Be Challenged and Imagine with us
Are you an experienced software engineer who enjoys working across the full technology stack?
The University of Newcastle is looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer / Senior DevOps Engineer to provide technical leadership across cloud platforms, application development and integration services.
This is a hands‑on role where you’ll design, build and support modern technology solutions while helping to strengthen engineering practices, mentor other developers and solve complex technical challenges.
You’ll work across cloud infrastructure, application development, integration and DevOps, helping evolve the University’s technology platforms and applications to meet changing business needs.
You’re a senior software engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and working across development, cloud and operations. You will also have experience leading and managing a small technical team, including mentoring and developing engineers.
You’ll bring strong experience in AWS, software engineering and DevOps, along with the ability to take ownership of solutions from design through to deployment and ongoing support.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, cloud‑native development, integration services and modern web development will be valuable.
