AI is changing how tech teams build, ship, and run products, which means the jobs themselves are shifting fast. While Software Engineering is still at the core, teams are actively hiring people for specialized roles like Forward Deployed Engineers, AI Governance Analysts, AI Security Analysts, and Developer Relations professionals. These positions sit right at the intersection of technology, business, and human users, but what do they actually do on a random Tuesday? Join us for this Tech Talk, a part of SGInnovate's Let's Tech It series, where we will bring together practitioners across these four areas for a candid, no-BS look into their day-to-day work, the skills that matter, how they landed their roles, and what you should know if you want to follow a similar path. This session is co-hosted by SGInnovate, Techies Community and supported by the SkillsFuture Festival. The Format: Human Library We are skipping the usual corporate lectures. After a quick panel and open Q&A, we are jumping straight into a Human Library. Each speaker hosts their own table focused on their career path. You can drop by any table, ask direct questions, get unfiltered career advice, and hear what the job is really like without the marketing fluff. Volunteers will be on hand to help keep conversations flowing so everyone gets time with the speakers. What We Are Covering - Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE): Getting hands-on with enterprise AI rollouts, solving direct customer engineering problems, and consulting in the field. - Developer Relations (DevRel): Building developer communities, advocating for technical users, and turning developer feedback into real product features. - AI Security Analyst: Red teaming, hunting model vulnerabilities, assessing risk, and keeping AI deployments secure. - AI Governance Analyst: Navigating real-world compliance, setting up practical frameworks, and making sure AI systems are built responsibly. Who Should Show Up - Software Engineers looking to pivot or level up - Technical Product Managers & AI Builders - Students & Early Career Professionals - Career Switchers exploring technical paths outside pure code - Anyone looking to build genuine connections in the local tech ecosystem Agenda - 6:30 PM – 7:00 PM | Registration & Warm-up Networking - 7:00 PM – 7:10 PM | Welcome & Opening by Techies - 7:10 PM – 7:55 PM | Panel Discussion: Real Career Paths & Current Hiring Trends - 7:55 PM – 8:10 PM | Closing Remarks & What's Next - 8:10 PM – 9:00 PM | Human Library Session & Open Networking (Small group table discussions) --- 👋 More About Techies Techies is a community where engineers come together to get geeky, challenge their craft, and learn from one another, without the fluff. They've also wrapped Season 1 of Do You Even Build, a podcast for devs, by devs, where community contributors weigh in on tech news and what it means for how we actually build.
