As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll design, build, and release features that directly impact our customers, using the latest in Java development while expanding your expertise into Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). You’ll work alongside project managers, architects, and technical leads to deliver high-quality solutions, all while growing your skills and shaping the future of digital at Optus.

Overview

The day to day

• Develop, test, and release Pega Case Management capability using industry best practices and Optus standards.

• An interest in learning Case Management domain and applying new technologies in real-world solutions.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with confidence working in agile environments.
• Exposure to multiple industry leading case management technologies outside of Pega (eg. Salesforce Case Management) is a plus.
