Senior software engineers are required to join the Software Engineering team developing this aspect of the MeerKAT telescope.

    The software engineering team uses agile methods (SCRUM) and continuous integration techniques to develop software within an incremental development plan.

    The development environment includes technologies such as ProxMox for virtualisation of Ubuntu LTS servers, Python 2.7+, Javascript (Angular), PostgreSQL, Redis, GitHub and Jenkins. Knowledge of these technologies would be beneficial.

    • 10+ years of experience in a software engineering environment, preferably in an engineering development project with a strong software focus.
    • Expert in Python programming language and solid experience in development, testing, deployment, commissioning, release and support of large scale projects in Python.
    • Significant technical experience in architecture design and development of large software projects (experience with command and control systems will be beneficial)
