Hate terrorists and human traffickers? Want to build the technology that stops them? Good.
Take on high-stakes engineering challenges that directly support law enforcement and intelligence agencies - while enjoying full autonomy, top-tier benefits, and work that actually matters.
You'll help build Open Source Intelligence tools used to fight terrorism, human trafficking and child exploitation. You'll work with cutting-edge AI, handle massive datasets, and solve critical problems with real-world consequences.
And you'll do all this remotely from anywhere in Australia, with hours that flex around your life, not the other way around.
Other benefits include long weekends every month, extra annual leave on top of the standard 20 days and 20 weeks' paid parental leave - all designed to give you more control over your time without sacrificing career momentum.
What you'll do
Work in a small, highly skilled team building full-stack systems with and PHP (plus some Golang) across multiple intelligence platforms. These tools are used by agencies to identify threats and protect vulnerable people.
Leverage modern AI models to add value and improve intelligence capabilities. You'll own complex, high-impact projects from start to finish - solving tough engineering problems that few get to tackle.
Design shared tools that boost team performance, and work with over 100 terabytes of data, scaling APIs to handle thousands of requests per minute. This is sensitive, high-stakes engineering with major security implications.
What you'll need
* Proven experience with and PHP, and at least 5 years in software engineering
* Ability to work and thrive in ambiguous situations, asking the right questions and finding solutions without a playbook
* Australian Citizenship and the capacity to obtain security clearance
