  • Realize your full potential by contributing to world-leading technology development.
  • An outstanding opportunity to become part of Australia's largest data innovation group!
  • Join Data61's Engineering and Design program and help provide access to and visualize geospatial data.
 
Data61’s Terria team have an immediate need for a creative and adaptable Early Career Software Engineer to build elegant solutions for unsolved problems, take ownership of their area, and to learn and grow to your full potential. In this role you will work in an open, collaborative environment with a culture of trust and individual empowerment.  You will also have the opportunity to enjoy flexible working arrangements.
 
As a member of the Terria team you will work on the open source TerriaJS library itself - our Cesium/WebGL based geospatial visualisation software - as well as projects using TerriaJS such as the NationalMap, AREMI, NEII Viewer, GEOGLAM RAPP Map, TerriaCube, and others.
 
 
This position provides the opportunity for you to:
  • Become a core developer for TerriaJS and help us add cool new features, UI design and development, fix bugs, and much more.
  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of both geospatial and non-geospatial web services for use by TerriaJS and other platforms.
  • Transform data in order to visualise and interact with it on TerriaJS.
  • If the right tool for a job doesn’t exist then help us and potentially the geospatial community by making one.
  • Communicate and collaborate with stakeholders to enable them to publish their data, manage data layers and catalogues on our TerriaJS projects.
  • Manage the cloud infrastructure used to host and run our systems.

 

The large majority of code we write is open source.

 
The Terria team is a part of the Engineering & Design program in Data61 and is a fantastic place to work where you will get to experiment with different solutions to problems. You will be encouraged to choose your own tools, and have the freedom to come up with your own solutions to problems.
 
We code mostly in JavaScript, and occasionally some Haskell and Java, but sometimes use shell scripting, Python, Scala, or other languages and tools when they are the right technologies for the job. We value diversity, and welcome creative approaches that help us solve problems elegantly and simply. We encourage bringing a range of perspectives to our work. Technology is constantly changing and we strive to stay ahead of the curve
