Fullstack Software Engineer

Key Role and Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, deploy and maintain secure, scalable and high-performing full stack applications and automation solutions to support systematic second-line monitoring and assessment of risk controls.
• Translate ICT security, cybersecurity, governance and internal control requirements into configurable rules, workflows and automated checks to identify compliance gaps, support timely escalation and facilitate remediation tracking, while retaining appropriate human review for exceptions and assurance conclusions.
• Take ownership of end-to-end application development, integrating responsive and accessible user interfaces, backend services, databases, cloud infrastructure and workflow functions for compliance assessment, evidence review and exception management.
• Develop dashboards and management reports that provide clear visibility of compliance status, identified gaps, remediation progress, risk trends and supporting evidence.
• Establish secure software engineering practices across all systems, including authentication, authorisation, API and frontend security, encryption, secrets management, audit logging, code review, automated testing, vulnerability management and secure deployment.
• Explore and implement Artificial Intelligence-assisted capabilities, where appropriate, to analyse documents and evidence, identify potential control gaps and improve the efficiency and consistency of second-line checks, with appropriate human oversight.
• Work closely with relevant technical, cybersecurity and system stakeholders to gather requirements, validate automated checks and continuously improve solution accuracy, scalability and usability.
