The opportunity
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is a world-class high-performance computing facility supporting Australian researchers across fields like radio astronomy, energy, engineering, bioinformatics, and health. Based in Perth, Pawsey is a joint venture between CSIRO and four WA universities, with support from state and federal governments.
Home to Setonix—the Southern Hemisphere’s most powerful research supercomputer—Pawsey delivers cutting-edge computing, networking, and storage capabilities.

The centre is also exploring emerging technologies, including quantum computing.
This role offers the chance to architect solutions that support national and international researchers, working with a highly skilled team to deploy integrated, high-performance systems. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about the research driving global innovation—along with access to flexible working arrangements.

- Design and lead the development of front-end websites and back-end applications to integrate with Pawsey’s advanced infrastructure.
- Maintain and secure production systems, troubleshoot complex issues, and manage support requests.

- Share knowledge across the technical team and contribute to internal training activities.
- Collaborate with colleagues, partners, and clients to achieve shared objectives and uphold Pawsey’s reputation.
- Champion CSIRO’s values, including safety, inclusion, and continuous improvement in the workplace.
