The Government Technology Agency, known as GovTech, is the statutory board that builds and runs Singapore's public digital infrastructure, formed in 2016 out of the country's earlier government IT organisations. It develops citizen-facing services in house rather than outsourcing them, most notably Singpass, the national digital identity used by almost every adult in the country for banking, government and private transactions. GovTech also runs the Government Commercial Cloud, the LifeSG and OneService applications, national cybersecurity engineering for public systems, and the AI platforms used across ministries.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

785 of the 787 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most backend developers?

TikTok (72), ByteDance (67), Government Technology Agency (56), Shopee (34), Google (25).

Which roles count as backend developer jobs?

Every role whose work is the server side of software - backend, API, platform and full stack developers, staff engineers and technical leads - at any employer. A role is filed under a language when its title names one (Java, Python, .NET, Go, Node.js, PHP, C++, Ruby, Rust); a "Software Engineer" that names none is a backend engineer's.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
