About Gen-e2TM
While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Leveraging our 16 years expertise in digital transformation, our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between IA generative and our best Talents:

• We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design powered by GitHub Copilot.
• The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
• A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
• A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2TM, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

YOUR ROLE

At Palo IT, every engineer is AI-Native. As an AI-Native Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and deliver production-grade applications while actively using AI and Generative AI as part of your daily engineering workflow.

You will work primarily with modern fullstack technologies for frontend and backend, with exposure to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP). You will apply Palo IT's Gen-E2 methodology to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and build scalable, secure applications.

Key Responsibilities

Software Engineering & Development

• Design, build, and maintain full stack applications using modern frameworks (ReactJS, NodeJS, Java, Python or equivalent)
• Develop scalable, reliable, and secure applications following modern software engineering practices.
• Implement CI/CD automation pipelines and understand DevOps workflows.
• Ensure code quality through testing, code reviews, and performance optimisation.

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation)

• Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:
• Code scaffolding and refactoring
• Code generation and optimisation
• Test-cases and documentation generation
• Build applications through AI-driven development practices, including:
• AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting
• Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition
• Automated documentation generation
• Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.
• Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).

Collaboration & Delivery

• Collaborate with project teams, product managers, and designers to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Contribute to Gen-E2 practices, and internal playbooks.
• Support solution discussions and technical discovery when required.

Must-Have Experience

• 3+ years of hands-on software development experience. Preferred technologies include ReactJS for frontend development and NodeJS/Java for backend development.
• Understanding of relational and non-relational databases.
• Experience with testing frameworks and code quality practices.
• Strong understanding of common programming patterns and principles.
• Demonstrated use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering work (not just theoretical exposure).

AI-Native & Gen-E2 Skills (Required)

• Hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot or equivalent AI coding assistants.
• Ability to build and evolve applications using GenAI assistance.
• Strong understanding of prompt engineering for technical use cases.
• Experience validating and controlling GenAI outputs (hallucination handling, code review of AI-generated code).
• Critical thinking to verify AI-generated code and solutions.

Good to Have

• Experience with cloud computing platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Experience with solution architecture principles.
• Exposure to AI/ML services and frameworks.
• Native mobile development (iOS, Android) or hybrid mobile development (Flutter, React Native).
• Certification in Claude AI (Anthropic) is a plus.

What Success Looks Like at Palo IT

• You deliver high-quality, production-grade applications using AI-native practices.
• You leverage AI tools effectively while maintaining code quality and best practices.
• You contribute to Palo IT's Gen-E2 maturity across projects and teams.
• You continuously learn and adapt to the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

We will be prioritizing applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require sponsorship of a visa.
