Our Why
Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow.
About the Role (your why)
We are seeking a versatile and highly skilled Senior Fullstack Developer with a strong generalist mindset to join our engineering team. In this role, you won't just write code; you will design, build, and maintain robust, end-to-end applications and integration solutions. As a generalist, you thrive on solving complex engineering problems across the entire stack—from crafting intuitive user experiences to architecting scalable backend systems. You are highly adaptable, cloud-agnostic, and passionate about seamless system integrations and modern software engineering principles.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Application Development: Design, develop, and deploy scalable, high-performance web applications, managing the full software development lifecycle from concept to production.
- Modern Frontend Development: Build responsive, highly interactive user interfaces primarily utilizing React, ensuring a focus on clean architecture, state management, and optimal user experience.
- Robust Backend & Integration Architecture: Architect and implement secure, scalable backend services and APIs using the .NET stack (C#). Design integration solutions that connect internal systems, microservices, and third-party APIs seamlessly.
- Cloud-Agnostic Deployment: Deploy and maintain applications across various cloud ecosystems (e.g., AWS, Azure) utilizing infrastructure-as-code principles and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Data Layer Management: Design, optimize, and manage both relational (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and non-relational databases, leveraging ORMs like Entity Framework while maintaining the ability to write raw, high-performance queries.
- Quality & Automation: Write comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Champion automated testing strategies to ensure application stability and continuous delivery.
- Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Actively participate in design reviews and code reviews. Mentoring and fostering a culture of technical excellence and shared learning.
- Agile Delivery: Partner with product managers and stakeholders to break down complex business requirements into clear technical specifications within an Agile framework.
Key Skills & Qualifications
Technical Core
- Backend Expertise: Strong proficiency in modern .NET (.NET Core / .NET 6+) and C#, with deep experience building Web APIs, RESTful services, and microservices.
- Frontend Expertise: Solid experience with modern React (including hooks, state management, and modern build tools) alongside a strong foundation in TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
- Integration & Systems Design: Proven experience designing and integrating complex APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, and third-party services.
- Cloud & DevOps: A cloud-agnostic mindset with experience deploying to platforms like AWS or Azure. Familiarity with Docker, containerization, and building automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Database Proficiency: Strong skills in database design, query optimization, and data modelling (SQL and NoSQL options).
Soft Skills
- Generalist Aptitude: A strong ability to quickly pick up new technologies, frameworks, or languages as required by the business problem.
- Problem Solving: Exceptional analytical and debugging skills across distributed systems.
- Collaboration: Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
