Your new company

This opportunity sits inside a large public-sector education environment focused on delivering leadership learning for education leaders. The team is rebuilding a dense, future-ready digital learning platform to better support leadership development across diverse education contexts. You will join a multidisciplinary delivery group composed of product, design, QA, and engineering specialists focused on practical, user-centred outcomes. The environment values governance, security, accessibility and scalable software patterns across web and cloud platforms.

Your new role

The position is advertised as Senior Software Engineer (Vue.js & Node.js) with two specialist streams: a back end–focused role and a front end–focused role. The back end–focused stream will lead Node.js API design and implement resilient server-side components that integrate with NoSQL stores. The front end–focused stream will drive Vue.js 3 interface development to produce accessible, responsive and pixel-accurate user experiences. Both streams collaborate closely with BAs, UX designers, product architects and QA to translate requirements into tested, production-grade software. You will participate in Agile ceremonies, contribute to CI/CD practices and take technical responsibility for maintainable code and reliable deployments.

What you'll need to succeed

Back end stream: demonstrable experience building RESTful APIs in Node.js and working with NoSQL databases such as MongoDB and search platforms like Elasticsearch. Front end stream: advanced proficiency with HTML, CSS/SASS and JavaScript plus strong experience delivering Vue.js 3 applications across devices and browsers. Both streams: at least five years of relevant professional experience, familiarity with cloud-based patterns and a commitment to accessibility and test-driven development. Strong communication skills to work with stakeholders, mentor junior engineers and explain technical trade-offs in plain language. A practical mindset for debugging complex issues, designing for security and applying software engineering best practices across the stack.

What you'll get in return

A senior technical role on a high-impact project that shapes leadership learning experiences used by education leaders. An opportunity to influence architecture, engineering practices and accessibility standards within a collaborative delivery team. Hybrid work based in Sydney with an emphasis on balancing focused remote work and in-person collaboration. Competitive daily contracting arrangements and a defined engagement through to the project delivery horizon.
