Software Engineer | Full Stack | Botany, Sydney | Onsite (hybrid)
Our client builds some of the most advanced software-defined satellite ground stations in the world. Customers across earth observation, commercial comms and defence-grade space domain awareness. Small senior team, properly technical.
They're hiring a polyglot software engineer to own the entire software stack - embedded firmware through to operator UIs.
The work
* Own end-to-end architecture across embedded, Linux, backend and front-end
* Architect beamformer orchestration for phased array antennas - deterministic, low-latency control
* Build defence-grade software (security, auditability, fault tolerance) alongside commercial satcom applications
* Firmware in C/C++ on RTOS and bare-metal, plus production Linux services on Azure (Pipelines, Terraform, K8s)
* Operator UIs in React, Vue or Angular meeting ground-station reliability standards
* Set engineering standards, drive code quality and review culture
You will bring
* 5+ years experience, across multiple languages
* Deep C/C++ for embedded and systems, strong Python for backend and tooling
* Solid Linux internals knowledge and software architecture chops (REST, microservices, SQL/NoSQL)
* Practical front-end experience in React, Vue or Angular
* Working knowledge of cryptography (TLS, PKI, KMS/HSM) and secure development (OWASP, CERT C/C++)
* Track record on CI/CD pipelines (Azure Pipelines preferred) and observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)
* Confident use of AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude)
* Bonus: beamformer or phased array experience, defence/aerospace background, Azure or security certifications
Why care
* Genuinely full-stack ownership from RTOS firmware to React UIs - almost no Australian shop offers this scope
* Hardware-meets-cloud problems most engineers never get to touch
* Series A stage with ESOP participation - real equity upside, not just a salary
* World-class Australian research being commercialised at pace, with global commercial and defence customers
* Small senior team, minimal committee culture
3 stage interview process. Onsite Botany, currently 3 days a week.
