Specifically, you will be joining the State Operational Data Store (ODS) Program.

The ODS Program develops dashboards and digital tools to monitor performance, including the Patient Flow Portal, which tracks bed availability, discharge processes, and cleaning workflows, to enable a variety of statewide initiatives.

Design and deliver full stack solutions across frontend, backend, integration and data layers using ASP.NET/.NET, SQL Server, REST APIs, modern web standards, Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps.

Develop and apply AI‑enabled engineering practices across development, testing, documentation, code review, and AI harness engineering, maximising the value of AI credits while ensuring accuracy, security, privacy, accessibility, performance, and clinical safety.

Support reliable operations through release readiness, incident response, performance optimisation, stakeholder communication and continuous service improvement.

Experience developing AI‑enabled solutions using GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, AWS SageMaker, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or equivalent platforms, including deploying and testing open‑source AI models from Hugging Face in secure local sandbox environments and validating AI‑generated outputs for accuracy, security, privacy, safety, and risk.

Strong business analysis, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills, including creating doc-as-code and spec-as-code artefacts, defining requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, and effectively communicating technical concepts to clinical, operational, and non‑technical stakeholders.
