What We Are Looking For
Technology is only one part of what we assess. We are looking for engineers with strong fundamentals who can apply them pragmatically to real-world problems.
Mindset
We value people who:
Take ownership — comfortable taking a problem from requirements and design through implementation, testing, deployment and production support.
Solve problems, not just tasks — investigate root causes, question assumptions and understand the problem behind the request.
Think in trade-offs — balance delivery timelines, security, maintainability, cost, operational complexity and long-term sustainability.
Work well with ambiguity — able to turn business problems and high-level requirements into practical technical solutions.
Care about engineering quality — testing, maintainability, documentation, observability and security are part of engineering, not afterthoughts.
Are pragmatic — able to deliver within real-world constraints including legacy systems, security requirements, compliance and existing organisational processes.
Communicate clearly — explain technical decisions and their implications to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Learn and share — document what you learn, share knowledge and build reusable patterns that can benefit other teams.
Take responsibility for what you build — some of our systems handle sensitive information and support vulnerable members of society, so sound judgement and ethical responsibility matter.
For more experienced candidates, we also look for the ability to operate independently, make pragmatic technical decisions and create reusable capabilities that benefit teams beyond the immediate project.
Technical Capabilities
You do not need to be an expert in every technology listed below. The exact requirements vary depending on the team and role. We value strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to learn.
DevOps / Platform Engineering
For candidates focusing on DevOps, Platform or Infrastructure Engineering, relevant experience may include:
AWS and cloud infrastructure
Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) exposure
Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform or OpenTofu
CI/CD pipelines, particularly GitLab
Docker and containerisation
ECS and/or Kubernetes / EKS
Deployment automation
Cloud networking
Observability and monitoring
Production operations and incident response
Authentication, authorisation, encryption and audit logging
Security controls and compliance requirements
Supporting reliable and highly available production systems
Our software engineering environment is intentionally close to infrastructure. Existing requirements include AWS, Terraform/OpenTofu, GitLab pipelines, ECS/Kubernetes and production security controls.
