Role Purpose

The successful candidate will split their time between providing high-touch technical support for our 60-person Singapore office and collaborating with the Group Headquarters to implement and maintain systems and infrastructure.

Part 2: System & Cloud Engineering (80%)

• HQ Collaboration: Act as the local execution arm for the Group HQ Cloud Team, helping deploy and manage systems across the region.

• Cloud Administration: Assist in the administration of cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud), including resource monitoring and configuration.

• Endpoint & Security Management:

  • Ensure all endpoints are compliant with Group Policy and joined to the AD.

  • Coordinate with HQ on security incident response and threat mitigation.

• Server & Infrastructure Maintenance:

  • Perform regular server updates, patching, and performance tuning.

  • Manage virtual machines (VMs) and cloud storage solutions as directed by HQ.

• Compliance Audit: Physically and digitally audit workstations to ensure no unauthorized software/hardware is present.

Job Requirements

• Education: Diploma in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field. Graduates from Singaporean Polytechnics/Institutions are highly preferred.
