The Role

We are looking for an expert Senior Java Engineer to join our Corporate Technology team and take ownership of core backend systems underpinning our One Touch workforce travel experience. This is not a full‑stack role, it is a deep backend engineering position for someone who thrives building complex, high‑availability systems that process high‑volume travel workflows at scale. You will be a key technical contributor delivering critical capability uplift including change and cancellation support, waitlist management, and deep policy engine integration across systems that run 24/7 for some of Australia’s largest mining and resources operators.

Deliver new modules including: change and cancellation processing, waitlist capability, and policy engine integration across the workforce travel platform
Implement & consume RESTful APIs and SOAP/Web Services that integrate with airline GDS systems, internal booking engines, and third‑party workforce platforms
Build robust, fault‑tolerant service components capable of handling high‑volume, time‑critical travel booking workflows

System Reliability & Observability

Ensure the platform maintains high uptime, this is a mission‑critical system for workforce travel operations; downtime has direct operational impact
Instrument services with Datadog, including APM tracing, custom metrics, log correlation, and dashboard creation to provide full observability across the travel workflow stack
Define and monitor SLOs/SLIs, respond to incidents, and lead post‑incident reviews to drive continuous reliability improvement
Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, memory issues, and degradation patterns before they impact customers

Architecture & Technical Leadership

Lead technical design for new capabilities, producing clear architecture and API design documentation before implementation
Conduct rigorous code reviews and hold the team to high standards for API design, exception handling, test coverage, and service contract quality
Identify and reduce technical debt, particularly around legacy integration patterns, file‑based data exchange, and monolithic components
Mentor and support junior and mid‑level engineers, particularly on Java best practices, Spring internals, and API design

DevOps & Delivery

Champion DevOps practices across the team: CI/CD pipeline ownership, automated testing (unit, integration, contract), and deployment hygiene
Collaborate with platform and cloud engineering on Azure‑based infrastructure, ensuring services are containerised, scalable, and maintainable
Work closely with product managers and business stakeholders to translate complex travel workflow requirements into clean, maintainable backend logic
Participate actively in agile delivery processes, sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives and drive continuous improvement

About You

Essential

7+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep expertise in Java (Java 11+, ideally Java 17 or 21)

Strong track record designing and building complex REST APIs and Web Services (SOAP/WSDL); including versioning, contract design, and error handling at scale
Proven ability to instrument and operate production systems using Datadog — APM, dashboards, monitors, log pipelines, and AI‑powered anomaly detection and forecasting features
Experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Sybase) including complex query optimisation and schema design

Highly Regarded

Experience in travel technology GDS systems (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo), NDC, PNR management, travel platforms
Background in workforce management, resource scheduling, FIFO logistics
Familiarity with API gateways, service mesh, microservices strategies
Azure cloud experience: App Services, AKS, Service Bus, Application Insights
