Java Developer (Full Stack) - Contract

The Organisation A large NSW Government agency is investing in a project delivery team building purpose-built applications that support critical frontline operations. This is a well-resourced environment, with an established team of permanent staff and contractors already in place, so you won't be starting from scratch or working in isolation.

The Engagement Initial 6-month contract, with the broader program of work estimated at around 2 years subject to ongoing funding approval. You'll be working across two applications: one being built from the ground up, involving forms development and integration with core back-end systems, and one already underway, where you'll extend an existing framework alongside another developer. This sits within a dedicated project delivery function, separate from day-to-day support work.


What You'll Be Doing
  • Developing and extending Java applications end-to-end, from a brand-new build through to feature extension of an existing platform
  • Building front-end components in Angular
  • Integrating with back-end systems and messaging/integration layers
  • Working closely with internal architecture and testing teams
  • Contributing to both greenfield and established codebases within the same team

What You'll Bring

Essential:
  • Strong core Java experience (Java 8)
  • Spring framework
  • Angular front-end development experience
  • Comfortable working across a back-end-heavy full stack split
Highly Desirable:
  • Node.js
  • MuleSoft
  • IBM MQ
  • Jenkins
  • Experience integrating with legacy or mainframe systems

Why Consider This Role
This is a chance to work across both greenfield and established platforms in the same engagement, with genuine support from an existing team rather than being dropped in solo. The work sits within a meaningful public-sector delivery program, and there's a credible path to a much longer engagement if funding for the broader program is confirmed.
