About the Role

Join the Apical team in Sydney to design, build, and maintain the Nuix Platform and Business APIs and the REST SDK. You will deliver secure, well-documented, and dependable API capabilities, working closely with the Manager of Engineering, the Nuix Product organization, and the scrum team. As a mid-level Software Engineer, you will own user stories and features from design to release, write well-tested code, maintain documentation, and actively participate in engineering discussions. You will grow into senior scope while working alongside senior engineers and the architecture group.

Responsibilities

Deliver user stories and small features end-to-end, from design through to release, with high quality and minimal rework.
Design, build and maintain secure, scalable REST APIs across the Nuix platform, including request validation, consistent response contracts, versioning and backwards compatibility.
Implement and maintain authentication and authorisation flows, including API key issuance and exchange, token-based authentication and scope-based access control.
Keep API documentation current and usable, including OpenAPI / Swagger definitions and developer-facing guides.
Write meaningful unit and integration tests, and hold the team's coverage and quality gates.
Investigate and fix build and test failures in the CI/CD pipeline, and keep deployment paths healthy across cloud and local deployment environments.
Apply secure coding practices and act on findings from static analysis and dependency scanning tooling.
Break work into small, releasable increments so the team can deliver early and deliver often.
Participate in planning, backlog grooming and technical design discussions across multiple products, providing reasonable estimates and flagging risk early.
Collaborate with architects, QA, DevOps and other product teams to ensure consistency, maximise code reuse and achieve seamless integration between projects.
Share knowledge through documentation, demos and enablement material, and support the onboarding of newer team members.
Perform code reviews with teaching intent, explaining the why and not only the what.
Adopt AI coding assistants effectively to accelerate ramp-up in unfamiliar areas and improve design exploration, and share what works with the team.
Provide maintenance support as scheduled during business hours.

Requirements

3-5 years of relevant programming experience.
Demonstrated experience building and maintaining production REST APIs in a service or microservice architecture.
Willingness to work across the stack.
Practical understanding of identity and access management concepts such as OAuth2 / OIDC, JWT and API keys.
Solid grasp of testing practices, version control and CI/CD fundamentals.
Familiarity with containerised deployment and infrastructure as code.
Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems on a daily basis.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment with a sense of urgency and attention to detail.
Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively across multiple teams and multiple time-zones.
Familiar with current industry trends and understanding of development methodologies and standards.
