CSIRO Land and Water is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer / Systems Architect position to join a growing team developing products and applications for the Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT). There are two existing web-based tools from TraNSIT, called TraNSIT Web and the Supply Chain Benchmarking Dashboard.
TraNSIT is widely used across government, with a rapidly growing demand to inform Australia’s future infrastructure investments and increase the resilience of our supply chains. As a result, clients are now increasingly reliant on TraNSIT for their day-to-day core business meaning TraNSIT must be continually available, fast, stable, robust and technologically current. To support this, our software needs to transition from R&D software to production software.

You will design and oversee the technical aspects of TraNSIT’s external facing tools and also support high level applications of TraNSIT for big projects and support development of visualization tools. You will be involved in high level systems architecture and systems design, the selection of technology stacks and services, HPC, cloud service, databasing options, and web services and web platform design.
This role is offered on a full-time or part-time basis (minimum 0.8 FTE).
Your duties will include:
- Driving and overseeing the transition of TraNSIT from R&D software to production level software.
- Lead web platform design and development, including meeting cyber security protocols, managing contributions from junior team members, liaising with external stakeholders as part of defining system and functionality requirements and compatibility with internal systems.
- Designing the web based products for TraNSIT outputs from Australian Climate Service and working with key government agencies to integrate into the external platforms.
- Designing web based products for other major initiatives such as Supply Chain Benchmarking Tool v2, TraNSIT Web 2, and WA food security dashboard.
- Determining suitable database solutions for TraNSIT and its products to improve performance, allow more complex functionality and accommodate larger data sets in the future.
- Future-proofing software development and providing guidance to other staff members in the contribution of programming and functionality development in the tools.
