About The Role This is a true platform engineering role focused on a core processing framework and algorithms

in Python, with significant work in the 3D domain. This is not a standard backend/frontend/web

role, and not data engineering. You will own critical framework functionality, collaborate across

platform and ML teams, and shape system design as the team scales.

What You'll Do

Build and evolve a Python-based processing framework and algorithms

Integrate large-scale processing with cloud infrastructure (without being "infra-only")

Partner with DevOps, 3D web architecture, and ML engineers

Support and coordinate with an offshore engineering team

Take over core areas of framework ownership and drive meaningful improvements in

throughput, quality, and reliability

About The Team You'll be joining the Sydney platform team, working alongside a senior engineer who will mentor

you. The team collaborates closely with 4 additional platform engineers (2 DevOps, 2 3D web

architecture), 3 senior ML team members in Sydney, and an offshore team of 6 engineers in

Pakistan.

What We're Looking For

You'll Need

• 5+ years of relevant software engineering experience
• Strong Python skills, including comfort with NumPy
• Cloud fundamentals
• Conceptual 3D reasoning ability
• Containerisation experience (Docker) and Linux proficiency
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across teams and time zones

Nice To Have

• GCP or AWS cloud experience
• Docker/containerisation
• CI/CD pipelines
• Prefect/Ray for data pipelines
• MongoDB

Relevant Background

We're Particularly Interested In Candidates From The Following Domains

• 3D processing / point clouds
• Photogrammetry
• Geospatial (if truly 3D-conceptual)
• Computer vision / image morphology
• Robotics / perception
• Scientific computing
• Simulation
• Graphics-adjacent processing pipelines

What Success Looks Like

In Your First 90 Days

• Onboard into the framework architecture and core processing algorithms
• Take ownership of areas previously held by the departing engineer
• Establish working rhythms with the Sydney and offshore teams
• Ship your first meaningful improvements or bug fixes

At The 1-year Mark

• The core processing framework is stable, scalable, and better documented
• Measurable improvements in throughput, quality, and reliability
• Strong cross-team trust established
• Effective offshore execution cadence in place

Growth & Advancement

This role offers a clear path toward a senior position, with the opportunity to grow into a lead or

principal engineer role within 3–5 years.
