Government tech agency building citizen-facing platforms and data infrastructure
Open Government Products is a 51–200-person government engineering team based in Singapore, tasked with replacing legacy systems and automating public-sector workflows. The stack is modern and web-forward (TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS on AWS + PostgreSQL), with active adoption of NestJS signaling a shift toward backend microservices for scaled agency operations. The hiring mix is senior-heavy (14 of 21 roles are senior/lead level) and engineering-dominant (10 of 21), pointing to a team focused on complex system migrations and deep domain problem-solving rather than rapid product expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Lead
Open Government Products builds technology directly for Singapore's public sector and citizens. The organization operates as an in-house government team that identifies high-impact use cases, prototypes with real users, and ships products including FormSG (agency form builder replacing paper workflows), Data.gov.sg (public data repository with APIs), Parking.sg (mobile app for digital parking payments), and RedeemSG (digital voucher platform that has processed over $900 million in redemptions). Recent projects span healthcare platforms (Care360 for patient care planning), scam prevention (ScamShield for SMS/call filtering), and long-term care access simplification. The organization emphasizes open-source contribution, flat hierarchy, and bypassing bureaucratic friction to accelerate delivery. Pain points cluster around modernizing legacy traffic and healthcare systems, automating repetitive agency processes, and simplifying citizen access to services.
