Senior backend-only Java engineer at Flight Centre Travel Group in South Bank, Brisbane (hybrid), building and owning high-availability services for a corporate travel booking platform — change/cancellation, waitlists, and policy engine integration — using Java 17/21, Spring Boot, REST/SOAP, MySQL/Sybase, Datadog, and Azure.
At Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) our purpose is to 'open up the world for those who want to see'. Every day, we give people all around the world the opportunity to experience something amazing – travel!
We're looking for a Senior Java Engineer to help us build and scale a travel platform relied on by some of Australia's largest corporate operators. This is not a full stack role, it's a deep backend engineering position for someone who genuinely enjoys the hard problems: complex, high availability systems that process high volume travel booking at scale.
You'll be a key technical contributor on capabilities that matter, building the backend systems that give travel consultants and managers one consistent, reliable way of managing trips for our customers, rather than a patchwork of workarounds and exceptions. You won't be maintaining someone else's legacy code in isolation; you'll be designing and building new capability from the ground up, including change and cancellation support, waitlist management, and deep policy engine integration, then owning it end to end in production. This is a chance to make decisions that stick: the architecture you choose, the standards you set, and the patterns you introduce will shape how the platform evolves for years to come.
Day to day:
Core Backend Development
System Reliability & Observability
Architecture & Technical Leadership
DevOps & Delivery
You'll be perfect for the role if you have:
