The business develops customer-facing software used by healthcare organisations across Australia and internationally, making a real difference.

About the role

Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Principal Engineer, you'll play a key role in the ongoing development and enhancement of the company's core software platform while helping to grow and support a highly capable engineering team.
