Where Our Graduates Work

Real Careers. Real Impact.

  • Foundational Digital Infrastructure Singapore’s proposed Digital Infrastructure Bill identifies cloud computing and data centre services as foundational to the digital economy, supporting everyday services such as banking, e-commerce and ride-hailing. Cloud Infrastructure Engineers help maintain the platforms that keep these services accessible and dependable.
  • Greater Focus on Security and Resilience Under Singapore’s proposed 2026 regulatory framework, major cloud and data centre providers would be required to strengthen security, business continuity and disaster recovery, while reporting serious incidents and service disruptions. This increases the need for engineers who can operate resilient infrastructure and restore services quickly when problems occur.
  • Future Ready Singapore continues to expand its cloud and data centre capabilities while raising expectations for sustainability and operational efficiency. A new 20-megawatt data centre is scheduled to begin service in 2026, with renewable-energy coverage and research into tropical data centre innovation. Cloud Infrastructure Engineers will be essential to operating this growing infrastructure securely and efficiently.
