Sovereign wealth fund modernizing infrastructure and risk systems at scale
GIC manages Singapore's foreign reserves across 40+ countries with a 1,000+ person organization anchored in finance and engineering talent. The tech stack reveals a firm mid-migration: replacing Oracle and SQL Server with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kafka, Snowflake, Databricks), adopting observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Splunk), and building ML/AI capability (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn). Active hiring in finance, data, and engineering leadership—combined with projects around portfolio analytics, risk modeling, and enterprise data infrastructure—suggests a push to automate investment decision support and operational risk management.
