About the Company

Join one of the most significant transformation programs currently underway in Brisbane. This government-owned insurance organisation operates nationally, managing workplace injury claims across all Australian states.

With a bold vision to evolve from a traditional claim's provider into a leading rehabilitation and return-to-work service by 2030, the business is embarking on a major enterprise-wide technology transformation. Backed by $300 million in secured government funding, this long-term program is fully funded and offers substantial project runway, with potential extensions up to 5 years.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a high-profile transformation initiative focused on modernising core systems, uplifting digital capabilities, and reshaping service delivery for the future.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Java Engineer / Backend Developer to join a major technology redevelopment program based in Brisbane CBD.

This role will play a key part in replacing legacy, monolithic systems with a modern multi-vendor SaaS architecture, supporting a large-scale uplift across core enterprise platforms.

Current streams of work include:

  • Redevelopment of legacy architecture and core backend services
  • Replacement of key enterprise platforms including CRM, HRIS, and claims systems
  • Delivery of a new customer-facing website launching in July
  • Integration of modern cloud-first technologies and scalable solutions
  • Supporting the wider digital transformation roadmap through to 2030

This is initially a 6-month contract with strong likelihood of extension to 12 months+, with further long-term opportunities available for high performers.

The role offers a flexible hybrid model, with 50% in-office per fortnight, based in the Brisbane CBD.

Skills

  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • AWS
  • Experience working within large-scale transformation or enterprise redevelopment programs
  • Strong background in modern backend architecture and API development
  • Experience migrating from legacy systems to cloud-native environments
  • Exposure to SaaS platforms and systems integration highly regarded

If you're looking to be part of one of Brisbane's largest and most exciting technology transformation programs, with long-term contract potential and the opportunity to work with modern technologies at scale, we'd love to hear from you.
