  • Integrate software components and third-party programs
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade existing software
  • Investigate issues, identify root causes, and propose sustainable fixes
  • Proactively problem-solve and independently find solutions without requiring close direction
  • Create technical documentation for reference and reporting
  • Participate in code or document reviews and offer feedback to others

  • Proven experience as a Software Engineer, Software Developer, or similar role
  • Familiarity with Agile and/or SAFe development methodologies

  • Ability to learn new languages and technologies
  • Independent problem-solving skills and the ability to find answers with minimal supervision
  • Excellent communication skills
  • NV1 Security clearance (with ability to upgrade to NV2 if required)

Desirable

  • BSc/BA in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field and commensurate certifications with relevant professional body
  • Previous Defence or government experience working within an IT-related field.
  • Ability to work within a team environment, with potential to take on more responsibility as the work grows.

  • A workplace culture certified as a Great Place To Work (Aus, India, UK & US)
  • Flexible working conditions
  • Competitive salary (including annual reviews)
  • Paid Parental leave
  • Paid Reservist leave
  • Income protection
  • Corporate rewards
