Summary:
The Full Stack Developer will contribute to the delivery of software systems that enable data visualisation and decision support across multiple defence-related projects. The initial project is a greenfield full stack build that combines data visualisation with user input workflows, integrating with existing databases to surface and interact with operational data. Its scoped, standalone nature makes it an ideal introduction to defence development practices, infrastructure, and delivery rhythms. Future projects will vary in complexity and maturity, including both greenfield and brownfield systems, where the developer will contribute to enhancement, integration, or replacement of existing capabilities. The developer will work under the guidance of a senior technical lead who will provide architectural support and mentorship throughout the engagement, ensuring continuity and technical alignment.
