Senior Full Stack Engineer - South Bank, QLD

Core Backend Development

Design, build, and own complex backend services and APIs using C# / .NET (ASP.NET Core), with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and correctness

Deliver new modules including: change and cancellation processing, waitlist capability, and policy engine integration across the travel platform

Implement and consume RESTful APIs and SOAP/Web Services that integrate with airline GDS systems, internal booking engines, and third party travel platforms

Build robust, fault tolerant service components capable of handling high volume, time critical travel booking

Frontend Development

Design and build responsive, accessible user interfaces in React that give travel bookers and administrators a clear, reliable view into complex processes

Own end to end feature delivery: from API design through to the React components and state management that consume them

Work with component libraries and design systems to keep the UI consistent, maintainable, and easy to extend

Optimise frontend performance (load times, rendering, bundle size) for users working in time critical, high pressure booking scenarios

System Reliability & Observability

Ensure the platform maintains high uptime, this is a mission critical system for 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 booking stack, frontend and backend

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, component quality, 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 C# best practices, .NET internals, React patterns, and API design

DevOps & Delivery

Champion DevOps practices across the team: CI/CD pipeline ownership, automated testing (unit, integration, contract, and frontend), 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, designers, and business stakeholders to translate complex travel booking requirements into clean, maintainable full stack solutions

Participate actively in agile delivery processes, sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives and drive continuous improvement

7+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep, hands on expertise across both C# / .NET (.NET 6+, ideally .NET 8) and React, comfortable owning features end to end rather than favouring one side of the stack

Proficient with AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) and able to critically evaluate AI generated code in production contexts

Expert level knowledge of the .NET ecosystem: ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, .NET Identity, and integration frameworks such as MassTransit or NServiceBus

Expert level experience with React, including hooks, component driven architecture, state management, and building maintainable, well tested frontend applications

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 (SQL Server, 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 resource scheduling and logistics

Familiarity with API gateways, service mesh, microservices strategies
