Summary
A senior lead developer who designs, builds, and maintains end-to-end applications (backend, frontend, integrations) in Python with React/Angular front ends, alongside DevOps duties: Docker, Git, Terraform, AWS, and CI/CD via Azure DevOps or GitLab. Office-based in Brisbane or Perth, Australia.
We’re looking for a strong, versatile Senior Lead Developer to
build and enhance modern applications across the full technology stack. This
role needs someone with deep development expertise, modern DevOps practices,

applications (backend, frontend, integrations).
- Collaborate with Product Owners and Agile leaders
on user stories, design, documentation, and testing.
- Implement high‑quality, maintainable solutions
using agreed engineering standards and design patterns.
- Write and maintain unit tests; participate
in and lead code reviews.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, developer
tooling, and automation.
- Work with containerised and cloud‑hosted
applications; resolve technical dependencies across teams.
Mandatory Skills & Experience:
- Python for application and systems development – strong
working experience (7+ years preferred)
- Docker, Git
- Terraform
- Build, packaging, and release processes
- Practical exposure to AWS or similar cloud
platforms
- CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or GitLab preferred)
- Full‑stack developers preferred. React or
Angular (3+ years).
- Understanding of:
- Networking fundamentals
- Cloud‑hosted architectures
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts
Nice to Have
- Experience with other languages or ecosystems
(e.g. JavaScript beyond frontend, NET)
- Exposure to AI‑assisted/agentic developer
tools (e.g. Cursor, Codex, Claude Code)
