Canberra | On-site | Federal Government ICT Sustainment and Upgrade Program
PALAS Consulting is seeking Core Integration Engineers for a significant Federal Government ICT sustainment and upgrade program commencing September 2026. Two positions are available. This is a multi-year engagement, contracted yearly with extensions, supporting the sustainment, enhancement and integration of applications on a secure Federal Government network.
The role suits a hands‑on integration engineer who builds, tests and sustains the connections between systems, and who is comfortable troubleshooting live integrations in a controlled workplace. You will work within an established integration stream under a technical lead, alongside developers, platform engineers and support teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Build, test and sustain integrations between applications and services across a complex application estate.
- Develop and maintain APIs, interfaces and middleware components supporting service to service integration.
- Troubleshoot and resolve integration faults in live systems, working within formal change and release processes.
- Manage the movement of data between systems and environments in line with security and governance requirements.
- Produce and maintain interface specifications and supporting technical documentation.
- Contribute to integration standards and reusable patterns across the stream.
Required Experience
- Demonstrated systems and application integration experience, including REST or SOAP APIs, messaging or middleware.
- Experience supporting and sustaining integrations in live production environments, not solely greenfield build.
- Experience delivering within Federal Government or similarly regulated environments.
- Strong troubleshooting discipline and clear technical documentation.
- Australian citizenship is mandatory.
- Must hold a current AGSVA security clearance.
- Familiarity with Microsoft based application estates, including SharePoint, the Power Platform and SQL Server.
- Experience integrating systems across segregated network environments.
- Experience working in agile delivery teams.
Location and Working Arrangements
This role is Canberra based and primarily on-site. Commencement is expected from 1 September 2026, with candidates holding notice periods encouraged to apply early.
