From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About the Role

Join Origin's Enterprise Digital team and help build digital experiences that make a real difference for our customers.

Reporting to the Digital Delivery Manager, you'll work as part of a collaborative cross-functional squad alongside product owners, designers, marketers and platform teams to develop, enhance and support Origin's Digital Platform. This is a hands-on development role where you'll take ownership of technical solutions from design through to deployment, while helping deliver a seamless customer experience across our digital channels.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop, enhance and support customer-facing digital applications across cloud and on-premise platforms, delivering high-quality solutions that improve the customer experience.
• Take end-to-end ownership of technical solutions, from analysis and design through to development, testing, deployment and ongoing support.
• Build modern front-end applications using React, while developing robust backend integrations with relational databases and event streaming platforms.
• Design, develop and integrate RESTful APIs, working closely with Product Owners, UX/UI Designers and engineers to deliver scalable digital solutions.
• Resolve complex application issues, identify root causes and drive automation and continuous improvement across the platform.

About You

You'll be passionate about building modern digital applications and enjoy working in collaborative Agile teams where you'll have the opportunity to influence technical outcomes.

We're looking for experience with:

• ReactJS, HTML5, CSS3 and modern JavaScript (ES6/ES7).
• Kotlin and Spring Boot for backend development.
• Relational databases (RDBMS) and backend integration.
• Event streaming technologies, such as Kafka.
• Auth0 or a similar authentication and identity platform.
• RESTful APIs, JSON integration and distributed version control (Git).
• Modern front-end tooling and automated testing frameworks.
• Working collaboratively with Product Owners, UX/UI Designers and engineers to deliver high-quality customer experiences.
• A continuous improvement mindset, with a passion for learning new technologies and solving complex technical problems.
