Analyst/Developer

Why work with us?
 

At Council, we’re proud of our region. We collaborate with community to achieve truly sustainable outcomes, enhance our enviable lifestyle, and create award-winning places and spaces that are uniquely Sunshine Coast. So, if you love it here as much as we do, and you want to shape our region for the future – you’ll want to join our team!

With the vision to be Australia’s most sustainable region -Connected. Liveable. Thriving, our region is a model of sustainability, where caring for our environment, creating vibrant communities and growing our local economy is a way of life.

About the Role
 

Our developers create the enterprise systems that keep Council running efficiently — and the apps that make life simpler and safer for more than 330,000 residents. If you’re a curious and motivated developer who loves solving complex problems and building things that matter, this is your chance to join a team that’s shaping the region’s digital future. 

As an Analyst/Developer, you’ll:
 

• Design, build, and maintain secure, high-performing applications and APIs using .NET and Azure. 
• Create and integrate systems that improve how Council works — from data exchange to customer-facing apps. 
• Work within a DevOps culture using CI/CD pipelines, Git, and modern cloud services. 
• Collaborate across projects that blend AI, automation, and enterprise integration. 
• Share knowledge and continuously improve through peer reviews, mentoring, and collaboration. 
• Help shape the digital experience for both the community and the people who serve it. 

About you
 

You might come from a background in software development, enterprise integration, or full-stack engineering — what matters most is curiosity and a drive to keep learning. You’ll have: 
 

• Experience with C#, .NET, and modern web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). 
• Familiarity with Azure, API development, and SQL Server. 
• Understanding of CI/CD, version control (Git), and modern development practices. 
• A passion for clean, testable, maintainable code. 
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with a willingness to collaborate and share ideas. 

If you’re more experienced (Level 6), you’ll also bring technical leadership — mentoring others, guiding architecture decisions, and contributing to standards that raise the bar across Council.
