About the Team
The Mission Software Solutions business delivers customised and off-the-shelf software solutions to Defence, Intelligence and other Government customers. We develop and support technologies that address complex operational challenges, delivering trusted capabilities where quality, reliability and mission success are critical.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary delivery team, you'll collaborate with software engineers, architects, business analysts and customers to ensure high-quality software solutions are delivered to support mission-critical outcomes.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our growing team in either Melbourne, Victoria or Canberra. This is an on-site role supporting work within a secure environment.
You will contribute across the software development lifecycle, applying sound engineering principles to design, develop, test, integrate and deploy quality software solutions. You will work collaboratively with technical and non-technical stakeholders to solve complex problems and deliver outcomes aligned with customer goals.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on complex and meaningful projects while expanding your software engineering capability in a collaborative delivery environment.
About You
You are a quality-focused software engineer who enjoys solving problems, learning new technologies and contributing to shared team objectives. You apply disciplined engineering and testing practices and understand the importance of reliable, secure and maintainable software.
You communicate clearly, work constructively with others and can adapt between tasks as delivery priorities change. Most importantly, you are committed to customer goals and take pride in delivering software that makes a difference.
