Our role:

We are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team in Sydney. The Senior Software Engineer is a key member of the product development team, responsible for designing, developing, and delivering high-quality software products that meet customer needs.

  • Own operational excellence through monitoring, system observability, error management, documentation, and user analytics.
  • Contribute to team and company culture through thought leadership, improving team practices, and involvement in new initiatives.
  • Support fellow engineers through mentorship, feedback, code reviews, and improvement of internal tools and processes.
  • Proactively learn new technologies, techniques and methods that may benefit the team, customers, or product and share these with others in the business. 
Your skills, experience and beyond:
  • Demonstrated commercial experience in building SaaS and contemporary web applications.
  • Hands-on experience in Advanced Java development such as Spring Boot.
  • Experience with frontend frameworks, particularly ReactJS.
  • Good understanding of databases and RESTful web services.
  • Solid experience with automated testing methodologies
  • Exposure to contemporary cloud services, such as infrastructure (AWS), container orchestration, IaC, CI/CD, tooling, and monitoring.
Our benefits:
  • Hybrid work arrangements to support work-life balance.
  • Access to EAP for confidential counselling.
  • Extensive learning resources to develop your skills.
  • Regular social events to promote team bonding.
  • We are recognized as an endorsed employer for women. Learn more about our benefits on WORK180.

If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.

At Objective, we recognise and celebrate our diverse team as pivotal to our strong employee engagement and our high-performing culture, underpinned by Our Values.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on any protected characteristics or on any other basis prohibited by applicable laws in the regions where we operate.
