About Gen-e2TM

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Leveraging our 16 years expertise in digital transformation, our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with a strong collaboration between IA generative and our best Talents:

We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design powered by GitHub Copilot.

The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.

A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.

A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2TM, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

YOUR ROLE

At Palo IT, every engineer is AI-Native. As an  AI-Native   Engineer (Software),  you will design, build, and deliver production-grade applications while actively using AI and Generative AI as part of your daily engineering workflow.

You will work primarily with modern fullstack technologies for  frontend  and  backend , with exposure to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP). You will apply Palo IT's  Gen-E2 methodology  to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and build scalable, secure applications.

Key Responsibilities

Software Engineering & Development

Design, build, and maintain  full stack applications  using modern frameworks (ReactJS, NodeJS, Java, Python or equivalent)

Develop  scalable, reliable, and secure applications  following modern software engineering practices.

Implement  CI/CD automation pipelines  and understand DevOps workflows.

Ensure code quality through  testing, code reviews, and performance optimisation .

AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation)

Use  Generative AI coding tools  (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:

Code scaffolding and refactoring

Code generation and optimisation

Test-cases and documentation generation

Build applications through  AI-driven development practices , including:

AI-assisted debugging and troubleshooting

Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition

Automated documentation generation

Apply  prompt engineering best practices  for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.

Validate  GenAI output  (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).

Collaboration & Delivery

Collaborate with project teams, product managers, and designers to deliver high-quality solutions.

Contribute to  Gen-E2 practices , and internal playbooks.

Support solution discussions and technical discovery when required.

Must-Have Experience

3+ years  of hands-on software development experience. Preferred technologies include ReactJS for frontend development and NodeJS/Java for backend development.

Understanding of relational and non-relational databases.

Experience with  testing frameworks  and code quality practices.

Strong understanding of common programming patterns and principles.

Demonstrated use of  AI tools in day-to-day engineering work  (not just theoretical exposure).

AI-Native & Gen-E2 Skills (Required)

Hands-on experience with  GitHub Copilot or equivalent AI coding assistants .

Ability to build and evolve applications using  GenAI assistance .

Strong understanding of  prompt engineering  for technical use cases.

Experience  validating and controlling GenAI outputs  (hallucination handling, code review of AI-generated code).

Critical thinking to verify AI-generated code and solutions.

Good to Have

Experience with  cloud computing platforms  (Azure, AWS, GCP).

Experience with  solution architecture  principles.

Exposure to  AI/ML services and frameworks .

Native mobile development (iOS, Android) or hybrid mobile development (Flutter, React Native).

Certification in Claude AI (Anthropic) is a plus.

What Success Looks Like at Palo IT

You deliver high-quality, production-grade applications using AI-native practices.

You leverage AI tools effectively while maintaining code quality and best practices.

You contribute to Palo IT's  Gen-E2 maturity  across projects and teams.

You continuously learn and adapt to the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

We will be prioritizing applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require sponsorship of a visa.
