What’s the range of Wi-Fi? 100 feet? 150? What if it was 16 kilometers? 

Sounds crazy, but it would be a game changer for IoT devices operating on coin batteries in remote locations. 

And you could help bring this novel wireless, fabless, Wi-Fi technology to market with the team that invented Wi-Fi over 20 years ago. 

You’ll go on a journey, diving deeper into RTOS than ever before alongside a team of experienced engineers, unlocking new lessons in power management and performance optimisation. 

Alongside Analog, Systems and Digital IC Design Engineers you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of multi-core SoC, WiFi standards, its 11ah variant, IoT applications and networking stacks in a newly created role.  

You'll get a competitive salary, stock options, work from brand new offices a short walk from Central Station with unrivalled city views, coffee expenses covered and regular team events like karaoke nights, running clubs and tape-out parties. 

The work you’ll be doing

You’ll join a firmware team implementing the IEEE 802.11ah standard on state-of-the-art RISC-V multi-core chip architecture. 

You’ll be doing it in a low-regulation, high-potential market as part of a business that’s founded and run by engineers who understand what you need to do your job properly.

There’s a healthy R&D budget, the overall team is still less than 200 people so everyone knows your name and there’s still a real buzz around the office.

What you’ll need

• BSc in Electrical, Electronics, Communication Engineering or Computer Science
• At least 5 years in Firmware development using the C programming language
• Experience using Real-Time Operating Systems, ideally FreeRTOS but open to ThreadX, Zephyr and alike. 
• Experience with wireless connectivity protocols - WiFi, BLE, LoRa, Bluetooth ect 

If that’s you, you can look forward to working alongside some pretty smart people who genuinely enjoy what they do. They take pride in their work. They work hard (for eight hours a day 4 days a week in office, one day from home). They have fun.

If you’re reading this from overseas, we can also help with your relocation costs and visa sponsorship.

Doctors can kill one patient at a time. But Engineers are much more efficient.

Engineers would do it at scale. 

And we’re looking for scale here. You’ll build a Kubernetes-based platform containing various workloads, including GPU-accelerated workloads for both soft and hardware in an AWS environment. 

This is a newly created role, which is usually better than a backfill.

You aren’t here to continue someone else's legacy. 

Your manager isn’t wounded by losing someone in the team, and is energized about a new hire starting that they’ve been making the case for. 

Instead, you’re joining a team of 4 split into Infra, SRE and Cloud Platform (plus your manager) which means a well-distributed workload. 

It’s a new role in a growth business too, so you’ll get to co-contribute to how things get done in the function. 

Now, a lot of ads will say this. But this truly is a SaaS company like no other.

The category they’re in is exceptionally niche.

The company has a strong balance sheet having recently set a global record in their category for Series B raises.

Globally distributed team of 140 people across Australia, the US, and the UK—a diverse group made up of academics, engineers, marketers, and more.

There will be opportunities to progress and elevate your career. You’ll have structure and pathway to Staff and Principal Engineering roles. 

You’ll need 5+ years experience industry experience and recent experience working with Kube in a Cloud environment. 

You’ll have 2 impactful days a week in the Sydney offic with lots of flexibility outside of this. 

There’s a wellness and L&D allowance.

$160-175K AUD + super + bonus

A sharp interview process (3 stages) that will be done within a week. 

This role will get filled quickly. 

Get in touch asap julien@theonset.com.au or 0406 158 832

Visa sponsorship is not an option. You will need to be an AU citizen. 

Senior Frontend Engineer

Healthtech Company

Up to $200k + super

“I want to work for a company that is doing good for the world. Nothing crypto or gambling.” - 99% of people looking for a new role

Well, if you’re one of the 99% who feels like they want to be working on great tech, with an awesome team but are also providing services which genuinely save lives then you might want to keep reading…

You could be joining a healthtech company which helps patients to get the life saving treatment that they might need but just don’t know where to turn. They also help to speed up clinical trials and drive better outcomes for patients.

Over the past 3 years they’ve been through some change and have now hit a huge revenue milestone meaning that they are growing the team. 

The role

You’d be joining as a Senior Frontend Engineer but this role is more than that. Everyone within the team drives change and makes things happen so whilst it’s a fairly flat structure, you’ll be having a huge impact on the direction of the product and how things are done. And whilst it is frontend, you’ll understand the full-stack landscape and how each component affects the overall product. 

Tech-stack is React, TypeScript and GraphQL so expertise in this is a given, however, you’d be expected to be able to get involved in Product Design and have conversations with the backend team who will be working in Java / Kotlin, Postgres, DBT, Docker, AWS, DevOps etc. You won’t need to be an expert in this tech but you’ll want to get stuck in where you can.

If you’re looking for a scaling start-up, where you will have a huge impact on the direction of the business then this ticks a lot of boxes. 

It will be scrappy, it will be fun, you’ll work with a great team and you’ll be doing good for the world. 

This role is 3 days a week in the office in Sydney CBD and as a start-up, they value in person collaboration. However, they are flexible too. If you aren’t looking to work in Sydney hybrid for the majority of the time, this role isn’t going to be for you. 

If it does sound like the sort of thing that would be good for you, apply here or connect with me, Jon Holland on LinkedIn

Full-Stack Software Engineer (Node.js, React, TypeScript)

No-code Platform

Up to $150k + Super + ESOP

Sydney - 2 days a week

Picture a world where anyone, not just the tech-savvy, can craft digital solutions. 

There are people out there who share this vision and have built out a no-code platform to empower businesses to bring their ideas to life, without wrestling with lines of code.

In building their product, they have gained funding from Australia’s top investors and picked up a number of awards along the way.

They’ve captured the attention of global enterprise companies who have signed up for multiple year contracts and they now moved on to the US market where they are scaling rapidly.

You’ll join the lean founding team in Australia, working closely with the co-founders to design, architect, and build the product and new features. The tech stack is NodeJS, React, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and/or CI/CD tools. A lot of the backend has been built in Golang beforehand so a desire to work on Go would be pretty important.

This role would appeal to you if:

• You’re driven by being in an established start-up which is now scaling into international markets
• You like to work closely with founders who actively seek new ideas and are keen to be told they are wrong
• You love to be across the whole JavaScript Stack - NodeJS, React, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS and would like to dabble in Golang and AI.

They are based in Sydney and do value face-time. Having said that they are pretty flexible - 2 days a week in the office is where they land at the moment to allow people across tech, product and marketing to team up, collaborate and drive the product.

If you’re reading this thinking you’d like to be a part of what they are doing, apply here or reach out to Jon Holland on LinkedIn.

If you don’t have an updated CV, don't worry, let’s chat anyway!

Senior Frontend Engineer - Embedded

$180k + super + shares

Sydney - 3-4 days in office

Fed up of building web apps and want to work on something tangible, something you can touch, something that is used in the real world and used for good?

This is an opportunity to build an interface that connects to hardware which saves lives everyday. Your work will be directly connected to real-world impact.

Imagine working alongside AI / ML teams and RF Sensing Engineers who are creating complex hardware and your job is to make it super simple to use. You will of course be working with other awesome software engineers but you’ll be a part of something bigger than the sum of it’s parts. 

The existing frontend is built in Vue but they are migrating to React so being comfortable in vanilla JavaScript and cross framework would be important. In fact, this role is more about solving problems than being language specific. There will be some work on the existing system but the lion's share of the work you’ll be doing is on greenfield, never-been-done-before tech. 

Never-been-done-before can sometimes be seen as a gamble but seeing as they’ve raised $250m, have teams globally and customers in 120 different countries, all signs point to them doing it REALLY well.  

You don’t need to have experience in embedded frontend but it would help as there is a level of complexity which isn’t found in traditional backend-frontend systems. However, if you’re super curious and love making complex things simple, this could be a chance to use your skills to do something completely different.

Here’s some reason you might be interested in the role:

• You love the idea of working on a product which is saving lives
• You are an engineer at heart and like solving problems but you also want to make them usable 
• You’ve worked in pure software companies and done well but would like to challenge yourself
• You want to be a part of something big. Something which the world is looking at and putting their money into

If you’re an engineer first, and frontend developer second then this could be a role for you. Apply here if you’d like to find out more.
