The Opportunity

• Full-time opportunity with access to flexible/remote working arrangements
• Join CSIRO – Australia’s National Science and Innovation Agency!

CSIRO Mineral Resources (CMR) is one of the largest minerals research and development groups globally, with a proud track record in delivering innovation and solutions across the mineral resources value chain. We thrive on innovation harnessed by the diversity of the minds and lived experiences of our team and apply our expert knowledge and specialised research to provide innovation that solves the complex problems faced by minerals companies, mining equipment, technology, and services companies (METS), government, and other industry stakeholders.

As a Principal Software Engineer, you’ll join the 4D Internet team to architect and help guide the scaling of our cloud platform. You will be joining a small cross-disciplinary team practising agile techniques centred on the principles of Continuous Delivery, and you will be expected to proactively contribute to a culture of psychological safety and continuous learning. We are seeking someone with a strong track record within the DevOps space, who is an outcome-driven analytical problem solver and is passionate about emerging technologies.

Your duties will include:

• Designing and developing quality software solutions that are demonstrably secure, loosely coupled, well encapsulated, resilient and perform to specification
• Treating the quality attributes of the system as first-class concerns (security, performance, throughput, and stability)
• Demonstrating designs that are SOLID and drive the development of the code base through TDD
• Identifying weak signals in downstream processes and working to improve value stream feedback loops
• Demonstrating high engagement in the entire lifecycle of product changes, from designing to deployment and prioritizing outcomes over output
• Actively pursuing automation opportunities to remove bottlenecks and hardship in the technology value stream
• Adhering to team standards and participating in a culture of good engineering discipline and scientific rigour

• Prior experience with application software development, and modern engineering practices to architect and collaborate on the development, deployment and monitoring of web applications in Azure (or AWS) within a live production environment
• Prior experience with Infrastructure as Code, infrastructure testing strategies and tools such as terraform/ansible
• Strong ability to drive the development of .NET microservices that integrate with event-driven architecture and databases
• Show a considerably high level of trust, respect and empathy towards others, and be a highly curious individual on a path of gathering and sharing new information

Desirable

• Experience with 3D game engines (Unity, Unreal)
• Experience in managing the reliability, load balancing, monitoring, and logging of cloud-based systems, e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk
• Experience with tooling for Event Driven Architecture and Microservices e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, AKKA.NET and developing .NET core API’s
