We're partnering with a highly regarded Australian technology organisation currently undergoing a major backend modernisation initiative and are seeking a strong hands-on Senior Java Developer to join the team on an initial contract basis.
This role will focus heavily on migrating a large-scale enterprise application from Java 8 to Java 21 LTS while helping modernise engineering practices, improve performance, and support cloud-native delivery capabilities.
This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role suited to someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working closely with engineering teams, and contributing directly to delivery outcomes.

- Modernise existing codebases and introduce newer Java capabilities where appropriate
- Upgrade and improve build tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes
- Work across cloud-native microservices environments
- Improve testing capability and code quality practices
- Support performance optimisation, observability, and production readiness initiatives
- Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and delivery teams
Tech Environment

- REST APIs
- Maven / Gradle
- CI/CD pipelines
- Containerised deployments
- GitHub workflows

What We're Looking For
- 5-8+ years of Java development experience
- Strong recent hands-on backend engineering experience
- Proven experience working with Spring Boot and microservices architectures
- Experience delivering within AWS cloud environments
- Strong understanding of JVM performance, concurrency, and modern Java features
- Ability to hit the ground running in a fast-moving agile environment
- Engineers who still enjoy coding and delivery over pure leadership or architecture responsibilities
This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing engineering environment working on meaningful, large-scale modernisation work with strong extension potential.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
