We are looking for a Graduate Software Developer to join our R&D team based in Newcastle.

We're looking for a motivated learner who’s focused on growth, eager to build their technical skills, and committed to becoming a strong, contributing teammate. In this role, you'll work on well-scoped tasks using Java, apply feedback to improve, and actively engage with your team to solve problems and deliver high-quality solutions. The ideal candidate is adaptable, proactive, and open to continuous learning through collaboration and self-driven development.

A day in the life might be something like this:

• Use Java as the coding language of choice.
• Flexible, adaptable to change, and have a growth mentality, learning quickly from feedback.
• Effectively manage your time and well-being to meet commitments, raising concerns about scope or timeline as needed.
• Proactively address blockers by asking for support.
• Actively participate in team discussions, ask clarifying questions, and follow documented processes.

But note, this list isn’t exhaustive and we want you to bring your skills to the role and work with our Technical Lead to make the role yours.

The ideal profile were looking for might be something like this:

• Recent graduate with a Bachelor of Computer Science or Computer Engineering
• Any scripting languages
• NoSQL Databases
• Kube/Containerization knowledge

Again - this list isn’t exhaustive but will give a solid basis of knowledge to be successful in the role.

You should join NextGen if:

You value being a part of an Australian owned business that truly lives its values, genuinely values work life balance and sees it as a critical ingredient to enabling people to bring their whole selves to work. Ask our team, they will tell you about our focus on supporting you and your growth. We also have:

• Plenty of social activities;
• Spectacular views in a modern space for when you work from our North Sydney office;
• Reimbursement allowance for your home office set up.

Please note: Due to the nature of this role, we will only be considering applicants who are Australian citizens or permanent residents.
