Our client is building a high-profile global insurance platform for a leading insurer, and we are
looking for two Senior Java Developers to join a lean, high-performing delivery team based
in Sydney or Melbourne. This is an AI-native project — the teams use Claude and other AI
tools to ship solutions in months that would otherwise take years. You will work directly with
business stakeholders and Australian country leadership to deliver an underwriter
enablement system that centralises and automates insurance workflows.
The Project
The Underwriter Enablement System consolidates data from downstream systems into a
global data store, automates data ingestion using AI, and provides underwriters with a
centralised interface for policy management and administration. The goal is to replace
archaic, siloed workflows with a modern, AI-enabled platform that simplifies decision-making
across the business.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop features across the full stack using Java (Spring Boot), Kafka and Angular.
Take end-to-end ownership of delivery, including architecture decisions, without heavy reliance on others.
Use AI-assisted coding tools (primarily Claude) as a core part of your daily workflow to maximise throughput.
Write and maintain comprehensive test suites — unit, integration, load, and contract tests — using Test Driven Development (TDD) via AI-native workflows.
Collaborate directly with Australian business leads and country heads in Sydney and Melbourne.
Build internal utilities and reliability tooling in Python to support AI-assisted development workflows.




Manage CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes deployments on Azure.
Ensure all code meets high quality standards, regardless of how much is AI-generated.
Required Skills & Experience
Robust proficiency in Java with Spring or Spring Boot for enterprise application development.
Experience with Kafka for event-driven messaging architectures.
Front-end development experience with Angular (React considered as an alternative).
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes.
Familiarity with cloud platforms — Azure preferred, though platform-agnostic candidates are welcome.
Demonstrable experience using AI coding tools (Claude, Copilot, or similar) in a professional setting.
Architectural awareness: ability to make design decisions and deliver independently.
Experience writing and owning full testing suites, including unit, integration, and load tests.
Australian-based (Sydney or Melbourne) with full work rights.
Nice to Have
Python scripting experience for utilities and tooling.
Experience with Azure Data Lake and Apache Spark.
Background in insurance or financial services.
Prior work in a TDD or AI-native delivery environment.
What's on Offer
12-month fixed-term contract with a globally recognised client.
Work directly with senior stakeholders and country leadership — not buried in a corporate hierarchy.
AI-native working environment with no strict token caps: use the tools you need to deliver.
Lean, high-trust team where your decisions genuinely matter.
Exposure to cutting-edge AI-assisted delivery methodologies.
