Available roles span entry-level positions for cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data analytics.

The job portal was announced by Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How on Apr 10 at an inaugural one-day AI conference held by industry group Singapore Computer Society at Mandarin Oriental hotel.
