This is a greenfield environment where software engineers will have the chance to build systems from the ground up across distributed systems, data engineering, automation, developer tooling, AI enablement and product engineering.

What you’ll do
Own the design and delivery of software components end to end, including interfaces, data models and storage
Design and build distributed systems that remain reliable under load, including handling partial failure, backpressure and recovery
Remain hands-on with coding, code reviews and technical design
Lead small groups of engineers through delivery, breaking down work, sequencing priorities and maintaining design consistency
Own the full production lifecycle of what you build, including testing, deployment, monitoring, on-call and incident follow-up
Work closely with product, engineering and operations teams to turn loosely defined requirements into scalable technical solutions
Contribute to CI/CD, observability and developer experience

What we’re looking for
3+ years of professional software engineering experience (in AI Infrastructure/Data Centers,



Hyperscalers, leading tech/SaaS companies or Big 4 Banks - experience from these companies is paramount)
Robust proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, TypeScript, Java, C# or Rust
Experience designing software components and owning technical decisions
Practical experience building and operating distributed systems in production
Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, concurrency and system design
Experience owning production services, including monitoring, on-call and incident response
Experience leading a small group of engineers through delivery, formally or informally
Robust written and verbal communication skills
Experience across data engineering, automation, developer tooling, AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Terraform, high-volume data pipelines or telemetry would be highly regarded.

The role can be hybrid in Sydney, or fully remote if you’re based elsewhere in Australia.
