Melbourne | Hybrid (3 days in office)
We're partnering with a leading financial services organization as they continue modernising their engineering environment and investing heavily in cloud-native delivery, automation, DevOps practices, and contemporary software engineering capability.
This is a Senior Software Engineer contract opportunity sitting within a growing engineering function focused on building scalable, resilient solutions across multiple digital platforms. The environment is highly collaborative, engineering-led, and ideal for someone who enjoys ownership across the full software delivery lifecycle rather than simply writing code and handing work off downstream.
You'll be joining a business that is actively shifting toward modern engineering practices including CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability, rapid deployment cycles, and shared production ownership. The team values engineers who can think critically, challenge assumptions constructively, and help drive better engineering outcomes.
What You'll Be Doing
Designing and developing cloud-native applications using C#/.NET and Microsoft Azure
Building scalable APIs, integrations, asynchronous messaging solutions, and event-driven architectures
Working across the full engineering lifecycle including design, development, deployment, observability, and production support
Implementing and improving CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment practices
Provisioning and managing Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code practices
Contributing to modern DevOps culture and continuous delivery capability
Supporting engineering best practices around testing, reliability, maintainability, and security
Collaborating closely with platform engineering and broader delivery teams




What We're Looking For
Strong Senior Software Engineering experience with C#/.NET
Deep Azure capability beyond application development alone
Hands-on experience provisioning cloud infrastructure and deploying production workloads
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Bicep
Strong understanding of CI/CD, DevOps, automation, and cloud-native engineering practices
Experience working with APIs, integrations, middleware, messaging systems, and event-driven architectures
Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, and production reliability
Engineers who take ownership and understand how their systems operate in production
Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Open-minded approach toward AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot
Nice to Have
Experience in regulated or enterprise environments
Exposure to Azure Functions, Event Grid, Logic Apps, or Front Door
Experience with automated testing and test-first engineering practices
Exposure to Angular or modern front-end frameworks
Background working across both mature enterprise environments and hands-on product/delivery teams
Why This Role?
Genuine engineering modernisation journey
Strong technical leadership and platform investment
Opportunity to influence engineering culture and delivery practices
Hybrid flexibility with long-term potential
Collaborative environment with strong technical ownership
Potential pathway into future Tech Lead opportunities
If you're a modern cloud engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, owning outcomes end-to-end, and building reliable systems properly, we'd love to hear from you.
