Senior Software Engineer - Australia

Neara is a high-growth technology company, backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital and private equity investors, including EQT and Partners Group. Neara has developed a software platform that builds sophisticated, engineering-grade 3D digital models of critical infrastructure, delivered under a software-as-a-service model. To date, Neara has primarily focused on modelling electricity grids but is also expanding rapidly into other infrastructure verticals such as telecommunications and rail. 

Neara’s software platform has been adopted by infrastructure owners and operators around the world to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the industry. Neara’s platform delivers solutions across the entire asset life cycle, from the design and construction of new networks to access renewable energy generation, to high-value problem statements in asset management, through to the impact of climate change and extreme weather on the reliability and availability of critical commodities such as electricity.  

Recognised as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2024, our vision is to change how the world designs, builds and operates critical infrastructure. After achieving close to 90% market share in Australia and New Zealand, Neara’s primary growth focus is now the Americas, the UK and Europe, where a significant majority of our revenue growth is now derived. 
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be designing and implementing features in one of our engineering groups: 

• Digitisation: generate digital twins from various data sources using a mix of machine learning, algorithms and work on tooling to correct bad extractions as fast as possible.

• Platform: provide the API surface for organisations to extract the most value out of the data hosted on the Neara platform. Work on our internal expression language and work with customers and other teams to identify the abstractions we need to provide.

• Design: take digital twins (or prospective designs) and analyse the viability of designs, from load analysis on infrastructure to identifying the resilience of the electric network to extreme weather events. 

Digitisation

• Develop and measure algorithmic/ML improvements to digital twin extraction.

• Improve monitoring to identify when our systems do a bad job of digital twin extraction (for example distribution drift, misconfiguration).

• Develop tooling to quickly fix problems created by automated solutions.

Platform

• Develop the functionality of our internal platform by identifying common abstractions that can apply to many unique use cases.

• Data abstractions that allow users to semantically model and interact with their organizations data.

Design

• Develop solutions that provide designers the ability to simulate the structural forces on the network and behaviour of the network in various weather scenarios.

• Develop CAD like tooling to import engineering designs to develop networks or work with Digitisation to fit lidar and imagery to engineering designs in order to achieve better simulations.

• Competitive salary & meaningful ESOP

• Fully flexible working arrangements with a well-stocked office in Redfern

• Regular office events

• The real benefit is working on a genuinely complex, innovative and industry-leading product, making a genuine difference in the world around us.
