===================

DownUnder GeoSolutions is an innovative geosciences company with a diverse  
range of capabilities. Our products and services are at the cutting edge of  
exploration and production services to the global oil and gas industry.

We operate three world-class supercomputer clusters totaling nearly 30  
petaflops, running a large suite of custom scientific applications. The  
research and development team of mathematicians, geophysicists, and software  
engineers are responsible for creating and maintaining this suite of  
signal-processing and subsurface imaging tools.

We’re looking for talented low-level software developers who are keen to  
apply their skills to a new scientific domain. We operate a mixed Java / C /  
C++ environment and make heavy use of the Intel Xeon Phi, with its high  
memory bandwidth and AVX-512 instruction set.

You'll leverage your experience to determine when it's worth it to operate in  
C, to decide when there's value in hand-vectorising, and when it's a waste of  
time. When submitting your application, you'll show that you have an  
attention to detail by including ‘Shibboleth’ in your cover letter.

Your tasks:
•	high- and detailed-level design of complex geophysical processing  
software,
•	implementation, testing, and maintenance of software in Java and/or C,
•	inspection and maintenance of software written by other members of the  
team,
•	learning basic geophysics, common industry workflows, and terminology,
•	supporting the company's service divisions, who use the products you  
create,
•	providing and receiving regular, constructive feedback to and from your  
peers,
•	collaborating on priority and scheduling for rapid product iterations,
•	acting as mentor for an exceptional intern or junior developer.

Required:
•	demonstrated expert-level skills as a software developer in C or C++ (if  
you also have Java expertise, so much the better)
•	demonstrated abilities in low-level performance optimisation (you should  
be comfortable having an in-depth conversation about concepts such as  
threading, concurrency, vectorisation, memory alignment, loop unrolling,  
etc.)
•	a history of advanced work in some of our major focus areas, such as data  
management, large I/O, highly-parallel computing, or numerical processing (in  
another industry is fine; we're interested in the "how", not the "why")
•	excellent written and spoken business and technical English, suitable for  
working directly with end-users
•	familiarity with version control, bug tracking, code review, &c. systems  
(Git skills are a plus, but not required)
•	impeccable professional references or a recognisable shibboleth

(We expect that most people require at least 10 - 15 years of serious  
programming, either for fun, at school, or at work, to reach this level.)

Compensation
An attractive salary will be negotiated based on skills and experience.
