Software Engineer

You'll join a technical team responsible for integrating tools for processing radio/radar system data, where the core challenge is processing large volumes of data quickly and correlating results in real time where performance and precision both matter. You’ll be working across a Python (Flask) backend and a React frontend that handle data processing and user interface respectively. You'll take features from idea to production, help shape architectural decisions, and mentor developers earlier in their careers. It's a role with genuine autonomy and room to influence how the system is built.

Responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end, from requirements through delivery, including testing and documentation.
• Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to technical design decisions that influence the broader system.
• Mentor junior team members through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing.
• Drive improvements in code quality, performance, and testing coverage across the codebase.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

• Must hold an Australian Government security clearance (NV1).

Desirable

• Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF), radar, or signal processing concepts.
• Experience in defence, aerospace, or other safety-critical technical domains.
• Familiarity with real-time or high-throughput data systems.

Skills

• Strong Python and JavaScript development skills; hands-on experience with Flask and React.

• Familiarity with REST API design and real-time data handling (e.g. WebSockets, streaming pipelines).

• Experience with multiprocessing and multithreading for concurrent, real-time workloads.

• Familiarity with SQL and relational database systems.

• Experience with Git-based version control workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with Docker and containerised deployment workflows.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with a track record of delivering reliable, maintainable software.

• Familiarity with system design principles and the ability to evaluate trade-offs across technical approaches.

• Effective communicator who can translate technical concepts for both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Demonstrated ability to estimate time and effort for tasks and deliver against those estimates.

• Track record of delivering to schedule, with sound judgement about how to prioritise tasking under competing demands.
