Description
Technical Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated progression in technical complexity and scope
- Strong foundation in software architecture, system design, and engineering best practices
- Experience with modern tech stacks relevant to government systems (e.g., Java, Salesforce, Kotlin, cloud platforms like GCC/AWS)
- Proven ability to work with both greenfield development and brownfield modernisation projects
- Understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and observability
Strategic & Leadership Capabilities
- Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining alignment with broader organisational goals
- Track record of making pragmatic technical decisions that consider business constraints, timelines, and long-term sustainability
- Experience contributing to technical strategy beyond immediate project boundaries — establishing standards, creating reusable components, or building shared infrastructure
- Ability to articulate trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Evidence of knowledge sharing through documentation, mentorship, or establishing practices that enable other teams
Problem-Solving & Execution
- Strong analytical skills with evidence-based problem-solving approach backed by testing and validation
- Ability to identify root causes beyond surface-level symptoms (e.g., database indexing issues masked as front-end performance problems)
- Proactive in identifying technical dependencies, risks, and constraints early in project lifecycles
- Comfortable working within government constraints (security requirements, compliance needs, data sovereignty) while finding pragmatic solutions
Desired Experience (Nice-to-Have)
- Government or highly regulated industry experience with understanding of compliance, security, and governance requirements
- Experience with platform migrations or modernisation initiatives (legacy system upgrades, cloud migrations, technology stack changes)
- Background in establishing technical standards or creating reusable frameworks used across multiple projects or teams
- Familiarity with grant management, social services systems, or ministry family domain knowledge
