ABOUT NEARA
Imagine preventing wildfires before they start, or ensuring power grids stay resilient during extreme weather. That’s the real-world impact we create every day at Neara.
We build 3D physics-enabled digital twins of critical infrastructure networks that help utilities and infrastructure companies run scenarios, assess risks, and make smarter decisions that affect millions of lives.
We’re not just another tech company - we’re one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies 2024. We're making tangible differences in communities worldwide. And we're backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital investors.
Our team is passionate, brilliant, and genuinely excited about solving problems that matter. We’ve built something special here: a culture where everyone owns our mission, innovation thrives, and great work gets recognised. And now we’re ready for our next chapter of growth.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be designing and implementing features in one of our engineering groups:
Digitisation: generate digital twins from various data sources using a mix of machine learning, algorithms and work on tooling to correct bad extractions as fast as possible.
Platform: provide the API surface for organisations to extract the most value out of the data hosted on the Neara platform. Work on our internal expression language and work with customers and other teams to identify the abstractions we need to provide.
Design: take digital twins (or prospective designs) and analyse the viability of designs, from load analysis on infrastructure to identifying the resilience of the electric network to extreme weather events.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Digitisation
Develop and measure algorithmic/ML improvements to digital twin extraction.
Improve monitoring to identify when our systems do a bad job of digital twin extraction (for example, distribution drift, misconfiguration).
Develop tooling to quickly fix problems created by automated solutions.

Platform
Develop the functionality of our internal platform by identifying common abstractions that can apply to many unique use cases.
Data abstractions that allow users to semantically model and interact with their organisation's data.
Design
Develop solutions that provide designers the ability to simulate the structural forces on the network and the behaviour of the network in various weather scenarios.
Develop CAD-like tooling to import engineering designs to develop networks or work with Digitisation to fit lidar and imagery to engineering designs in order to achieve better simulations.
WHAT WE OFFER
Competitive salary & meaningful ESOP
Fully flexible working arrangements with a well-stocked office in Redfern
Regular office events
The real benefit is working on a genuinely complex, innovative and industry-leading product, making a genuine difference in the world around us.
