Career Opportunities.

We offer opportunities across technology, consulting, research, operations, and support functions. Roles evolve as Synnect grows, and individuals are encouraged to shape their own paths through capability, interest, and performance.
Technology & Engineering
This area focuses on designing, building, and integrating robust digital systems across industries. Teams work across application development, platform engineering, systems integration, and solution architecture for mission critical environments. Engineers are expected to think beyond code, considering system context, performance, security, and long term maintainability. Work often spans multiple platforms and delivery teams, providing broad technical exposure and sustained engineering growth.
Data, AI & Intelligence
This domain focuses on transforming data into insight and decision intelligence that supports real world outcomes. Teams work on data engineering, analytics, machine learning, and applied artificial intelligence with strong emphasis on context, explainability, and responsible use. Professionals contribute to intelligence systems that strengthen governance, optimise operations, and improve service delivery at scale. The work balances innovation with rigour, ensuring models remain trustworthy.
Cloud & Infrastructure
This area supports the design and operation of scalable, secure, and resilient digital infrastructure across environments. Teams work across cloud architecture, hybrid platforms, infrastructure automation, monitoring, and operational reliability functions. Professionals collaborate with platform and security specialists to ensure environments are compliant, performant, and sustainable. The focus is on infrastructure as a strategic enabler that supports continuity, agility, and service quality.
Consulting & Transformation
This area bridges organisational strategy, technology implementation, and sustained operational change. Teams work with clients to understand complex challenges, define transformation roadmaps, and guide digital and institutional evolution programmes. Professionals translate abstract objectives into practical systems, processes, and measurable outcomes across environments. The work requires analytical thinking, strong communication and stakeholder context.
Research & Innovation
This area focuses on exploring emerging technologies, new system models, and future facing digital solutions. Teams conduct applied research, experimentation, and prototyping with a clear pathway toward real world deployment. Professionals collaborate closely with engineers, domain specialists, and partners to ensure relevance and feasibility at scale. The emphasis is on innovation that can be operationalised, scaled responsibly, and sustained over time.
Operations & Support
This area ensures the organisation operates efficiently, responsibly, and sustainably at scale. Teams support programme delivery, governance, finance, compliance, people operations, and internal systems functions. Professionals provide structure, continuity, and oversight that enable delivery teams to perform effectively. The focus is on building strong operational foundations that support long term institutional growth.

Early Careers & Graduate Opportunities

Developing future talent is central to Synnect’s long-term vision. Our early careers programmes focus on foundational skills, practical exposure, and mentorship within real delivery environments. Graduates and early-career professionals are given the opportunity to learn across platforms and industries while contributing meaningfully to active programmes.

LEARNING & GROWTH.

Learning at Synnect is embedded into how we work. We support continuous development through structured learning, mentorship, and exposure to complex systems and projects. Our learning philosophy is aligned with the same principles we apply to our platforms: integrity, relevance, and long-term value.

Diversity, Inclusion & Responsibility

Synnect is committed to building teams that reflect the societies we serve. We believe diversity of background, thought, and experience strengthens outcomes and fosters innovation. Inclusion at Synnect is not a policy — it is a responsibility shared across the organisation.

If you are looking to build a career that combines technical depth, responsibility, and long-term impact, we invite you to explore opportunities at Synnect.
