Lane8 Consulting is a Perth-based specialist consultancy, founded in **** by practising business analysts. We place experienced people into complex enterprise environments and present them to clients as Lane8 consultants, not as names on a recruiter's list.
The role
You would be the People Soft Financials engineer for a large Western Australian university, working on-site in Perth within its IT division and reporting to a senior manager in the core systems team.
The platform is People Soft FSCM 9.2 on People Tools 8.62, Oracle database, hosted in Azure. It is the university's primary finance system and integrates with its HR, enterprise performance management and student systems, among others.
This is the finance platform's engineering capability, not a seat in a large People Soft team. The in-house team is capable across the wider estate but carries no People Soft depth, so this role owns the application end to end: requirements, build, integration, reporting, incident resolution and documentation. There are no inherited internal development standards, which means you bring your own and apply industry practice.
If you want to be the person who understands a finance platform properly rather than one developer among twelve, this will suit you.
What you would work on
Enhancements and customisations in Application Designer, People Code, Application Engine and Application Packages
Integrations through Integration Broker, web services and component interfaces
Reporting in SQR, BI/XML Publisher and PS Query
Production incident investigation and root cause analysis for finance users
SQL data fixes and conversion scripts, and resolving Process Scheduler failures
Technical design documentation, code review, and remediation of issues raised by code scans
Requirements elicitation directly with finance business stakeholders
What we are looking for




Substantial hands-on People Soft development experience across Application Designer, People Code, Application Engine and Application Packages
Hands-on People Soft Financials (FSCM) experience
Demonstrated experience supporting and enhancing a production People Soft application in a complex enterprise environment
Integration experience using Integration Broker and web services
Strong SQL, including data fixes and conversion scripts
Reporting development in SQR, BI/XML Publisher or PS Query
The ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions without an escalation path above you
Clear written and verbal communication, and the confidence to work directly with finance stakeholders
Relevant tertiary qualification, or equivalent demonstrated competency
Highly desirable
People Soft HCM experience alongside Financials
Cloud-hosted People Soft, particularly on Azure
People Tools upgrades and customisation retrofit
Service Now as the ITSM platform
Nice to have, not deal breakers
Fluid UI development
Oracle Linux and UNIX shell scripting
data masking and migration
ITIL processes
experience as the sole engineer on a platform
What we need from you
Full Australian working rights, without the need for visa sponsorship
Based in Perth and able to work on-site across the Perth metropolitan area. We will consider applicants from interstate only where there is a explicit and demonstrated commitment to relocating to Perth, at your own cost, before starting
Willingness to obtain a National Police Clearance before commencement
Comfortable with occasional after-hours and weekend work around release and maintenance windows
Why Lane8
We are a consultancy, not an agency. You would be presented to the client as a Lane8 consultant, and we stay involved in the engagement rather than disappearing once the placement is made.
