See yourself working here

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in building the systems that support dynamic pricing and help customer-owned energy resources like batteries and EVs participate more effectively in energy markets. You'll design and deliver scalable, high-performance software that integrates real-time data, complex models, and cloud-based systems to power smarter, more sustainable grid operations. Working closely with product managers, data scientists, and electrical engineers, you’ll help translate cutting-edge ideas into robust, working code.

This role is based at Haymarket office in Sydney and we offer hybrid working.

This role is for you if you can:

Our hiring decisions are not only based on your experience and skills, but your passion, attitude and alignment to our core values.

• Bring deep experience in Python and another language such as C#, with a strong focus on backend development.
• Can take complex engineering and scientific concepts, like energy pricing models, and build them into clean, scalable systems. An electrical engineering/maths background helps, but it's not required.
• Hands-on Sysadmin and DevOps experience, able to deploy and maintain containerised and Azure-native services such as managed databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) and Azure App Services.
• Have some exposure to Python machine learning tools such as sklearn and Apache SparkML on Data Platforms (e.g. Databricks).
• Are comfortable using AI coding assistants, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar tools, as part of your everyday development workflow.
• Bring genuine curiosity to your work: you actively seek out new tools, techniques, and domains, and can demonstrate how that learning has shaped what you build.
• Write reliable, well-tested code; automated unit and integration testing is part of how you work, not an afterthought.
• Work comfortably in a small, agile and multi-disciplinary team. A well-rounded skill set and strong communication are appreciated.

Spark your interest!

Our hiring decisions are not only based on your experience and skills, but your passion, attitude and alignment to our core values.
