Job Title

Nearmap is the Australianfounded, global tech pioneer innovating the location intelligence game. Customers rely on Nearmap for consistent, reliable, highresolution imagery, insights, and answers to create meaningful change in the world and propel industries forward. Harnessing its own patented camera systems, imagery capture, AI, geospatial tools, and advanced SaaS platforms, Nearmap stands as the definitive source of truth that shapes the livable world. Machine Learning Engineer Deep Learning Specialist The Machine Learning (ML) Engineer will undertake technical work to design, prototype and develop LLMbased products that utilise Earth Observation data, primarily Nearmap imagery and AI data. Where a data scientist typically focuses on the meaning in the data and producing accurate models, the ML Engineer focuses on integrating models and data into complex workflows that autonomously solve problems. The role requires solving a variety of challenging problems in software engineering, agentic AI design and evaluation, and close collaboration with data scientists as a peer. Key Responsibilities Performs software engineering tasks required by an endtoend AI system. Designs, builds and maintains subcomponents of an AI system, in collaboration with data scientists: microservices, APIs, working with technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, MCP. Collaborates with other engineering teams and DevOps to ensure consistent best practices and integration of systems. Reviews code and work of peers. Personal Attributes we love to see Pragmatism : While extensive knowledge of ML theory is highly valued, pragmatism wins over elaborate theory when it comes to shipping products that work. Collaboration : We believe data science is a team sport, and are after candidates who can communicate well, share knowledge, and be open to taking on ideas from anyone in the team. Having worked on shared codebases in a commercial environment is a big plus, but it''s the attitude that matters most. Technical Skills : A decent base of python and linux are key to a role in the team. Other than that, we''re pretty flexible we know tools are changing rapidly, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Experience with tools like Kubernetes, Helm, PyTorch, Terraform, Prometheus etc. are highly valued, but not mandatory. Attention to detail : Showing attention to detail when it counts is important. Qualifications Key Requirements : Formal education in a technical, data related field (Bachelors degree in computer science, engineering, statistics, physics, etc.), with an emphasis on software development. Ideally at least 2 years experience writing production grade commercial software in a team environment. Machine learning knowledge and experience with LLMpowered systems is highly desirable, but a passion to learn more is sufficient. We see ML engineering as a subfield of software engineering, that benefits greatly from a good foundation in at least 10200k words of practicing prompts, model finetuning, etc. Mandatory : Programming/Tech Environments: Ability to code in scientific python, using a linux environment, and git for source control. Machine Learning: Appreciation of machine learning fundamentals. Engineering Approach: Follow best practices in modern software engineering, applying them to build robust, scalable machine learning systems. Highly Desirable : Domain Knowledge NLP/LLM: Working on Machine Learning problems applied to text data. Software Engineering: Working on shared codebases to produce production quality code. Cloud Computing: Working on AWS or GCP using distributed virtual machines, docker containers, etc. GPU: Using GPUs to accelerate scientific computing. Deep Learning: Applying modern artificial neural networks to solve machine learning problems. Scale: Working with large data sets, where data sets dont fit into memory, and require multiple nodes to compute efficiently. Benefits Quarterly wellbeing day off four additional days off annually for your ''YOU'' Days. Access to LinkedIn Learning. Wellbeing and technology allowance. Annual flu vaccinations. Hybrid flexibility for this role. Nearmap subscription (of course!). Stocked kitchen with access to all the snacks you need. Inoffice lunch every Tuesday and Thursday at our Sydney CBD office. Showers available for anyone cycling to work or lunchtime gymgoers! Working at Nearmap We move fast and work smart; often wearing multiple hats. We adapted to remote working with ease and are continually looking at ways to improve. Were proud of our inclusive, supportive culture, and maintain a safe environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and can be themselves.
