Drive strategic planning, governance, and stakeholder management by developing and implementing a roadmap for AI and GenAI initiatives, establishing governance frameworks and policies, monitoring compliance, and engaging with business leaders, IT teams, and other stakeholders to promote the benefits of AI technologies.
The Senior AI Harness Engineer joins the organisation’s AI development team to define and build the foundational engineering capabilities supporting AI models and agents at enterprise scale. This role is essential for enabling AI systems to operate securely, reliably, and efficiently across various domains within the organisation.
Design, build and operate production-grade GenAI systems in Python: agents and tool use (MCP, function calling), RAG backends, document parsing pipelines, APIs and containerised services on Azure.
Own the AI-Ready Data & Harness Engineering strategy, technical roadmap and capability architecture for Singtel SG, aligned to the AIDA 2.0 stack and Chief AIDA Officer agenda.
Project backgroundMessenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutics, including vaccines, represent a transformative class of drugs for infectious diseases and cancer immunotherapy. Their programmable nature allows rapid adaptation to evolving pathogens and personalized medicine, but effective design of mRNA molecules remains a key bottleneck. Current development relies on trial-and-error methods, leading to long timelines, high costs, and suboptimal outcomes.This project aims to develop an agent-based generative AI system to design both linear and circular mRNA molecules. By unifying the design process into a data-driven, adaptive pipeline, the system will optimize vaccine stability, minimize unwanted immune responses, and accelerate early-stage research and development from months to hours. The outcome will be a robust, scalable platform for creating effective mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases, cancer, and beyond.
Support in building and improving an evaluation algorithm that learns from past human decisions to assess the quality of new AI suggestions and identify when human review is required.
