Job description

What You’ll Be Doing

Join RAC WA as a Software Engineer and help shape the digital experiences that serve hundreds of thousands of Western Australians. You’ll work across a modern cloud-native stack, lead by example, and make a real impact on products that matter. This will start as a 2 year maximum term contract position. You will design and build solutions to real business challenges ensuring experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and built to last. Bring infrastructure to life using code-first principles on Azure. You’ll architect and manage cloud resources that strike the right balance between performance, availability, and cost. Quality is non-negotiable. You own end-to-end testing - unit, integration, performance, and functional - and document your work so that knowledge flows freely across the team. You will be a driving force behind best practices - shaping standards, automating pipelines, and embedding DevOps culture into the way the team delivers. You engage directly with users and business stakeholders to truly understand what they need - then build it. No telephone game, no guesswork. You contribute to strategic solution design end-to-end - front-end, back-end, and integration - ensuring what gets built aligns with RAC's long-term technology direction. You ensure systems stay available and resilient, with disaster recovery measures that meet meaningful RTO and RPO targets - and strong stakeholder relationships to back it all up.

What You Bring

You have a solid track record across software design, architecture, development, and testing. You are proficient in .NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js and Python. Bonus points for Sitecore or Contentful experience. You have built cloud-native systems before - ideally on Azure - and you are comfortable with Terraform, ARM, and/or PowerShell. CI/CD isn’t an afterthought for you; it’s how you work. You believe in quality at every stage. You are experienced across unit, integration, performance, functional, and automated testing - and you know how to build it into the pipeline. You understand what high-availability and high-resiliency design looks like in practice. Experience with headless CMS and mobile frameworks (React Native, Ionic, PWA) is highly regarded. A tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field. Microsoft Azure certifications are a plus; Dynamics, Power Platform, and ITIL certifications are a bonus. You are skilled at gathering and shaping requirements, comfortable with BDD, and experienced working in - and helping others grow within - agile delivery environments. You are available for standard operating hours with some on-call responsibility, and you are open to travelling between RAC sites when needed.

What’s in It for You
