AI Engineer, Dev Ops

AI Singapore (AISG) is a national AI programme launched by the National Research Foundation (NRF), Singapore, to build and anchor deep national capabilities in AI. AISG is supported through a government-wide partnership including the NRF, Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG). We bring together research institutions and the vibrant ecosystem of AI start-ups and companies to support impactful research, develop talent, and power Singapore's AI efforts.

We're looking for an AI Engineer, Dev Ops to join the Data Platform team within AI Products  role is to keep the Data Platform and the central data management infrastructure that sits beneath it running reliably, securely, and efficiently. You'll own the day-to-day operations of cloud infrastructure across GCP and AWS, the CI/CD and observability stack that the engineering team relies on, and the data pipelines, storage layers, and access controls that move data through the platform.

You'll also bring strong AI fluency to the role: we expect the engineer to have knowledge in using AI tools deliberately for ops work such as incident triage, runbook generation, log analysis, IaC drafting, and automation and to help the team raise its operational bar by codifying those practices.

This position will be hosted at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under VP (Artificial Intelligence & Digital Economy)’s office and we welcome you to join our community.

• Own day-to-day operations of the Data Platform across GCP and AWS which includes environment health, capacity, performance, cost, security posture and define and uphold SLOs, alerting policies, and on‑call practices.
• Lead incident response: triage, mitigate, run blameless post‑mortems, and drive preventive actions through to completion.

• Operate the central data management infrastructure which includes data pipelines, storage layers, catalogues, access control, and lineage tooling and partnering with engineering team on reliability, throughput, cost, and data quality.
• Implement and maintain backup, retention, disaster recovery, and data residency controls aligned to programme and funder requirements.

• Manage infrastructure‑as‑code (e.g. Terraform) across GCP and AWS, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, container build/registry workflows, and deployment automation so teams can ship safely and frequently.
• Strengthen observability across the stack using logs, metrics, traces, dashboards and reduce toil by automating repetitive operational tasks.

• Use AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot, Cursor) deliberately in your ops workflow for incident triage, log and metric analysis, runbook drafting, IaC generation and review, and on‑call support and codify good patterns for the team.
• Build lightweight internal tooling that leverages AI to reduce operational load (e.g. summarising incidents, suggesting remediations, generating change reports), and contribute to security, compliance, and access reviews (secrets management, IAM hygiene, vulnerability patching, audit‑readiness).

You should be a hands‑on Dev Ops engineer who is comfortable operating cloud infrastructure end‑to‑end, who understands data engineering well enough to keep central data systems healthy, and who actively uses AI tools to make ops work faster and more reliable.

• A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent.
• At least 3–5 years of Dev Ops, SRE, or platform engineering experience, with…
