Software Engineer | 3D Processing Platform
Sydney | Core Framework | Python | Real Engineering

This is not web.
Not CRUD.
Not “data engineer but with a 3D buzzword”.

This is a core processing platform role sitting at the heart of a production 3D pipeline.

If you like owning real systems, shaping architecture, and improving actual algorithmic throughput — keep reading.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of a Python-based processing framework that underpins large-scale 3D workflows.

This is platform engineering in the literal sense: core algorithms, performance, system design, reliability.

You will:

• Build and evolve a Python processing framework (NumPy-heavy, algorithmic)

• Work deeply in 3D domains (point clouds, geometry, spatial reasoning)

• Integrate large-scale processing into cloud infrastructure (without becoming “just infra”)

• Partner with ML, DevOps and 3D web architecture engineers

• Coordinate execution with a high-performing offshore team

• Improve throughput, quality, observability and stability across the pipeline

You're not building APIs for dashboards. You're shaping the engine.

What We’re Looking For

Core:

• 5+ years software engineering experience

• Strong Python (comfortable with NumPy and scientific stacks)

• Solid cloud fundamentals

• Genuine 3D conceptual reasoning ability

• Docker + Linux fluency

• Clear communicator across time zones

Nice to Have:

• AWS or GCP

• CI/CD exposure

• Prefect or Ray

• MongoDB

• Experience improving processing pipelines at scale

Backgrounds That Translate Well

• 3D processing / point cloud systems

• Photogrammetry pipelines

• Geospatial (true 3D, not just maps)

• Computer vision / morphology

• Robotics perception stacks

• Scientific computing

• Simulation engines

• Graphics-adjacent processing frameworks

If you’ve worked on perception for drones, SLAM pipelines in robotics, reconstruction from multi-view imagery, or scientific simulation engines, this is the right flavour.

What Success Looks Like

First 90 Days

• Understand framework architecture and core algorithms

• Take ownership of key modules

• Establish cadence with local + offshore teams

• Ship meaningful fixes or performance wins

At 12 Months

• Framework is measurably more stable and scalable

• Throughput and quality improvements are quantifiable

• Documentation isn’t tribal knowledge anymore

• Cross-team trust is high

• Offshore execution runs smoothly and predictably

Who This Suits

Someone who:

• Gets satisfaction from making core systems faster and cleaner

• Likes algorithmic problem solving in spatial domains

• Wants ownership without bureaucracy

• Is comfortable sitting between ML and infrastructure without being boxed into either

If you’re bored of shipping endpoints and want to work on the engine room of a 3D platform, this is that move.
