Software Engineer

We are partnering with a fast-scaling technology business focused on unlocking real-time insight from complex physical environments. Their software enables organisations to make faster, more informed operational decisions by extracting intelligence from existing sensor and video infrastructure.

Rather than requiring wholesale hardware replacement, the platform integrates with deployed systems to deliver enhanced visibility, event reconstruction, and live operational awareness. The company is building a reputation for delivering high-impact outcomes in security-sensitive and operationally demanding environments.

Working Environment

The team operates with a high degree of ownership and trust. Engineers are given meaningful autonomy and are expected to take problems from ambiguity through to delivery. The culture suits pragmatic builders who are comfortable working close to real-world users and iterating quickly based on feedback.

Engineering Team

This group sits close to customers and plays a key role in translating real operational problems into working technical solutions. The team works across product, engineering, and end users to ensure deployments deliver measurable value.

Work is often exploratory in nature, and requirements may be incomplete at the outset, so the environment suits engineers who are comfortable structuring problems, making sensible trade-offs, and delivering incrementally in live environments.

The Opportunity

We are looking for software engineers with a strong record of shipping production systems in real-world settings. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with customers to understand operational challenges and build high-impact solutions that bridge product and deployment.

The role is intentionally broad and may include:

  • Building and optimising data pipelines
  • Developing backend services and APIs
  • Creating lightweight UI components where needed
  • Supporting on-site integration with customer environments
  • Feeding real-world insights back into product teams

The core technology environment currently includes Python, Rust, and Typescript running on Linux-based systems, though the team values pragmatic tool selection over rigid stack adherence.

This is a hybrid position with regular customer engagement.

Expect roughly 30–50% onsite involvement, depending on project phase.
