Company's IT Job Opportunities, Work Culture and Environment
Open Government Products currently offers summer internships in Software Engineering.
End-to-End Ownership: Engineers at OGP are involved in everything from ideation, requirements gathering and implementation to QA, releasing, gathering feedback, monitoring, analyzing key metrics and iteration, maintenance (rolling out fixes and improvements), and refactoring. Engineers here often play cross-functional roles e.g. Wearing a product manager's hat and working in tandem with their designer and product manager colleagues to determine product roadmap and execution. In cases where the codebase is open-source, such as FormSG, they may also handle and review code contributions from members of the public.
Move Fast: At OGP, teams believe in quick ideation and implementation. Here engineering teams are small and self-organized. We avoid bureaucratic processes to build and deliver impactful products faster. This has allowed us to rapidly respond to challenges of national significance at the behest of the Singapore Government, most notably taking two weeks to build the prototype for "Appointments for COVID-19 Vaccinations". We favour decision velocity over accuracy. Engineers here correct course over iterations through feedback and break down the work into smaller chunks - Design, Develop, Test, Repeat.
Open Communication: The "Open" in Open Government Products refers not only to our transparent engagements with the public but also to how we interact with one another in the workplace. This is not only done through the way we talk about incidents and setbacks through regular team syncs and sharing but also through actively encouraging open internal discussion. The transparency also goes as far as fully disclosing the salary point tied to each level for each role in OGP's career ladders.
