Manager, Software Development (Full Stack)

Role Purpose The Full Stack Software Development Manager designs, builds and ships production-grade applications for our clients – across the front end, the back end, and the cloud they run on. This role sits close to the work: you will translate business requirements into working software, own features end to end, and use our AI-assisted engineering workbench as part of everyday delivery, not as an experiment. What You'll Own 1. End-to-End Feature Delivery • Design, develop and deploy full-stack applications using modern frameworks and cloud-native architectures. • Take ownership of features or modules from requirement through to production release and post-deploy support. • Translate business and technical requirements into robust, maintainable, scalable solutions. 2. Engineering Quality & Craft • Apply best practices in code quality, automated testing, security and performance. • Participate in code review, uphold architectural standards, and keep technical debt visible and managed. • Produce clear technical and architectural documentation. 3. AI-Assisted Delivery • Use SimplifyNext's AI workbench across the lifecycle – story refinement, code generation, test generation, review support and documentation. • Work within our guardrails: human gates, drift checks, coverage contracts and CI-first verification. 4. Cloud, CI/CD & DevSecOps • Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments and release automation. • Embed security requirements from design – secure coding, access controls, vulnerability management. 5. Collaboration & Mentoring • Lead and work alongside business analysts, designers and client stakeholders in one delivery team, not siloed handoffs. • Review code and mentor junior developers; recommend improvements to tools, frameworks and approaches. What You'll Bring Must-Have • 7+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack software development, delivering to production. • Strong front-end experience with modern frameworks (e.g. React, TypeScript, modern JavaScript). • Solid back-end development experience (e.g. Node.js, Java/Kotlin, Python, .NET, Go). • Experience designing and consuming APIs, and working with relational and/or NoSQL databases. • Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP). • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control and modern development workflows. • Strong communication skills and the ability to work in cross-functional, client-facing teams. • Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline. Good-to-Have • Containerisation and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes). • Hands-on use of AI coding assistants or agentic development workflows in a professional setting. • Experience delivering into the Singapore Public Sector or large regulated enterprises. • Familiarity with observability and telemetry tooling. • Interest in growing towards a technical lead or architect track. This role is not a fit if: • You want to specialise narrowly on one layer of the stack and stay there. • You see testing, documentation and code review as someone else’s job. • You would rather build prototypes than support what you ship in production. • You are uncomfortable working directly with clients and business stakeholders. • You see AI-assisted engineering as a threat rather than part of the toolkit.
