Senior Software Engineer Fullstack Java/aws/reactjs City Of Sydney

Overview

Build systems that matter. Solve complex problems. Work with people who care, about the code and each other!

At Objective, we create software that makes a difference. With over 400 people across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom, we build cloud-first SaaS platforms that power how governments and regulated industries operate — securely, reliably, and at scale. Our systems handle complex workflows, sensitive information, and high-trust environments, where quality, security, and performance are critical.

• Design and build scalable, secure, production‑grade applications and services.
• Develop across the stack using Java (Spring Boot) and React.
• Contribute to architecture, system design, and technical direction.
• Balance speed, quality, and long‑term maintainability.
• Improve observability, performance, and system reliability.
• Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, feedback, and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously improve tools, practices, and ways of working.
• Experience applying AI in production to solve real customer problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.

Qualifications

• Experience building up-to-date SaaS or large‑scale web applications
• Robust backend engineering skills (Java / Spring Boot)
• Frontend experience with React (or similar frameworks)
• Solid understanding of APIs, databases, and system design
• Experience with testing, CI/CD, and cloud environments (AWS preferred)
