Software Developer

About the Role

A Senior Full Stack Developer contract opportunity is available with an organisation undergoing significant modernisation of its systems. You’ll play a key role in replacing and rebuilding a suite of legacy applications that are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, update, and secure.

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on development using Node.js and TypeScript. You’ll work across responsive, user-centric applications that support critical business and workforce systems, with most projects involving smaller, function-specific web applications. An example includes developing a secure app to capture and integrate payment details.

You’ll be the dedicated developer in a friendly team of eight (currently mostly application support staff), reporting to the Workforce System Manager and collaborating closely with the Senior Developer. The work will directly improve user experience by replacing clunky, outdated systems with secure, modern solutions, while also helping establish stronger development culture within the team.

You Should Have

• 10+ years of commercial software development experience
• Strong skills with Node.js and TypeScript
• Ability to work autonomously and deliver outcomes with minimal supervision
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to follow through on a plan

Nice to Have

• Background in DevOps and CI/CD
• Experience applying UX/UI best practices and accessibility standards
• Skills in documentation and knowledge transfer

Responsibilities

• Development, implementation, and enhancement of responsive, user-centric applications

• Ensuring upgrades, patches, and ongoing health of supported systems
• Supporting knowledge transfer and maintaining effective documentation

The Benefits

• Paying up to $800 per day (inclusive of super)
• Contract until December, with a high likelihood of a 6-month extension (12+ months of pipeline work)
• Flexible hybrid working — three days in-office, two days from home (Mondays and Tuesdays in-office with the team)
• Collaborative and supportive culture with autonomy to deliver meaningful improvements
• Opportunity to shape development practices and culture within the team
