Job Description
Senior Software Engineer — AI, Platform & Systems
n
We're a privately owned Australian technology and manufacturing business. We design, build and operate our own connected hardware, and we run our own software platform behind it — no off-the-shelf stack, no vendor doing the thinking for us.
n
Right now that platform is carried by a very small team. We're looking for another senior engineer of the same calibre: someone who can own systems end to end, has real judgement about what to build, and can lead the technical direction as we scale.
n
This is not a role where you'll be handed tickets. If you need a spec written for you, this isn't it.

The short version
n
We're a privately owned Australian technology and manufacturing business. We design, build and operate our own connected hardware, and we run our own software platform behind it — no off-the-shelf stack, no vendor doing the thinking for us.
n
Right now that platform is carried by a very small team. We're looking for another senior engineer of the same calibre: someone who can own systems end to end, has real judgement about what to build, and can lead the technical direction as we scale.
n
This is not a role where you'll be handed tickets. If you need a spec written for you, this isn't it.
n
What you'll actually work on
n
n
Core platform — Python/FastAPI services and a React front end that run a nationally deployed fleet of connected devices. Real-time state, telemetry, alerting, reporting.
n
AI applications — building genuinely useful internal and customer-facing AI tooling: LLM-backed assistants, agents that watch data and act on it, retrieval over our own operational data. We're early here and there's a lot of room to shape it.
n
Device and video integration — IP cameras, routers, IoT hardware. ONVIF/RTSP, vendor APIs, low-latency streaming (WebRTC),



and the occasional bit of protocol reverse engineering when the documentation is wrong or missing.
n
ERP implementation — we're rolling out a new ERP across the business. You'll be the technical owner of the integration work: data migration, APIs, connecting the ERP to the platform so the business runs on one set of numbers.
n
Infrastructure — self-hosted Linux, networking, VPNs, deployment. We run our own gear. You ship it, you support it.
n
n
What we're looking for
n
We hire for raw intelligence first. If you're genuinely smart and curious, we'll back you into things you haven't done before.
n
Beyond that:
n
n
5+ years building and shipping production software you were accountable for
n
Strong Python and up-to-date JavaScript/TypeScript (React); comfortable across the full stack
n
Real Linux and networking competence — you're not lost outside a managed cloud console
n
Hands-on experience building with LLMs, not just using them
n
You've integrated messy third-party systems before and enjoyed it more than you should have
n
Clear communicator — you can explain a technical trade‐off to someone who runs the business, not just to other engineers
n
Full Australian working rights and able to work on‐site in western Sydney
n
n
Nice to have:
n
IoT or hardware-adjacent experience, video streaming, ERP or accounting system integration, and any track record of being the person who unblocks everyone else.
n
Why it's worth your time
n
n
Small team, no bureaucracy, direct line to the founder — decisions get made in hours, not quarters
n
You'll see your work running on physical equipment in the field, not just a dashboard
n
Genuine scope to define our AI direction rather than maintain someone else's
n
Brand new facility at Emu Plains, and a business that's growing quickly
n
We pay properly for the right person
