About the area

Join the Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC) at UWA, where cutting-edge AI research meets real-world impact - from Perth to the world. The RoadSense Analytics (RSA) project is a next-generation video analytics platform for traffic analysis, built on more than seven years of continuous R&D. Backed by the AEA Innovate Grant, we are now taking this pioneering Australian research into its most exciting phase: bringing advanced AI to market through a secure, scalable, cloud-native Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.

This is your opportunity to bridge the gap between academic innovation and commercial deployment, a rare chance to see your work directly improve:

· Road safety by detecting near misses and reducing crashes

· Traffic efficiency by cutting congestion and improving flow

· Transport system performance through better data-driven planning and investment decisions

You will join a small, agile team of a solution architect, a UX/UI designer, a frontend-focused full-stack developer, and AI/ML researchers, working in close collaboration to bring breakthrough computer vision models to market. Together, we are building the secure, high-performance backend infrastructure that makes advanced AI usable at scale.

About the opportunity

  • Lead backend development of a scalable, secure, multi-tenant video analytics platform, including APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with the Solution Architect to shape and evolve backend architecture, gradually taking on more architectural responsibilities.
  • Deliver robust backend services integrating real-time AI/ML inference, supporting DevOps practices, and ensuring smooth cross-team collaboration.

About you

  • Tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of backend development experience in Python, , or Go.
  • Demonstrated experience contributing to software/system architecture in SaaS or data platforms.
  • Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure provisioning.
  • Strong knowledge of API development, authentication/authorisation (e.g., JWT, OAuth2), and cloud-native environments.
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD, and container orchestration.

Note: Occasional interstate or international travel may be required.
