Mid-level dev role at AAF. Build secure, scalable identity systems with Rails, AWS & Kubernetes. Real ownership, real impact, modern stack.
Not every dev role is built the same.
Some are tickets, stand-ups, repeat.
This one? A bit more considered.
You'll still be writing clean, production-ready code. But you'll also be part of a team where understanding systems, communicating clearly, and thinking beyond just the task actually matters.
Let's talk AAF.
The Australian Access Federation sits right at the centre of Australia's research and education ecosystem.
They power secure access for 1.5+ million users across universities, research institutes and government.
Identity. Authentication. Access. At scale.
Quietly critical infrastructure - and genuinely interesting problems to solve.
Inside the team?
Modern stack. Strong DevSecOps practices. AI-assisted engineering that's actually embedded (not just talked about).
Smart people. Low ego. Thoughtful engineering.
The GiG
This is a mid-level Software Developer role with real ownership.
Rails is at the heart of the platform. So if you've worked with Ruby on Rails, you'll feel right at home.
That said, they're open to strong backend engineers coming from Golang or Java backgrounds, especially if you've built modern web applications and are keen to get into Rails.
You'll be working across the stack. From AWS and Kubernetes through to application code. Build, ship, monitor, improve.
What you'll actually be doing
