolving operational issues in cloud-hosted applications and infrastructure.
• Familiarity with Amazon CloudWatch, CloudTrail, AWS Config, Amazon Managed Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana or equivalent.
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts: networking, compute, storage, IAM, monitoring and security controls.
• Scripting in Python, Bash or PowerShell.
• Ability to work with multiple development teams on onboarding, integration testing, troubleshooting and operationalisation.
