About CSIRO
As Australia's national science agency, CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.
Many of our iconic innovations were once considered impossible until someone, just like you, joined us and took on the challenge.
The opportunity
CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) supports marine science through world-class infrastructure, data systems and technical expertise.
Within the Engineering and Technology Program, the Integrated Data Systems (IDS) Group enables access to high-quality marine data for researchers and stakeholders across Australia.
The team develops and maintains digital platforms that support curation, publication and reporting of marine research data collected aboard the Marine National Facility (MNF) vessel RV Investigator and from NCMI's infrastructure and biological collections.
Working closely with internal and external collaborators, the team delivers reliable, user-friendly tools that support scientific discovery and operational transparency.
As a Software Engineer you will design, develop and maintain web-based tools and data infrastructure systems that support the management and dissemination of marine research data.
You will uplift existing platforms, support database components used for research and reporting on MNF activity, and collaborate with stakeholders to meet evolving scientific and operational needs.
Your high-level duties will include
Contributing to innovative products and services that increase the usability of MNF and other scientific data sets
Designing, developing, deploying and maintaining data and information systems, services and web-based tools for the management and visualisation of a wide range of scientific data, adding value to the data collections
Using software engineering best-practices such as version control, continuous integration, automated test suites and work-item tracking software in daily activities
Liaising with key stakeholders within CSIRO and nationally, working with data providers and recipients and experts on data interoperability, collection, processing, metadata, publication and archiving
