Lead Platform / Infrastructure Engineer

The company
Qsic is one of the world’s first commercial music streaming platforms, influencing over 100 million shoppers at the point of purchase monthly. In addition to helping businesses establish and own their brand sound, we also help retailers to activate their Retail Media Networks by setting up, running and commercialising their audio assets. We are now a leading provider of AI technology that strategically leverages the power of audio to deliver better customer and sales experiences. 

The role
We’re hiring a lead platform engineer to join our growing team. We are after someone who has experience with:

• building systems and infrastructure at scale
• working with AWS, Kubernetes and infrastructure as code with Terraform
• optimising release / deployment processes
• leading projects and delivery

The technology
Predominantly our stack is Python & Django on AWS. We also work with React for our back office software. 

You’ll work with the team in building our AI enabled platform that ingests client’s POS data (point of sale, to be clear:)), streams music and optimised advertising to smart speakers (fun fact - we’re one of the world’s biggest installers of Sonos and Bluesound Professional speakers) and provides analytics to our customers so they know the positive impact we’re having. 

Our system is composed of a distributed fleet of devices installed in our customers’ locations, with a central API and AI-driven stack to help ensure the right content and messaging is delivered for maximum impact. This leads to some extraordinarily interesting problems, ranging from scaling our services to handle >100k requests per minute, reliably operating tens of thousands of embedded systems, building industry-leading AI applications to drive effective messaging, all the way through designing the UIs that help us and our customers understand their data and use our platform day-to-day.

The offer

• Competitive salary + equity
• Work flexible hours remotely around Australia or from our Melbourne office
• Inclusive Team Culture - Join the whole team for frequent gatherings. We get everyone together at least once a quarter

Note: Lookahead has been retained to hire this role.
