• A minimum of five years of experience in software engineering;

In return you will have the opportunity to be a part of and contribute to a great culture and work environment in either Adelaide or Canberra; will face challenging problems and learn to solve them with other smart people; and contribute to the on-going security of Australia’s great way of life… there is also
