About the Role
An exciting opportunity exists for a Disconnected Specialist to design and deliver mobile and field-operable digital solutions that function reliably in environments with limited, intermittent, or no network connectivity. This is a long-term, multi-year contract offering exposure to cutting-edge technology and the chance to work with multidisciplinary teams on internationally significant projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, build, and enhancement of mobile and offline-capable digital applications using modern front-end and cross-platform technologies.
- Deliver offline-first capabilities including synchronisation logic, secure local storage, data-integrity management, and conflict-resolution patterns.
- Optimise applications for use in field conditions, including low-bandwidth networks, intermittent connectivity, harsh environments, and device constraints.
- Ensure solutions meet government privacy, security, and data-protection requirements for mobile devices operating outside secure networks.
- Partner with UX teams to design mobile experiences that remain functional and intuitive during connectivity drops.
- Implement responsive design and accessibility standards consistent with WCAG 2.1 AA and international digital service standards.
- Develop and maintain robust APIs, caching strategies, and service-worker patterns to support mobile edge scenarios.
- Conduct performance tuning on mobile and offline-capable applications to ensure fast load times, efficient local storage usage, and reliable sync cycles.
- Participate in architecture and design discussions, advising on mobile and offline technical direction and patterns.
- Perform code reviews, implement automated testing for mobile and front-end components, and support CI/CD deployment pipelines.
- Mentor developers in mobile development, offline patterns, and secure field-ready application practices.
- Provide technical support for field-based testing, pilot deployments, and troubleshooting real-world mobility scenarios.
- Australian Citizenship and AGSVA Baseline Security Clearance required; NV1 Clearance preferred.
- Strong experience developing mobile or cross-platform front-end applications using technologies such as React Native, Flutter, or responsive web frameworks.
- Demonstrated capability delivering offline-enabled or low-connectivity applications, including use of service workers, local caching, IndexedDB or secure device storage, and sync engines.
- Experience working with device capabilities such as GPS, camera, sensors, secure keystores, and mobile OS permissions.
- Understanding of mobile security, including device hardening, secure local data storage, encryption, authentication, and MDM/MAM practices.
- Proven ability to build resilient user interfaces that degrade gracefully during connectivity loss.
- Experience with RESTful APIs, message-based integration, and designing for constrained or intermittent networks.
- Strong skills in debugging mobile performance issues, memory usage problems, and sync failures.
- Experience writing automated tests for mobile applications and supporting CI/CD workflows.
- Ability to work independently, manage complex problems, and provide technical leadership and guidance.
- Strong communication skills, with experience collaborating with product owners, field users, designers, and backend engineers.
- Experience developing applications for remote, regional, or tactical field operations.
- Knowledge of secure mobility frameworks used in government or regulated environments.
- Experience integrating with cloud-native architectures and edge-computing patterns.
- Understanding of accessibility needs in mobile-first and field-ready applications.
- Long-term, multi-year contract with extension potential.
- Work on internationally significant mobile and field digital transformation projects.
- Hybrid working arrangements across Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.
- Supportive consultancy environment focused on professional growth and innovation.
