Software Engineer

At Campfire Digital Services Pty Ltd, we believe technology should feel natural and effortless.

Our mission is to humanise technology by designing and delivering digital solutions that are intuitive, meaningful and easy to use. We partner with organisations across government and industry to deliver high-quality digital experiences that work for users and the teams behind them.

About the role

We’re looking for a mid-level Software Engineer with around five years of software development experience to join our delivery team. You’ll own moderately complex development tasks, from clarifying requirements and designing a solution through to writing, testing and deploying code.

You’ll work across front-end and back-end systems alongside product managers, designers, QA analysts and other engineers. This role suits someone who can work independently with limited guidance, explain their technical decisions and bring in another engineer when they need a second perspective.

What you’ll do

• Design, build and maintain software that meets user and business needs.
• Write readable, well-tested code and keep technical documentation up to date.
• Review code, give constructive feedback and apply feedback to your own work.
• Troubleshoot issues and improve application performance, reliability and security.
• Contribute to automated testing, CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployments, some of which will take place outside regular business hours.
• Work with product, design and QA to clarify requirements and deliver solutions that fit the project.

What you’ll bring

• Around five years of professional software development experience.
• Proficiency in one or more languages including Java, Python, and JavaScript, and experience with front-end and back-end frameworks.
• A sound understanding of object-oriented programming, software design patterns and secure coding practices.
• Experience working with SQL or NoSQL databases and a cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.
• Familiarity with automated testing, CI/CD and containerisation tools such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• A degree in computer science, software engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
