About the role
We have an opportunity for an Application Developer to be part of our Data Science Team, Technology and Communication Services Command. The Application Developer contributes to the development, implementation and support of software, web, and multi‐media applications that facilitate the achievement of business outcomes and improve business efficiencies and processes through leveraging technology.
This role is positioned within the NSWPF Chief Data Office's Data Science team.

Experience supporting deployed solutions – debugging, monitoring, maintaining and code governance – is highly desired.
Preferred relevant certifications or experience
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (data science, mathematics, physics etc.) with 2+ years' experience, or 5+ years industry experience preferred.
What differentiates a successful candidate?
The preferred candidate will combine rigorous statistical thinking with practical user‐centric application design. They don't just build models; they engage with clients, understand their problems, and provide solutions that meet their needs and capabilities. The ideal candidate communicates clearly to a varied audience, documents thoroughly, and collaborates well with both technical and non‐technical teams.
