Unlocking Cosmic Secrets
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is an ambitious project to construct the world's largest radio telescopes, enabling unprecedented exploration of the cosmos. To support the vast data output from these instruments, SKAO works with national SKA Regional Centres (SRCs). The Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) delivers data infrastructure, tools, and support to the astronomy community.
This role sits within the AusSRC team at a leading research institution in Sydney, with a strong collaborative link with the Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO) team at Macquarie University. A key focus will be the integration and alignment of AusSRC systems with AAO's Data Central platform, a national science data service supporting research across the electromagnetic spectrum.
As a Senior Software Developer joining this dynamic team, you will be instrumental in developing and supporting software components that enable seamless data access, processing, and analysis. You will work closely with both AusSRC and Data Central teams to ensure interoperability and technical excellence across platforms.
