Verse Perth, Western Australia, AustraliaSoftware Engineer - OptimisationThis is your opportunity to design and build a smart assignment engine that improves operational efficiency and decision-making in real time.You'll be part of a small, high-performing internal team that works across multiple domains, lifting engineering standards, exploring new solutions, and solving complex, high-impact problems.
The focus is on deep technical work, hands-on coding, and mathematical modelling, bringing abstract logic and algorithms to life through software.This is a 12-month contract offering up to $110 per hour + Super, with flexible hybrid work arrangements (roughly 3 days from home).
If you're the right fit, there's strong potential for long-term engagement.About YouWe're looking for someone who brings a rare combination of:Optimisation Expertise – You've tackled real-world optimisation problems (such as scheduling, resource allocation, or route planning) and can guide others in this space.Strong Engineering Skills – You've built and scaled complex systems.
You're confident working in C#, or willing to transition from another language like Python, Java, C++, or MATLAB.Clear Communicator – You can explain complex logic and mathematical models to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.You likely have 7+ years of professional experience, with at least 3 years focused on optimisation problems—but we're open if your experience is otherwise aligned.Experience in time-sensitive or data-rich systems is a bonus, but not essential.Key ResponsibilitiesBuild the core optimisation engine for intelligent task or resource assignmentPrototype models, guide technical direction, and transition proofs of concept into production codeCollaborate with engineers, architects, and subject matter experts to solve real-world challengesProvide input into solution design and delivery planningMentor other engineers on optimisation approaches and engineering best practicesThe BenefitsRate: Up to $110/hour + SuperScope: High-impact work, deep technical focus, and variety across multiple problem spacesLongevity: This role plays a key part in a larger roadmap, with strong potential to extend or move to permHow to ApplyIf this opportunity aligns with your skills and career goals, please apply.
