SGX Group Hiring! Full Time SA-AVP-VP - Software Engineer in - Ricebowl

Job description:

BUILD MARKETS. SHAPE ECONOMIES.

At SGX Group, we create markets. We turn ideas into products and expand access to new opportunities. We are building the future of the exchange in-house: from architecture and platforms to the critical systems that power markets. The biggest decisions are still open to people who join us now.

  The opportunity

SGX is hiring product-minded engineers to take initiatives from ambiguous problem to running production system. You'll partner with stakeholders to shape what gets built, prototype rapidly to validate direction, and harden the result into systems we operate with confidence. This is a generalist role for engineers who like build and can orchestrate AI agents across the SDLC.

We operate in a regulated capital-markets environment, so the bar for quality, security, and operational rigour is high.

  The Software Engineering team

Software Engineering builds, runs and evolves the applications and platforms behind SGX Group's business and market infrastructure.

The team works closely with product, architecture, platform, security and delivery colleagues to turn business priorities into secure, resilient and scalable services. Its remit spans the full engineering lifecycle, from technical design and delivery through to production ownership and continuous improvement.

Our next phase is about strengthening engineering ownership, modernising platforms and practices and building consistency across teams without flattening the different needs of each business domain.

  What you will do

• Own initiatives end-to-end: clarify and extend requirements with stakeholders, propose what to build, and see it through release and operation
• Move from idea to working prototype in days, then evolve prototypes into production systems that handle edge cases, scale, and adversarial conditions
• Apply AI agentically across the full SDLC, and contribute back to our internal agentic ecosystem: the workflows and tools the rest of the team relies on
• Define release readiness: test strategy, rollout plans, observability, runbooks, and treat security, maintainability, and documentation as first-class concerns
• Design and integrate distributed systems where they matter: messaging (e.g. Kafka), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), performance-sensitive protocols (e.g. Aeron, gRPC, Protobuf), etc

  What we are looking for

Essentials

• 5+ years of professional software engineering, with a clear track record of taking work from idea to production and owning it there
• AI-native ways of working: real experience orchestrating coding agents and composing agentic workflows across specification, build, test, deploy, and operation
• Fluency in at least two modern languages (e.g. Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, Python, Rust) and willingness to learn whatever a problem demands
• Solid foundations in distributed systems, APIs, and messaging, with judgement about when sophistication is warranted
• Production mindset across testing, observability, security, and CI/CD
• Product instinct: comfortable shaping scope rather than waiting for a complete spec
• Comfort in complex, regulated environments

 What may set you apart

• Familiarity with the FIX protocol or capital-markets domain
• Experience building internal developer tools, agent frameworks, or platform tooling
• Front-end experience to support end-to-end prototyping

  Why this role matters

• You will work on technology that underpins critical market infrastructure, where engineering decisions have direct consequences for the business, its customers and the markets it serves. Not many engineering roles carry that weight.
• The mandate is real. You will shape how platforms are engineered, owned and evolved, and what software engineering becomes at SGX Group. The work is demanding and the organisation is still changing, which is exactly where the opportunity sits. There are not many chances in a career to build something that outlasts you.
