Senior Software Engineer | Sydney, Hybrid | Python, with C/C++/Rust | Research-adjacent
  
A cutting-edge deep-tech company is building the infrastructure layer that will power the next era of advanced computational technologies. Their organisation blends systems-level thinking, scientific software, and modern cloud development to turn complex research breakthroughs into scalable, production-grade products.
  
You’ll collaborate closely with researchers, systems engineers, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions that integrate seamlessly across SDKs, cloud services, and instrumentation tooling. This is an ideal role for someone who loves backend engineering, cares about system behaviour at a low level, and enjoys working at the intersection of research and production software.
  
Senior Software Engineer Responsibilities

• Develop scalable backend services in Python that serve as the foundation for advanced control systems.
• Maintain and evolve the instruction compilation stack, transforming high-level program descriptions into hardware-level execution formats.
• Translate experimental requirements into production software, bridging scientific workflows with robust engineering practices.
• Run experiments on real hardware, validating compiler output and diagnosing behaviour on physical devices.
• Design high-performance communication layers using modern RPC and API protocols (gRPC, REST, GraphQL).
• Champion code quality, best practices, documentation, and testing disciplines across the team.
• Contribute to major architectural decisions that define the next generation of the control platform.
• Work cross-functionally with frontend, infrastructure, product, and research teams to deliver integrated capabilities.
• Perform additional duties aligned with your expertise and background.

  
Senior Software Engineer Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• 5+ years building backend systems with Python in a professional environment.
• Experience writing maintainable, well-tested, production-grade code.
• Ability to mentor or support more junior engineers.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working with multidisciplinary teams.
• Background or interest in hardware control, scientific computing, or pulse-level programming (e.g., domain-specific languages or similar).
• Familiarity with Python web frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
• Experience contributing to technical decision-making in R&D-heavy or early-stage engineering environments.

Bonus Experience

• Exposure to compiler theory or parser design (e.g., PEG/LL grammars, MLIR, LLVM).
• Experience extending Python with C++, Rust, or other systems languages.
• Understanding of adjacent domains such as FPGA development or real-time/low-latency systems.

  
This is a fulltime position at a truly awesome company, who are arguably a global leader in their field.
