Description du poste

We're Civica and we make software that helps deliver critical services for citizens all around the world. From local to state government, to education, to health and care, over 5,000 public bodies across the globe use our software to help provide critical services to over 100 million citizens.

Our aspiration is to be a GovTech champion everywhere we work around the globe, supporting the needs of citizens and those that serve them every day. Building on 21 years of continuous growth and success, we're at a pivotal point on our journey to realise that aspiration.

As a company, we're passionate about what we do and the citizens we help to serve. If you too would like to help champion the use of technology in public services, to improve outcomes for citizens and public sector organisations, then Civica is the right place for you. We will help you unlock the best version of yourself, achieve growth in your career whilst making a real difference to people and communities.

Why you will love this opportunity as Senior Software Engineer at Civica

Join our Local Government APAC engineering team at an exciting stage of our technology transformation. We're approximately halfway through a significant greenfield rewrite, modernising established products onto a contemporary technology stack and building the next generation of software used by councils and communities.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll have genuine technical influence, combining hands‑on full‑stack engineering with architecture, design and end‑to‑end ownership. You'll work in a modern, AI‑enabled engineering environment where tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are embedded into how we design, build and deliver software.

This is an opportunity to shape solutions, influence engineering practices and take ownership beyond simply writing code, while contributing to technology that supports important public services.

What you will do to be successful in this role

• Own complex features end to end, from solution design through development, testing, release and production support.
• Design and build scalable full‑stack solutions using C#, modern .NET and React.
• Shape architecture and technical solutions, balancing quality, security, reliability and maintainability.
• Partner with product, design and stakeholders to turn complex or ambiguous requirements into practical solutions.
• Build, deploy and support software, contributing across CI/CD, observability, infrastructure and cloud‑native delivery.
• Use AI‑assisted engineering tools effectively while applying sound judgement and validating the quality and security of outputs.
• Champion engineering quality through automated testing, code reviews and strong development practices.
• Identify technical risks and dependencies early, communicate trade‑offs and proactively resolve blockers.
• Bring a growth mindset, share knowledge with other engineers and be comfortable working beyond a narrow technical specialisation.

Highly regarded: Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or SQL Server, DevOps practices, Kubernetes, Docker, Playwright, application security and production support. Cloud experience across AWS, Azure or comparable environments is welcomed.

Why you'll love working with us

We know that when our people are happy, they will work better and have greater work satisfaction. Here's what you can expect:

• We're all different - and we love this about us.
• Inclusive environment - We provide an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment to all Civicans. There are opportunities to help you grow and be your best.
• Giving culture - We encourage you to give back through benefits such as our Days of Difference leave, where you can volunteer for a charity of your choice.
• Flexible work - We have the technology and tools to support you to work from home and come into our offices to connect and socialise with colleagues.
