Senior Software Developer

The SKA Observatory (SKAO) is on a mission to build and operate the world’s largest radio telescopes. To fully exploit the scientific output of the immense amount of data flowing from the telescopes, the SKAO is working with science communities across the world through SKA Regional Centres (SRCs), which are nationally lead hubs that form the basis of a global compute and science support infrastructure.

The Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) is Australia’s portion of this international network, tasked with establishing and building capability to support the Australian and international SKA science communities, thereby ushering in the next era of astronomical discovery and advanced data processing.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Curtin University, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, and The University of Western Australia (UWA) are the four foundation partners formally collaborating to support and develop the Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) into a long-term national facility.
