The opportunity 

The SKA-Low project is part of the SKA Observatory’s global mission to build the world’s largest and most advanced radio telescope. In Australia, SKA-Low is being developed on Wajarri Yamaji Country in remote Western Australia, combining high-performance computing, advanced networking and cutting-edge software systems to process vast volumes of scientific data. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to globally significant, next-generation scientific infrastructure.

The Computing and Software Group delivers the core platforms and systems that underpin SKA-Low operations. These include integrated control systems managing millions of variables, high-performance data processing capabilities, science management systems, and large-scale distributed networks operating at extraordinary speeds.

As the Web/UI Developer, you will develop and support user interfaces used to operate the SKA-Low telescope. You will create intuitive, high-quality UI components that support telescope monitoring and control, the planning and monitoring of observations, and the visualisation of scientific data products. Working primarily with JavaScript and front-end frameworks such as React and NextJS, you will also integrate user interfaces with broader telescope systems using technologies such as GraphQL.

You will collaborate with operations and commissioning users to understand their requirements and translate them into practical, usable solutions. As part of a globally distributed software team, you will contribute across the development lifecycle using modern engineering practices, including version control, continuous integration and delivery, automated testing, documentation and code quality processes. You will work within an agile delivery environment as the project progresses from construction towards long-term telescope operations.
