Software Developer — Pacific Community, Nouméa (KK000126)

This is a software-engineering career embedded in Pacific fisheries science rather than a conventional technology business. The developer maintains systems used by SPC and Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission members, including the Tufman2 tuna-fisheries database and mobile tools for collecting fisheries and environmental observations. Work combines full-stack development, scientific-data infrastructure and practical support for national fisheries staff. Its unusual appeal is the connection between engineering decisions and regional ocean management: reliable applications and data workflows help countries collect, validate and use information supporting fisheries research and climate initiatives. The position is based in Nouméa, with multicultural collaboration and travel expectations.

• An experienced engineer can apply software, database and mobile skills to fisheries management and climate-related data across Pacific countries.
• Full-time international contract based in Nouméa, budgeted for three years; renewal depends on funding and performance. Duties include fisheries information systems, mobile applications, integration workflows and user support.
