Are you a backend developer with a passion for building scalable, high-performance systems? Our client, a well-established name in the Australian insurance sector, is investing heavily in digital transformation and is looking for a talented Backend Developer to join their growing technology team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on meaningful projects that support core insurance services — from customer self-service platforms to claims and policy management systems. You'll be joining a forward-thinking environment that values clean code, robust architecture, and collaborative development practices.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Designing and building secure, scalable, and maintainable backend services using .NET Core and/or Node.js
- Developing and consuming RESTful APIs to support front-end applications and third-party integrations
- Working with SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) to manage and structure critical data
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams including front-end developers, QA engineers, product owners, and architects
- Contributing to the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) — from planning and development through to deployment and monitoring
- Building solutions in a cloud-native environment using Microsoft Azure, with a focus on scalability and performance
- Implementing secure authentication and authorization mechanisms (OAuth2, JWT)
- Supporting the move toward modern microservices architecture and event-driven systems
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong commercial experience with .NET Core and/or Node.js
- Proven experience designing and working with REST APIs
- Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases
- Familiarity with Azure Cloud Services (App Services, Azure Functions, DevOps pipelines)
- Solid understanding of API security, performance tuning, and best practices in enterprise integration
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and Agile methodologies
- Experience working in industries with high regulatory or compliance standards (financial services or insurance is a plus)
