The need has now arisen for a Product Manager with a strong payments focus to join the business as they transition into a more aligned, lifecycle-based squad model, investing in strengthening their payments capability to ensure it remains scalable, reliable and future-ready.

This is a Product Manager role focused on payments platform capability,

You will be responsible for strengthening how payments are processed, settled and integrated across their ecosystem.

Your focus will include:

• Payment gateway integrations
• Digital and in-person payment flows
• Supplier payouts and settlement

You will work within a cross-functional squad alongside Engineering and Design to improve how payments operate across both customer-facing and operational experiences.

This includes everything from how a parent makes a payment through to how funds are settled with suppliers.

• Exposure to integrations and vendor-led environments
• Experience operating in cross-functional squads

You might also have:

This role suits someone who wants to build depth in payments while working in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

Okay, picture this — they've got a cloud practice split into four parts: Azure, Hybrid, UC… and M365. That’s where this role comes in. You’ll be the person who actually helps customers make sense of Microsoft 365, gets them set up properly, and shows them how to use it efficiently.

About 20% of your time, you’re in pre-sales, talking to customers, figuring out what they need, advising them on licensing, cost optimisation, basically being the Microsoft 365 SME. 50% of your time is billable consulting — you’ll be doing roadmaps, maturity assessments, running workshops, and showing clients how to make the most of M365, and then the remaining 30% is tech oversight, working with the new Endpoint and IAM pods to figure out patterns, governance, and scalable architecture.

In your first 6–12 months, you’ll:

Take control of all our Microsoft relationships and own that channel from start to finish; audit the current license base; kick off a campaign to sell services; and finally work with our engineering team to define automated Endpoint and IAM patterns.

If you want high maturity and lots of structure, then this might not be for you. They are a scale up company, so you'll get a lot of autonomy, you set the agenda, decide the direction, not tied down by what’s been done before, and there is a big AI swing happening — they're trying to bring this whole M365 world to life in a new way.

Who we’re looking for:

• Someone who really gets Microsoft 365 licensing and can advise customers on cost and optimisation.

• Pre-sales and consulting experience is a must — you can translate business needs into scalable architecture.

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.
