Software Engineer

Architecta Pty Ltd

We are a Melbourne software company working with some of the world's most demanding data, across defence, healthcare, research and media. We build Mediaflux, our own data management platform, and we own every line of code in it. Our engineers work from first principles, building systems from the ground up rather than assembling existing platforms.

We're looking for an experienced Software Developer to take a leading role on our Digital Asset Management platform. It's a hands-on role with real technical ownership, helping set the architecture, making design decisions, and supporting the developers around you. It suits someone who enjoys depth and precision, and solving problems that don't have an off-the-shelf answer.

Benefits

• Salary of $100,000 – $120,000 per year, depending on experience, plus superannuation
• Full-time, permanent role with flexible working arrangements
• Based in convenient inner Melbourne office, close to public transport
• Professional development support, including training and conference attendance
• Genuine technical ownership and mentoring from senior engineers
• A small, collaborative team where your work has visible impact

Task & responsibilities

• Lead the development of our Digital Asset Management platform, built on Mediaflux
• Set technical direction and architecture for the platform's algorithms and data structures
• Design and develop software algorithms and data structures, primarily in Java
• Evaluate existing algorithms and methods to improve performance and reduce computational complexity
• Develop software using object-oriented design and construction principles
• Apply and, where appropriate, define design patterns across the platform
• Guide and review the work of other developers contributing to the platform
• Optimise application performance, including debugging, profiling and memory optimisation
• Manage code using the GIT revision control system
• Work with network protocols and integration technologies such as XML and JSON, and assess emerging technologies for use in the platform

Qualification & experience

You'll need strong Java and object-oriented design skills, solid experience designing and evaluating algorithms and data structures, and at least three years in software development. A degree in computer science, software engineering or a related field is expected, or equivalent industry experience.

Applicants MUST provide their Australian work rights status (including visa type and length, if not an Australian citizen or permanent resident). Applications received without this information will not be progressed further.

About Company

We are an Australian software company that has been working in data management since 1998. From our base in Melbourne, we develop Mediaflux, a platform used by organisations around the world to manage data at petabyte scale across defence, healthcare, research, life sciences, geospatial and media. We design and build our technology ourselves, which allows us to take on problems that don't have a ready-made solution. We're a small team that values collaboration, both within the business and with our customers. We pride ourselves on adopting a careful, considered approach to everything we do.
