Software Engineer - Tax Radar

Capability Wise is an Australian advisory and technology business focused on helping organisations navigate complex payroll, tax, and regulatory technology environments with confidence.

Our Tax Radar product is a research and intelligence platform that tracks regulatory and technology change across 100+ jurisdictions, transforming fragmented global developments into structured, actionable insights for product, policy, and delivery teams.

We combine deep domain understanding with modern engineering to build practical, high-value tools that reduce complexity and improve decision quality for our clients and partners.

This is a full-time, office-based role in Canberra for a Software Developer responsible for maintaining and evolving the Capability Wise Tax Radar platform.

You will design, build, and maintain software capabilities that support large-scale regulatory monitoring, ingestion, normalisation, version control, and user-facing intelligence delivery across web and mobile experiences.
