What will you do?

Judiciary is hiring a Software Engineer to develop and support our portfolio of software products. The role suits an engineer who thinks rigorously about quality, takes ownership end-to-end, and can get onboard with how we build software here: AI supports our work — we own every decision.

• We deliberately favour simple, boring technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, containers, and minimal JavaScript dependencies.
• We're optimising for systems that are easy to reason about, easy to operate, and still maintainable years from now. We prefer to "make impossible states impossible" rather than rely on continued diligence.
• AI supports our work — we own every decision. The thinking, the design, the judgement, the call on whether something is right: that comes from the engineer. The execution can lean on AI as far as it's useful. We don't outsource decisions to a model, and we don't avoid AI out of purism either. You own what ships.
• We're direct with each other. Feedback is candid, recognition is earned.
• Design, build, and support software products that underpin Judiciary's work

Requirements

• What are we looking for?

• Take problems from ambiguous brief through to production — including testing, deployment, monitoring, and incident response

• Participate in design discussions and code reviews; advocate clearly for technical positions and update your view when the evidence warrants it

• Identify improvements to systems, tooling, and ways of working — and drive them through

• Sharp engineering taste and sound judgement — we care about this more than years of experience with any particular popular stack

• Strong fundamentals: automated testing, version control, CI/CD, observability, and secure-by-design thinking

• Comfort with (or genuine appetite for) Go, PostgreSQL, and container-based deployment; a preference for boring, durable technology choices

• Ability to discuss and defend technical solutions robustly while remaining genuinely open to being persuaded

• A problem-solving orientation — you go after root causes, not symptoms

• High initiative: you spot what needs doing and get on with it without waiting to be told

• Effective collaboration with engineers and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits

• What do we offer in return?

• Competitive Compensation: Market competitive salary and variable performance bonus aligned to your skills, impact, and contribution.

• Benefits: Outpatient medical, specialist medical coverage and generous customisable flexi benefits, or flexi allowance; life and health insurance, thoughtful perks like special occasions “red packet” and CNY goodies, etc.

• Employee Wellness: Support for your physical, mental, and overall well-being through year-round initiatives.

• Growth & Development: Learning programmes, certification support, and a dedicated staff development budget. (We are a “SHRI 2025 Gold winner” in “Learning & Development; Coaching & Mentoring”)

• Career Progression: Structured career pathways that enable you to grow along a technical/domain expert track or a leadership track.

• Competency Framework: A structured and practical framework to support you to develop, perform, and succeed.

• Flexible Work Arrangement: Staff may choose to work flexi-place, flexi-time, and flexi-load based on existing framework

• Why you'll love working with us?

• If you are looking for opportunities to collaborate with leading industry experts and be surrounded by highly motivated and talented peers, we welcome you to join us. We provide all employees with equal opportunities to grow and develop with us. We believe your success is our success.
