Software engineer jobs in Singapore

Employment Pass (EP): Two stages: the age-based qualifying salary, then at least 40 points on COMPASS (salary against the sector, qualifications, and the employer’s nationality mix and local hiring). A job on the Shortage Occupation List earns bonus points but doesn’t lower the salary. First pass up to 2 years, renewals up to 3.

Not a regulated profession. Software developers with a computer science or IT degree, or 3+ years in the role, are on the COMPASS Shortage Occupation List, which adds Employment Pass points and can allow a 5-year pass.
