The role

This role provides an opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of activities and technologies in a thriving and highly technical environment.  You will be working to develop solutions that will make a real difference to our engineering teams and to the products and services we deliver to our clients and customers.  There will be opportunities to demonstrate technical leadership on projects and development initiatives.

This role requires a deep knowledge of good development practices, a range of client/server development targets and experience with cloud providers and services they provide that support software and application development. Although the role draws heavily upon commodity development toolchains, there will be an occasional need to come to terms with specific development tools, frameworks and skill sets to meet project requirements.

Youll join a growing and collaborative development team with a range of skills and experiences, based mainly in the Asia Pacific region. The role reports to the head of digital design tools development, who is based in Melbourne.

“In my role I get to work with a diverse set of people from across the globe. This broadens my perspective and provides a rich learning experience – there’s always something new to learn. Arup is very much a humane organization and I really value the collaborative spirit in the team and the flexibility I’m given.”
