Based in Sydney or Melbourne — we offer relocation support for candidates moving from other states.The Mission - Why This Program, Why Now?
You're joining at the defining moment of one of the most significant technology programmes Australia has ever undertaken.
This programme will build and operate the dedicated cloud giving Australia's national security community and its allies the capability to see more, share more, innovate and act faster than ever before.The architectural decisions being made now - how we structure networking, implement security controls, and automate at scale - will shape how Australia's national security community operates for the next decade.
You won't be inheriting someone else's design choices.
You'll be making them.Your OpportunityWhat if you could build the cloud rather than just use it?
As a System Development Engineer, you'll be the force behind the software services and platforms that build, operate, monitor, and assure the network within an entire region.




You won't just be maintaining systems — you'll be inventing the automation and tooling that transforms how one of the world's largest cloud networks operates.This role sits at a unique intersection of software engineering and operational excellence.
You'll develop expertise across 170+ network services built by teams spanning the globe — services that cannot be directly accessed or operated by their creators within this workplace.
That makes you the critical link between innovation and execution, the engineer who ensures these services run flawlessly while driving permanent solutions that prevent issues from ever recurring.Your internal customers are your network engineer colleagues, and through close collaboration, you share a common goal: serve external customers and grow through learning and innovation.
You'll work across multiple programming languages and frameworks, diagnose issues at the code and systems level, and build full-stack solutions from design through to operational management.
The breadth of exposure you'll gain here — across AWS services, technologies, and complex challenges — goes far beyond what a traditional service team role could offer.This is an environment where operational problems become engineering opportunities, where every recurring issue is a chance to automate, and where your software engineering skills directly power Australia's national security capability.
