Back End Developer

Hello!

We’re looking for a Backend Developer (Practitioner level) with a DevSecOps focus to join Today’s Technology team.

You’ll be someone who loves building reliable systems, sweating the details, and shipping thoughtful work — but who also enjoys working closely with humans (clients, designers, producers, researchers). You’ll be trusted, visible, and a core part of project delivery.

About Today

Today is Australia’s most awarded social impact agency. We use design and technology to make positive change happen — at pace and at scale.

Our team includes strategists, researchers, designers, technologists and makers of all kinds. We partner with organisations across government, not-for-profit and industry to tackle complex social and environmental challenges — with a deep commitment to care, craft, and meaningful outcomes.

It’s an exciting time to join our Technology team. We have more than a decade of award-winning work behind us, and we’re investing in growing and deepening our technology offering over the coming years.

We’re a purpose-driven organisation. If you want to spend your days helping impact organisations make a difference, this is the place for you.

What’s the role?

As Today’s Backend Developer (DevSecOps) , you’ll design, implement and maintain the backend foundations of our client work — from APIs and integrations through to cloud infrastructure, security operations, and deployment workflows.

We build scalable digital products and experiences for our client partners. Our work often includes :

• setting up greenfield cloud environments
• integrating into existing platforms and ecosystems
• contributing to delivery across multiple projects at once

This is a fast-paced agency environment (not a product role) and success relies on being practical, collaborative, and highly accountable.

Just as importantly : you’ll work directly with clients . You’ll be expected to communicate clearly, explain trade-offs, navigate ambiguity, and solve problems alongside clients with care and confidence.

You’ll spend your time doing things like :
