Job description

Base pay range

A$140,000.00/yr - A$190,000.00/yr

An opportunity exists for a seasoned Senior Algorithms Engineer to join a cross-functional team building advanced real-time detection and tracking systems. This role involves shaping the evolution of a sensor fusion engine designed to detect and respond to next‑gen aerial threats, with a particular focus on swarm tracking and performance optimisation.

Working within a fast‑paced, collaborative environment, this engineer will apply expertise in algorithm development, performance tuning, and real‑time data processing to deliver high‑performance solutions in live deployments.

Responsibilities

• Lead innovation within a sensor fusion engine by improving tracking capabilities for high‑density threat scenarios
• Design, profile, and optimise real‑time, data‑intensive applications using multi‑threading, language bindings, and GPU acceleration
• Implement and assess novel tracking algorithms, drawing on current academic research and internal validation
• Maintain CI/CD infrastructure that enforces high code quality, runtime stability, and release integrity
• Contribute to cross‑disciplinary projects by collaborating with engineers across software, embedded, and AI teams
• Apply structured engineering principles including testing, version control, and modular refactoring
• Assist in troubleshooting system behaviour and supporting downstream users in integration efforts
• Support observability and diagnostics through performance metrics and system instrumentation

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical discipline
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering or algorithm development roles
• Proficiency in modern C++ with additional experience in Python or other OOP languages
• Experience working with GPU‑based computation frameworks (e.g. CUDA, TensorRT)
• Familiarity with software performance profiling and code optimisation techniques
• Comfortable using CMake, CI/CD pipelines, unit testing frameworks, and Git
• Experience with Linux‑based development and Docker‑based environments
• Strong grasp of data structures, computational complexity, and applied mathematics
• Knowledge of multi‑object tracking, sensor fusion, or multi‑sensor systems
• Background in applied machine learning or probabilistic inference
• Familiarity with system monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, etc.

Ideal Profile

• Highly analytical with a deep interest in performance‑critical systems
• Passionate about solving real‑world challenges using elegant, efficient code
• Capable of leading the transition from research concepts to production‑grade implementations
• Thrives in agile, fast‑paced, and technically challenging environments
• Comfortable working independently or collaboratively across functional areas
• Dedicated to continuous learning and excellence in engineering craft
