Senior Java Engineer | API & Integration (Martech / Digital Platforms) | Gold Coast |

$160K Base + Super + Bonus | Hybrid Working

The Company

We are partnering with a leading Australian financial services organisation within its Marketing & Communications technology domain, focused on delivering highly scalable, secure, and API-first digital capabilities across a complex enterprise ecosystem. The team sits at the intersection of marketing technology and enterprise engineering, supporting critical customer engagement platforms and modern integration services.

This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking engineering environment that is heavily invested in event-driven architecture, microservices, and modern cloud-native delivery.

You'll be working alongside experienced engineers, architects, and product teams to shape how digital integration is designed and delivered at scale.

Role Overview

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and building backend and integration solutions using Java (8/11/17), Spring Boot, and Hibernate/JPA. You will play a key role in defining and delivering RESTful APIs aligned to enterprise standards, ensuring they are well-documented using Swagger/OpenAPI and built with strong consideration for scalability, security, and maintainability.

You will also be deeply involved in the development of microservices and reusable components that support data ingestion, orchestration, and downstream system delivery. A core part of your work will focus on Kafka-based event streaming, where you will contribute to topic design, schema definition, consumer patterns, and resilient pub/sub architecture.

Beyond development, you will ensure systems meet high non-functional requirements, including performance, reliability, and observability, with Splunk used for monitoring and operational insights. You will also contribute to technical leadership across the team by mentoring engineers, supporting solution design decisions, and helping uphold engineering standards across delivery streams.

Skills:

• Java, Spring Boot / Spring Cloud, Hibernate, and REST API development
• Proven experience designing and documenting APIs using Swagger / OpenAPI
• Solid experience with Apache Kafka including event streaming, topic/schema design, and consumer management
• Strong understanding of secure API design including OAuth2, JWT, and authentication best practices
• Experience with microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Exposure to observability and monitoring tools such as Splunk

If this sounds like a strong match for your experience and you're looking to step into a high-impact engineering role within a modern, API-driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.
