Are you a Senior Java Developer looking for more than just another development role?

We're seeking an experienced engineer to join a major enterprise transformation program, developing the next generation of applications that support critical insurance underwriting operations.

This is an opportunity to work on business-critical systems while partnering closely with stakeholders to influence how solutions are designed and delivered.

Rather than simply delivering tickets, you'll immerse yourself in the business, gaining a deep understanding of underwriting processes and helping shape technology that delivers meaningful outcomes.

The Opportunity
You'll be responsible for developing and enhancing an internal Underwriter Portal and a suite of supporting applications that are transforming the way underwriters & risk managers access and use information. You'll also play a key role in consolidating data from multiple legacy platforms into a modern global data hub, enabling new digital capabilities across the organisation. Working alongside product owners, business stakeholders and fellow engineers, you'll help design scalable, modern solutions that have a direct impact on the business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing and developing enterprise Java applications
• Building scalable microservices using Spring Boot
• Developing modern front-end functionality using Angular (React also considered)
• Building event-driven solutions with Kafka
• Deploying applications into Kubernetes environments
• Integrating data from multiple enterprise platforms
• Collaborating directly with underwriting teams to understand business workflows
• Influencing technical design and architectural decisions
• Mentoring developers and promoting engineering best practice

Skills You'll bring:

• Extensive commercial Java development experience
• Strong Spring Boot and microservices expertise
• Experience with Kafka and event-driven architectures
• Kubernetes experience
• Angular or React experience
• Agentic AI experience (Anthropic/Claude Preferred)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Experience mentoring developers or leading technical initiatives
• A passion for delivering high-quality, maintainable software

AI & Modern Engineering
We're looking for engineers who embrace emerging technologies and modern development practices.

As part of the interview process, we'll ask how you use AI—whether that's coding assistants,
automation, learning or improving productivity. We're interested in developers who are curious and continuously evolving the way they work.

What's On Offer

• $150,000–$170,000 + Super
• Major enterprise transformation program
• Modern cloud-native technology stack
• High-impact role working directly with business stakeholders
• Collaborative engineering culture
• Melbourne preferred, Sydney also available

If you're looking for a role where your technical expertise, business engagement and leadership will genuinely influence the success of a major transformation program, we'd love to hear from you.
