Senior Software Engineer

Join RAC WA as a Senior Software Engineer and help shape the digital experiences that serve hundreds of thousands of Western Australians. You'll work across a modern cloud-native stack, lead by example, and make a real impact on products that matter.

This will start as a 2 year maximum term contract position.

What You'll Be Doing

• You'll design and build solutions to real business challenges ensuring experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and built to last.
• Bring infrastructure to life using code-first principles on Azure. You'll architect and manage cloud resources that strike the right balance between performance, availability, and cost.
• Quality is non-negotiable. You'll own end-to-end testing — unit, integration, performance, and functional — and document your work so that knowledge flows freely across the team.
• You'll be a driving force behind best practices — shaping standards, automating pipelines, and embedding DevOps culture into the way the team delivers.
• You'll engage directly with users and business stakeholders to truly understand what they need — then build it. No telephone game, no guesswork.
• You'll contribute to strategic solution design end-to-end — front-end, back-end, and integration — ensuring what gets built aligns with RAC's long-term technology direction.
• You'll ensure systems stay available and resilient, with disaster recovery measures that meet meaningful RTO and RPO targets — and strong stakeholder relationships to back it all up.

What You Bring

• You have a solid track record across software design, architecture, development, and testing. You're proficient in .NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Python. Bonus points for Sitecore or Contentful experience.
• You've built cloud-native systems before — ideally on Azure — and you're comfortable with Terraform, ARM, and/or PowerShell. CI/CD isn't an afterthought for you; it's how you work.
• You believe in quality at every stage. You're experienced across unit, integration, performance, functional, and automated testing — and you know how to build it into the pipeline.
• You understand what high-availability and high-resiliency design looks like in practice. Experience with headless CMS and mobile frameworks (React Native, Ionic, PWA) is highly regarded.
• A tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field. Microsoft Azure certifications are a plus; Dynamics, Power Platform, and ITIL certifications are a bonus.
• You're skilled at gathering and shaping requirements, comfortable with BDD, and experienced working in — and helping others grow within — agile delivery environments.
• You're available for standard operating hours with some on-call responsibility, and you're open to travelling between RAC sites when needed.

What's in It for You

• You'll be building and maintaining products used by real Western Australians every day — not demos or side projects.
• RAC invests in its people. Think learning opportunities, certifications, and a team that genuinely celebrates career progression.
• Flexible and hybrid arrangements, RAC takes work-life balance seriously.
• Diverse, inclusive, and built on a growth mindset. You'll be welcomed, supported, and challenged in equal measure.
• Gain RAC Staff Benefits including free Roadside Assistance and 25% discount on your Insurances, Social Club and access Fitness Passport for cheaper gym memberships.
• Contribute to an organisation with genuine community purpose, working on initiatives that align with a mission bigger than the bottom line.
