Job summary

Orica Limited is seeking a Senior Software Developer to join the Digital Solutions team and shape OREPro 3D, used globally for rock movement simulation and blast planning. You will contribute across the stack from data models to 3D rendering, React UI, and web APIs.

You will work in a hybrid, partly remote team with colleagues across Australia and overseas, reporting to the lead developer. The role demands ownership, strong judgment, and collaboration within a small, expert group.

Qualifications

• We have built web applications, from the interface through to the API and database behind it.
• We work in TypeScript and React, and we care more about how you think than which stack you have used.
• We have owned something end to end: you shipped it and were still looking after it a year later.
• You have good judgement in a mature codebase about what to fix now, what to raise a ticket for, and what to leave alone.
• You say so when something is wrong. A spec that will not work on site, a design that will frustrate a geologist, a piece of the codebase that needs fixing.
• You are comfortable profiling and working inside a memory budget.
• You get real work out of AI tooling, or you would like to. We use it heavily and are still working out how to use it well.
• You have a track record of working effectively in cross-functional teams and delivering high-quality software.
• Also useful: Three.js or other real-time 3D, Rust, Electron, optimisation algorithms, vector maths and spatial data structures, physics or simulation software, and mining data.

Responsibilities

• Building features and fixing bugs across the whole application, from the data model through the 3D rendering to the React interface and web APIs.
• Keeping large datasets fast. A project can hold millions of blocks and still has to run on a site laptop, so memory and performance shape nearly every feature.
• Connecting OREPro 3D to Predict, our blast simulation: inputs, job tracking, tuning sweeps, results and replays. The solver itself is written by another team.
• Industrialising the optimisation and geometry algorithms that cut dig polygons, so a geologist can run them under production pressure.
