[About the Team]
The Ministry of Education is building AI products and shared platform capabilities that can improve how students learn, how teachers work, and how HQ teams run complex operational workflows.
The AI Platform & Capability Programme sits at the centre of this work. We build and support AI-native products such as learning assistants, marking tools, procurement agents, multimodal prototypes, and the shared evaluation, observability, model-access, and governance capabilities needed to scale them responsibly.
We are hiring software engineers who can take ambiguous problems from brief to production. This is not a pure research role and not a demo-building role. The work is to build reliable, maintainable, policy-sensitive AI systems that can survive real users, real operational constraints, and public-sector trust requirements.
AI will support how we build. Engineers still own the design, judgement, quality, and consequences of what ships.
We prefer simple, durable engineering choices over novelty for its own sake. The stack may vary by product, but the principles do not: clear architecture, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, secure-by-design delivery, and systems that are easy to reason about after launch.
The team’s operating model is product-led and platform-amplified. Product squads prove value in real education or HQ workflows; shared platform capabilities make those products observable, testable, governable, and reusable across MOE. Engineers may work inside a product squad, on the shared AI platform, or in a forward-deployed model where they help a vertical team build AI capability before bringing reusable patterns back to the centre
