Ever wanted to build software that actually gets used, for the people who keep essential services running?
Horizon Digital is a Perth-based custom software and AI consultancy.
We build complex, high-impact digital solutions for enterprise clients across government, resources, and the private sector, and we do it fast, with agile delivery baked in from day one.
You'll join the Horizon Digital team and be embedded on site with one of our clients, a utilities company south of the river.

Building and shipping features end to end across a Django and React stack on AWS
Writing and testing your own code so changes stay safe and reliable
Working directly with client teams on site to understand and improve their processes
Turning practical,



real-world requirements into working software
Using AI tools like Claude Code to work faster and smarter
Growing into implementing AI capabilities as the engagement evolves
Talking plainly with non-technical teams and leaving the jargon at the door
What you'll bring
Mid level experience in software development, comfortable owning features end to end
Solid Python and Django, with React on the front end
Hands-on experience with AWS
A quality-first mindset.
You write and test your own code, you don't just throw it over the fence
