Configuration Management Engineer, Raffles Place, Singapore
A full-time, on-site Configuration Management Engineer role is open in Raffles Place, paying up to S$7,000 a month. Three years of hands-on experience is the requirement, which puts this at a solid mid-level spot for someone who's already automated real infrastructure, not just followed a tutorial once.
Getting past the first screen
A bachelor's degree is expected, typically in computer science, IT, or a related field, though what is actually checked is whether a candidate has genuinely worked with configuration management tools in production. Three years of practical experience with the languages and tools this team relies on is the bar, and hands-on exposure specifically to the tools in question is preferred over broad but shallow automation experience.
What the work looks like
- Write and maintain automation scripts and configuration code that keep infrastructure consistent
- Work with cross-functional teams on new deployment and infrastructure features
- Fix issues surfaced during testing before a configuration change goes into production
A server that was provisioned correctly last week but starts drifting out of its intended state after a manual patch is a familiar problem in this line of work. Catching that drift, figuring out where the manual change slipped in, and correcting it through automation rather than by hand is a core part of this role.
Skills required
The role centers on configuration management tools such as Ansible or Puppet, solid scripting ability, and genuine comfort building automation rather than just running existing playbooks. Naukri Mitra's listing treats these three as the technical foundation for this role, with everything else building outward from there.
Skills that help
None of these are required, but they strengthen an application: experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, exposure to CI/CD pipelines that tie automation into deployment workflows, and working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform. A candidate strong in Ansible or Puppet but new to these will still be considered.
Pay and benefits
The role pays up to S$7,000 monthly. Along with pay, the package includes health insurance, paid time off, and professional development support. As is standard for Singapore's job market, statutory CPF retirement contributions and annual leave are also part of the offer.
Working out of Raffles Place
Raffles Place sits at the center of Singapore's financial and business district, and configuration management roles here often support infrastructure for organizations with strict uptime and compliance requirements. Anyone comparing configuration management engineer job openings in Singapore against similar roles elsewhere in the region will find Raffles Place postings tend to come with tighter operational standards, given the concentration of financial institutions nearby. Someone checking configuration management engineer salaries in Singapore per month against this listing will find that S$7,000 is reasonable for three years of hands-on automation experience.
Applying
A resume should be specific about which configuration management tools were used, what infrastructure was managed, and any incidents caused or resolved due to configuration drift. General DevOps language without concrete tool names or outcomes tends to slow down an application at this stage. Interviews for this role typically include a practical exercise around writing or debugging a configuration script, so it's worth being ready to work through actual code rather than describe automation experience only in general terms.
