We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Data Engineering

Compensation: $175,000-$235,000 including superannuation, employee equity plan grant & world class benefits.

We're currently looking for a senior engineer to join our Identity team, who are on the cutting edge of software engineering and mathematics, building out some of the most unique and scaleable systems utilising graph theory currently being built. For this role we’re looking for someone with strong back end engineering experience, specifically with large scale data and complex systems. This team thrives in turning ambiguity into clarity, being able to connect the dots of over 2 billion edges into usable, highly relevant data that feeds directly into our market-leading machine learning systems.

About the Role:

• Build and scale complex software systems built on machine learning, graph theory and large scale data
• Solve technical problems of the highest scope, complexity, and ambiguity as an individual contributor
• Proactively identify and propose improvements to the current system architecture that emphasises performance, reliability and scalability
• Act as both an engineer and system architect, as this team is constantly researching and developing new theories and ways of working
• Work directly with ML teams to productionise and utilise your work in real time.

Requirements

About You:

• 7+ years experience as a software engineer, ideally working with and around large amounts of data
• Solid experience using Go, Python or Scala is ideal, but any strong back end experience is fine.
• Familiarity working with complex, distributed systems and cloud-based infrastructure
• Ability to turn ambiguity into clarity, and being comfortable treading new ground
• Exposure to, or knowledge of, machine learning, graph theory or algorithms would be a great fit

We work together as one aligned team never letting egos get in the way of brilliant ideas. We value diversity, transparency and smart humble people who enjoy building a disruptive business together. We pride ourselves on being a force for good as we make the world better.

• Extra leave (bonus annual leave, sabbatical leave etc.) 
• Work with the greatest talent in town
• See the world! We have offices in New York, Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo and London

We believe we’re better together. We love spending time together and are in the office most days (teams are in the office 4 days per week). We also get that you need to balance your life and your commitments so you have the flexibility to manage your own hours and can spend up to a week of every quarter working from anywhere.
