Full Stack Engineer (Full Stack / Cloud / Microservices)

Job brief

We are recruiting on behalf of our client for an experienced Full Stack Engineer to lead technical delivery across the full engineering lifecycle — from discovery and architecture through development, deployment, and production operations.

This is a consultancy and client-facing role combining hands-on engineering, technical leadership, architecture, and coaching. You will set engineering standards, de-risk technical decisions through prototypes and spikes, and build lasting engineering capability within client teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery and architecture for greenfield development and legacy modernisation
• Design solutions using microservices, event-driven, API-first, and strangler architecture patterns
• Build production-quality applications with strong automated test coverage
• Champion engineering practices including TDD, code reviews, pair programming, refactoring, and technical debt management
• Design API contracts, integration patterns, and scalable application architectures
• Develop POCs and technical spikes to validate and de-risk architecture decisions
• Deploy applications on modern cloud platforms using CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
• Establish monitoring, observability, and production-readiness practices
• Identify technical risks and clearly communicate architecture decisions and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Coach client engineers through pairing, workshops, mentorship, and continuous feedback
• Facilitate architecture reviews, technical discovery sessions, mob programming, and engineering retrospectives

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience across architecture, development, testing, deployment, and production operations
• Experience delivering both greenfield and legacy modernisation projects
• Strong understanding of microservices, APIs, integration patterns, and modern software architecture
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code, automated testing, and observability
• Strong understanding of software security and OWASP best practices
• Experience coaching or mentoring engineers through pairing, workshops, or technical leadership
• Comfortable working across different programming languages, frameworks, and technology stacks
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder communication skills, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical audiences
• Consultancy or professional services experience is advantageous
• Familiarity with SHIP-HATS, SG Tech Stack, Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) or Singapore Government projects is advantageous
