A large public sector organisation in Brisbane is growing its digital engineering capability and needs a Principal Java Engineer to take technical ownership of the shared identity and microservice platforms behind its digital services. This is a hands-on principal role. You will extend and develop Keycloak or Red Hat SSO, build reactive Java microservices and RESTful APIs, and work with product leadership on where the platforms go next. The environment demands high availability and strong security assurance, so engineering discipline matters as much as technical depth.
