AI Software Engineer

Reimagine the Future of Software Engineering at OCBC

Why Join
This is not a traditional software engineering role. You'll be joining an organization that is actively transforming how software is built through AI.

The Group Wealth Engineering team sits at the intersection of a rapidly growing wealth management business and one of the most ambitious AI-enabled engineering transformations in the banking industry.

As an AI Software Engineer within Group Wealth Engineering, you will help redefine how hundreds of engineers design, build, test, deploy, and operate software. You will work on cutting-edge agentic AI solutions, internal developer platforms, and AI-powered engineering workflows that directly influence how software is delivered across the organization.

If you are passionate about combining software engineering excellence with AI innovation, this is an opportunity to create impact at scale while shaping the future of engineering within OCBC.

What Success Looks Like

You are a hands-on engineer, builder, and innovator who thrives on solving complex engineering challenges.

You will architect and develop the platforms, agents, and automated workflows that embed AI into our software delivery lifecycle. Your work will help engineering teams move faster, improve software quality, and unlock new ways of working through AI.

Beyond platform engineering, you will also contribute directly to strategic business and technology initiatives across Group Wealth Engineering, applying your expertise where it can create the greatest impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Build AI-Powered Engineering Platforms: Design and develop internal developer platforms, including AI gateways, agent orchestration frameworks, retrieval systems, and reusable engineering services that enable product teams to safely and effectively leverage AI.

• Develop Agentic Engineering Workflows: Design and implement intelligent workflows that automate software development activities, including code generation, code reviews, testing, vulnerability remediation, documentation, and deployment processes.

• Transform the Software Delivery Lifecycle: Integrate AI capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and engineering toolchains to improve developer productivity, software quality, operational resilience, and delivery velocity.

• Engineer Enterprise Knowledge Systems: Build and maintain knowledge platforms spanning codebases, architecture repositories, documentation, operational runbooks, and post-mortems to power context-aware AI agents and workflows.

• Drive AI Adoption Across Engineering: Partner with engineering teams to define best practices, reference architectures, and golden paths that accelerate safe and effective adoption of AI technologies.

• Lead by Example: Contribute as a senior individual contributor on critical business initiatives and strategic technology programs across Group Wealth Engineering when required.

• Measure and Optimize Outcomes: Define and track engineering productivity, quality, adoption, and business-impact metrics, continuously improving the effectiveness of AI-enabled software delivery
