About Us

IAG Defence & National Security (DNS) is part of IAG, a specialist advisory firm supporting complex infrastructure, Defence and national security programs across Australia.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a small, high-performing IT team supporting a digital government portal program. This is a genuinely hands-on senior developer role -- you'll oversee software development activities, write optimised code, and provide technical leadership across the Power Platform and Dynamics 365 stack.

You'll work closely with business teams in a small resource group, so this suits someone who genuinely enjoys close collaboration in a tight-knit environment rather than a large, siloed development team. Candidates should have a genuine interest in this kind of environment and be a good cultural fit for a small, high-performing organisation.

Key Responsibilities

- Oversee software development projects and provide technical leadership to a team of software engineers
- Write optimised code and ensure the quality and functionality of software produced by the team
- Develop solutions using Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse and the Power Platform, including Power Pages
- Build front-end applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML,



CSS and modern frameworks such as Vue.js
- Develop full-stack solutions using C#, .NET, REST APIs, JSON and SQL, integrating front-end applications with backend services
- Integrate Azure and Power Platform technologies, including API Management, Azure Functions, Logic Apps and Power Automate
- Work within established application architectures and development patterns, using Azure DevOps, source control and CI/CD practices
- Collaborate closely with business and delivery teams in a small, multidisciplinary environment

Required

- EL1 equivalent (Senior) experience level
- Demonstrated experience developing solutions using Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse and the Power Platform, including Power Pages
- Strong front-end development skills using JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML and CSS, with experience in modern frameworks such as Vue.js
- Robust full-stack development skills, including C#, .NET, REST APIs, JSON and SQL
- Experience with Azure and Power Platform integration technologies, such as API Management, Azure Functions, Logic Apps and Power Automate
- Experience working with established application architectures, development patterns and reusable components, including Azure DevOps and CI/CD practices
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, with experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary delivery teams




- Experience with AI and intelligent automation technologies (e.g. Azure AI, Microsoft Copilot, AI Builder) highly regarded
- Relevant Microsoft certifications across Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure or AI highly regarded

Engagement Details

Hybrid working arrangement -- flexible in-office/WFH, though ACT-based staff are strongly preferred. 12-month engagement, with extension options available.

What We Offer

With offices in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra, we're a tight-knit team working across some of Australia's most critical Defence and national security programs. We value expertise, collaboration and flexibility, providing our people with opportunities to contribute to meaningful and technically challenging projects.

We can offer great work, great people, outstanding culture, great conditions, and an all-round great time whilst you continue building a rewarding career in the Defence and national security sector. As part of IAG, you'll be joining a team of more than 250 professionals.

Most opportunities advertised by IAG Defence & National Security are subject to client approval, security validation and contractual confirmation. Employment or engagement will only be offered following successful client acceptance and completion of all required pre-engagement checks and onboarding activities.

Please Note

If you are currently serving or have recently left Defence, we'd recommend confirming your eligibility to apply before submitting.
