Join us to advance our mission and shape your future with us today!      Learn more about GovTech at tech.gov.sg.     Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) is a key platform within Singapore Government Technology Stacks that enables government agencies to build and operate digital services on commercial cloud. The GCC Engineering team develops platform automations, landing zones, and security tooling across AWS, Azure, and GCP — serving thousands of government systems and thousands of public officers. Security at GCC is not a side function — it's core to the platform's value proposition. Government agencies trust GCC to be secure by default. You are the single named owner of security outcomes across all engineering teams in GCC. You define how security works — the standards, processes, escalation paths, and technical approaches — and drive adoption through influence, not authority. You operate through a Security Champions network: persistent, named engineers in each product team who own security judgment locally, coordinated by you. Your accountability is whether GCC is actually secure — measured through process health, incident response quality, and security posture metrics you define. This role is part of the organisation's domain leadership structure — you join alongside Engineering Managers as a peer, not as a report to any EM. The Security domain is being stood up fresh. The previous model (centralised security team gatekeeping all decisions) has been retired. You inherit a Champions network in early stages, documented runbooks, and interim coverage from a senior security advisor. Your job is to take it from "interim bridge" to "sustainable, scalable security function." The domain scope will evolve. Today it centres on the areas listed above — but we expect the role to grow into adjacent areas (AI security, detection engineering) as the organisation's needs develop. Adaptability and willingness to define your own frontier matters more than deep expertise in every area on day one.   [What you will be working on]   Security Architecture & Posture Own the organisation's security posture across all product teams and cloud environments Architect security frameworks that integrate into engineering workflows without creating bottlenecks Design and evolve threat modelling methodologies adapted to the organisation's multi-cloud, multi-tenant context Define escalation paths, severity frameworks, and incident response playbooks Own the relationship with GCSOC, shaping how external security signals translate into internal action Drive security tooling strategy — selecting, configuring, and setting alert thresholds that distinguish signal from noise Standards & Process Design Define security standards, runbooks, and compliance approaches that teams can self-serve against Design the Security Champions model: training curriculum, forum cadence, escalation criteria, and what "good" looks like for a champion Replace gatekeeping with enablement — move from "security reviews everything" to "teams self-certify against clear criteria, you spot-check and c
